On April 7, 2025, at the University of La Libertad in Mexico City, INTELLI (DS Intelligence) emerged as one of the standout finalists during the FinTech World Cup Mexico qualifier. The event brought together visionary fintech startups to compete for a coveted spot at the Grand Finale in Dubai. DS Intelligence was celebrated alongside innovative peers for its groundbreaking approach to decentralized, offline‑first AI tools in financial services.
Competing in a Shark‑Tank format before a panel of investors and industry experts, INTELLI showcased its mission: deploying AI offline, ensuring complete data privacy, and empowering financial institutions—even in areas with limited connectivity. The approach aligned seamlessly with the competition’s core values—innovation, inclusion, and strategic scalability.
INTELLI developed in less than a month a Financial Assistant with an offline decentralized AI API that allows micro and small SMEs to run their day to day activities with all the finance assiatnce they needed. Capable of receive data via text or voice, it captures data and delivers every week crucial financial data such as margins, cost system, metrics, and other data that is vital for their operation; also advicing with information for decision-making and projections on sales and costs.
In Latin America alone, over 400 million people remain underbanked or underserved by traditional financial services. With rising data protection regulations and unequal access to internet infrastructure, cloud-based AI solutions leave millions behind. Its offline capability ensures consistent performance in volatile network conditions, while its privacy-first model aligns with regional data laws like Mexico’s LFPDPPP and Brazil’s LGPD. INTELLI is not just a technological shift—it’s an inclusive infrastructure for the future of financial access.
INTELLI’s recognition as a national finalist marks a major milestone for DS Intelligence—validating its vision of financial sovereignty through offline, privacy-conscious AI. As DS Intelligence gears up for the Grand Finale in Dubai, the company stands ready to amplify its mission on the world stage.
