AI platforms deployed by their own engineers
Type of firm: Platform with embedded engineers. 78 AI deployment firms, in 25 countries, with $3.6 billion raised. An AI deployment firm helps other organisations put AI to work: it advises on AI, builds AI systems on the client's own data and tools and often keeps them running. AI is the firm's main business, not one practice inside a large consultancy or IT outsourcer. The work is shaped around each client rather than sold as a software licence.
