Addressing the Enterprise AI Challenge

The funding comes as enterprises struggle with a fundamental question in their AI adoption efforts: determining where automation will actually yield returns rather than becoming another sunk cost. Co-founder and CEO Jennifer Smith explained that most companies cannot effectively answer what should be automated first, often relying on time-consuming interviews, workshops, or consultants that miss much of what employees actually do daily 1
