Bengaluru, 16th October 2024: Gen-AI SaaS start-up Alchemyst AI has raised $300K in a pre-seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures, along with 100Unicorns & Early Seed Ventures.
Alchemyst AI will use the funds to enhance GPU (graphics processing unit) and technology infrastructure, support team development, scale operations, and drive growth.
Founded in 2023 by Uttaran Nayak and Anuran Roy, Alchemyst AI is disrupting AI automation & enterprise productivity developing digital employees that work together to create intelligent functional components for mid-sized to large enterprises.
Uttaran Nayak, Co-Founder & CEO, Alchemyst AI, said, “At Alchemyst AI, we are pioneering the development of fully autonomous gen-AI digital employees which can interact with each other & perform highly intelligent functional components across enterprise teams. We are crafting the future of workforce and spearheading the next industrial revolution. These gen-AI digital employees democratize the entire workforce without human intervention at any stage. Over the past 12 months, we have had a unique vantage point as we have watched the bot/agent/AI digital employee landscape evolve and transform. We also observed that most of the application layer companies are dependent on generic foundational models to carry out automation in the workforce. These dependencies often slow down a company’s scalability and make it defenseless and vulnerable. Alchemyst AI was born to solve these challenges, with a strong technological understanding & non-dependency on any generic LLM models.”
Alchemyst AI features adaptive and continual learning, enabling its digital employees, or “Alchemysts,” to autonomously gather context based on the data provided by users, who control this input to influence performance.
Vikram Ramasubramaniam, Partner, Inflection Point Ventures said, “In this rapidly moving world, businesses face significant challenges in managing team productivity and delivering exceptional customer experiences, with traditional methods work produced may be inefficient, leading to missed opportunities and stagnant growth. Alchemyst AI addresses these pressing issues by harnessing the power of generative AI to develop digital employees that automate routine tasks, allowing teams to focus on high-value activities. Furthermore, it understands that for its solutions to be scalable and effective, it needs robust security. By prioritizing these aspects, Alchemyst AI has positioned itself to revolutionize the way businesses operate, by supporting the future of work.”
To this Dr. Apoorva Ranjan Sharma, Cofounder, 100Unicorns added, At 100unicorn, we strongly believe in the impact of Generative AI in transforming everyday lives.
