How do you keep up with all the changes in AI ? That's the question I've been asked most in my bootcamps over the last two years. Well, I can now say it openly - it's a part of the job. Today, @Cyujun and I are launching @parallelloopai and coming out of stealth. Last year I spent a lot of time in rooms with leadership teams working on AI. Most were growth-stage/pre-IPO companies and mid-cap enterprises. Every one of them had access to the best models in the world. Almost none had AI doing real work inside the business. Though the tools can always improve, the things that make a company work, like how decisions get made, what the rules actually are and who knows what, live in meetings, email, teams and people's heads. They aren't in the systems. Yujun and I learned that the hard way building FairDee and then scaling Qoala across five countries. Intelligence has become abundant. What most companies are missing is the context, the systems and the capability to turn it into real outcomes. That's the gap we're building Parallel Loop to close. We work inside our clients' own environment, with their teams, and we ship production grade deterministic evolving workflows running in loops, in parallel. Thank you to @3one4Capital , @picuscap, @FlourishVC, @kunalb11, @waiting4_asi, @vijayshekhar and @philipyeo for backing us from the start.
