How Genotype Health built AI automation into its DNA before launch
It's absolutely critical to automate as much as possible and to think about it in the business design from the very start.

Designing for automation from day one
Rather than waiting for operational inefficiencies to appear, Mimi Zilliacus chose to design Genotype Health for automation from day one.
Having previously lived through the pain of retrofitting digital systems into growing organisations, she wanted scalable infrastructure built into the company's DNA before launch, not bolted on after the fact.
Advisory first, then a working prototype
SMEC AI mapped and clarified core workflows across the business, identified high-leverage AI automation opportunities, and provided structured technical advisory documentation with clearly scoped effort and feasibility.
From there SMEC AI took full ownership of the build, delivering a tailored AI prototype aligned to Genotype Health's strategic goals.

“It's absolutely critical to automate as much as possible and to think about it in the business design from the very start. Genotype Health is building in a regulated healthcare sector across Australia, Indonesia and Thailand, and I knew from experience that retrofitting digital systems into a growing company is brutal. SMEC AI took full ownership of the scope, delivered a working prototype, and removed the operational burden at the most critical early growth phase, exactly what a founder needs.”
