Boaz Hecht, co-founder and CEO of 8Flow, explained the company's role:

"Each enterprise has its own set of business applications -- hundreds or thousands. Something needs to map it all and give the AI the context so it can run workflows across them." 1

Bridging AI Potential with Enterprise Context

8flow positions itself as a crucial link between AI action providers like OpenAI or AWS and enterprise systems. Hecht emphasized:

"We're not trying to build the AI actions themselves. The big players -- OpenAI, AWS, etc. -- will do that. We're building the intelligence behind it that tells the AI what to do and why." 1
