Distyl AI, founded by Palantir veterans Arjun Prakash and Derek Ho, has announced a Services Alliance with OpenAI and has closed $7 million in a seed round led by Coatue and Dell Technologies Capital.
The round saw participation from industry leaders such as Nat Friedman (former GitHub CEO), Brad Gerstner (Altimeter Founder, CEO), and Dr. Jim Cash (HBS Professor).
Distyl AI brings generative AI solutions to enterprises by simplifying the process of customizing the AI to fit the unique data landscape, addressing technical expertise, and ensuring reliability and compliance with operational requirements, which can require substantial effort and resources.
“Organizations that embrace the immense potential of generative AI and large language models will gain a disruptive competitive edge. This realization is sweeping across C-suites and boardrooms across the globe – and for good reason,” Arjun Prakash, Co-founder and CEO of Distyl AI, said in a statement. “While the hype around Generative AI has been about consumer and search applications, the game-changing value is in elevating core enterprise workflows. That will require seamless integration with an enterprise’s core data, technologies, and workflows.”
According to a press release, Distyl AI works closely with F1000 enterprises to create tangible business outcomes with generative AI technology. Besides offering its proprietary platform of in-house tools, the company’s alliance with OpenAI aims to bring enterprise customers the latest in cutting-edge AI research (e.g., GPT-4) and infrastructure (e.g., dedicated instances).
The Distyl AI team comprises an experienced group of technologists and operators from prominent organizations like Palantir, Apple, BlackRock, Citadel, and Snorkel AI, who has helped apply AI to business challenges.
“We are excited to collaborate with the exceptional team at Distyl AI,” said Brad Lightcap, COO of OpenAI. “Their vision and technical expertise will empower enterprises to integrate OpenAI technologies and unlock new potential for their customers.”
