“It is no secret that Kazakhstan is rapidly advancing in the IT sector, and today we can see how innovative startups are reaching a global level. During the Digital Almaty event, local startups were showcased that are already competing in the international market. It is possible that our developers may become the new 'IT prophets' in the future, like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates,” noted PR Director of the Forum Lyazzat Sagyndykova.

Call2Action.ai: A Revolution in Recruitment

One of the promising Kazakhstani startups is call2action.ai. According to the company's founder, Ersultan Jussakinov, the project utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize the recruitment process. The system fully automates two stages of the interview: AI independently calls candidates and then conducts video interviews, analyzing responses and assigning each candidate a score on a 10-point scale. Employers receive a list of the best candidates selected by the system, significantly reducing the time and resources needed for hiring.

KOZ: Digital Assistants for Business

Another groundbreaking project is KOZ. As developer Ermukhamet Kuatov explained, they are creating AI agents capable of replacing entire departments within companies. KOZ AI agents can perform the functions of HR departments, independently analyzing candidates, conducting interviews, and testing. Furthermore, the startup's technologies are actively utilized in sales and marketing departments: bots find clients, communicate with them, and autonomously sell products.

The Institute of Digital Transformation of Artificial Intelligence at Narxoz University

Last year, the Institute of Digital Transformation of Artificial Intelligence was established at Narxoz University, focusing on scientific research and development in the field of AI. Special attention is given to the mining and metallurgical and oil and gas industries. One of their key projects involves optimizing production processes through machine learning. AI analyzes incoming ore and suggests optimal processing parameters, replacing operators. This solution can increase processing volume by 10% and improve extraction by 0.5–1%. For medium and large companies, this could lead to savings of $50–100 million annually.

Kazakhstan on the Path to a Digital Power

These startups are just a small part of Kazakhstan's rapidly evolving ecosystem. Government support for innovation, the development of venture financing, and the presence of highly skilled specialists create favorable conditions for the emergence of new technological leaders. Kazakhstan stands on the brink of a digital revolution, and in the near future, its IT startups will be able to compete with global players.
