NuMind

match 80

NuMind is a tool for data scientists, data analysts, but also software engineers to create custom NLP models. For example, a recruiting company uses NuMind to find which job offers best match a given resume. Etienne (CEO) was head of Machine Learning at Wolfram Research, and Samuel (CTO) co-founded Make.org (8M users). NuMind originated from our own frustration when developing NLP models. Leveraging large language models similar to GPT-3, NuMind allows to complete NLP projects at least 10x faste

Arzana trains custom models on a factory's historical data and use them to deploy agents that automate their quoting, order entry, invoicing, and other repetitive office work. We've saved our customers over $1M in avoided staff costs. In the future, we'll expand into shop-floor automation, sending instructions to machinery and robots to produce the orders that our office agents processed. By 2035, we aim to fully automate 10,000 American factories.
