Headquartered in San Francisco, Brain Co. provides an AI platform and tools tailored for large organizations and governments. Elad Gil explained that the company aims to change how AI is implemented and expanded in major institutions. He added that Brain Co. brings together top talent, fast execution, and wide distribution, positioning it to become one of the top AI companies of its time.
Brain Co. has already worked with ten Global 2000 clients, including a strategic partnership with OpenAI. The company has tackled important issues like automating construction permit processes, optimizing energy use in factories, improving patient care in hospitals, and handling complex customer service in hospitality and retail. These efforts have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in value across healthcare, energy, retail, government, and hospitality sectors.
With this investment, Brain Co. plans to change how businesses and governments use technology. Traditional software approaches often fall behind the fast pace of AI progress. Brain Co.’s platform automatically updates its applications as new AI capabilities are developed, letting clients enjoy immediate improvements without having to rebuild their systems from scratch. Clemens Mewald, CEO of Brain Co. and a former product leader at Instabase, Databricks, and Google Brain, explained that most organizations deal with AI tools that become outdated right after they’re deployed. He said that Brain Co. is breaking new ground both in how software is developed and how it’s delivered, helping clients get faster value from AI and continuously benefit from the latest advancements.
