Unlikely AI was founded in 2018 by William Tunstall-Pedoe and is based in London. Tunstall-Pedoe is known for his role in the development of Amazon Alexa when his first company, Evi Technologies, which developed voice assistant technology with language understanding and question-answer capability, was acquired by Amazon and used in part to launch Alexa.

Unlikely AI's first example of their AI technology came in the Crossword Genius app. The app is an AI app containing Unlikely AI's Ross AI, which can solve and explain difficult and cryptic crossword clues. To do this, the app uses machine vision to read crosswords found in newspapers using a device's camera, and the solving of the clue is done on the device.
