AI Coaching Networks

The future of software is driven by human brilliance, with AI in the back seat. We believe that defensible AI businesses will be those geared towards augmenting and assisting humans, rather than replacing them.

The Future of Coaching Networks is Here

Artificial intelligence will play a critical role in solving business problems

We don’t view AI as a threat that replaces us, but as an asset that helps us unlock our full potential as people. Thus we developed our thesis on what we call AI Coaching Networks. The technology behind AI Coaching Networks answers the question: How can we make information that other people have mastered accessible to you in your time of need?

The key ingredient in these networks is software that gathers actions from a distributed network of users and identifies the best techniques for getting a particular job done. As AI technology continues to advance, we're excited about opportunities that pair AI with human intelligence and brilliance to improve business outcomes.

We saw a company like Veeva that had a social mission behind it [similar to us]. In Emergence, we saw an organization who understood [us], focused on the values that we're trying to go after. Emergence was a slam dunk choice for us.
