Organisations where AI must earn its keep, and be run with care.
Legal, finance and accounting firms. Every output has to be defensible.
Book a consultation
Aged care, disability and NDIS, allied health. Staff hours are the most precious thing you have, and the people you serve can't carry the cost when AI gets it wrong.
Book a consultation
Not-for-profits, peak bodies and government agencies. You answer to members, funders and the public, so anything AI touches has to be transparent and accountable.

Meet the team
United by purpose since 2021
Cadent was founded in the city of Moreton Bay well before the rise of generative AI. But since our small team has been together, we've been motivated by helping organisations realise the benefits of AI and minimise its risk of harm to people and the environment.
From our founder
“We only deploy AI when getting it right adds value and builds trust. When we're able to align the performance of our systems with the priorities of our stakeholders, we can't not make massive positive impact.”
James Gauci · Founder
