Australian consultancy proves Generative-AI success doesn't need eye-watering licence fees or months-long strategy projects
Revium Revium, an Australian AI consultancy, has launched the AI Adoption Framework, allowing organisations to deploy AI agents in as little as four weeks. This six-phase program includes practical workshops and uses a secure AI Toolkit for low-cost AI model experimentation, bypassing expensive licenses. Positive feedback shows increased confidence and recognition of AI's value among participants. As a leader in AI transformation, Revium offers an effective, low-cost path to swift AI integration. Melbourne, Australia - 16 July, 2025 - Revium, a leading Australian AI Consultancy, today announced the rapid market uptake of its new AI Adoption Framework, a hands‑on six‑phase program that equips organisations to design, build and embed production‑grade AI Agents in as little as four weeks. The framework, already in use across multiple state and local government departments as well as mid‑to‑large enterprises, pairs structured workshops with Revium's secure AI Toolkit platform, letting teams experiment with any leading large‑language model (LLM) via low‑cost APIs and without per‑seat licence lock‑in. Early feedback includes: 'We speak to so many organisations who have either had expensive false starts with AI, or who are excited about the opportunities AI presents, but paralysed because they don't know where to start,' said Adam Barty, Managing Director of Revium. 'Our framework is all about speed to value so that in the time it normally takes to scope a traditional strategy, our clients are already saving hours using AI agents they have built themselves.' Clearing backlogs and cutting costs The framework has already seen success in various settings with practical outcomes such as; Fraction‑of‑the‑price access to any leading model Revium's browser‑based AI Toolkit gives teams a secure sandbox to chat with GPT‑4o, Claude, Gemini and other models, as well as being able to build and share their own multi‑step agents across their organisation – all at roughly one‑tenth the cost of Copilot or ChatGPT Teams licences, thanks to a pay‑per‑use model and lightweight platform fee. 'We're proving you don't need a seven‑figure transformation budget to realise AI's benefits,' Barty added. 'With our AI Toolkit and Adoption Framework, frontline staff are shipping real automations inside a month, then scaling them responsibly under proper governance.' About the AI Adoption Framework The structured six phase program covers Governance, Education, Scoping, Bootstrapping, Refine and Embed and guides organisations from policy readiness to enterprise AI tool integration, with the optional four‑week AI Kickstart package accelerating the first four steps to get organisations up and running fast.

Nadal stopped Wimbledon interview after debate as he issued Grand Slam reminder
Rafael Nadal has been one of tennis' biggest names for two decades and the Spaniard took issue when a reporter asked him about whether he deserved to be playing on Centre Court Rafael Nadal famously felt the need to remind a reporter than he was in fact the World No 2 and the winner of 18 Grand Slams when he was asked if his appearance on Centre Court was justified. Back at the championships in 2019 the Spaniard took issue with a question that appeared to call his status into debate. 'Manic Monday' has caused a scheduling headache for Wimbledon organisers as all 16 fourth round matches across both the men's and women's draw take place on the same day. Ash Barty, now retired by then the women's No 1, had been playing on an outside court. Fresh off winning the French Open the Australian found herself on Court 2 for the second time in four matches and was beaten 3-6 6-2 6-3 by little-known American Alison Riske. It ignited debate over whether her match should've been playing in front of a bigger round as opposed to Nadal's 6-2 6-2 6-2 routine win over Joao Sousa. Nadal certainly had no interest in giving the politically correct answer when asked about whether Barty was deserving of the Centre Court slot. Nadal was asked the question and then responded: "Can we predict the future or not?" The reporter then reminded him that Barty was the world No 1. The Spaniard quickly hit back: "I am the world No 2 and I won 18 Grand Slams. My answer is not no or yes, my answer is they have to make a decision. But you are putting Ashleigh Barty in front of me. Both decisions would've been good. In the world of tennis today, honestly, my feeling is today I am little bit more than Ashleigh Barty, even if Ashleigh Barty is the first (ranked) player in the world and she already won in the French Open and she is playing unbelievably good. "But we can't create polemics every single day about decisions that they have to take. At the end of the day they have to make a decision. A day like today, everybody is playing, Djokovic wasn't playing on Centre. On the first day I had to play on Court One, so everyday is a decision." Barty meanwhile took a different approach when quizzed and said: "Scheduling is out of my control. I'll play on any court I'm scheduled on. Obviously scheduling is very difficult. There are so many incredible matches all the fans and all the people want to watch, and players want to be a part of. For us, the tennis court is the same size. Court 2 is a beautiful court. I enjoyed my time out there." Barty would emerge victorious on her next visit to Wimbledon two years later, beating Karolina Pliskova to win her second Grand Slam.

But Ash Barty, 29, stunned the sporting world when she suddenly retired from tennis two months later at the top of the game. She has kept a low profile since, getting married to golfer Garry Kissick and welcoming the second of her two children last week, a daughter called Jordan. Now, though, after three years out of the public spotlight, Barty made a shock comeback.

That came just two years after she returned to tennis' majors following a two-year absence from the biggest tournaments as she took a break from the sport - and even played semi-pro cricket. Since hanging up her racquet for good, the Queensland queen has even played in pro golf tournaments as well as having her two children. Barty was a pundit for the BBC at Wimbledon last year and proved a popular addition - but the timing of Jordan's recent arrival may rule her out of 2025's tournament. 7 Barty retired from tennis three years ago Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia 7 In the commercial she buys a fixer-upper house Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia 7 The tradies arrive in their new Kia Tasman trucks Credit: YouTube/Kia Australia
