Our take
AI training and data preparation have an accessibility problem, which is why KNIME has created a workflow platform that aids in building analyses for AI models. Using no-code technology, KNIME helps to upskill across various disciplines in an organisation by sharing insights from AI models across all wings of a business.
Effectively, KNIME makes AI monitoring and insights easy to use for the layperson, and this makes it a great foundational tool for building data applications and knowledge bases. What was once an exclusive endeavour has its boundaries opened up, helping more people engage with and learn how to use AI models across social media, finance and retail markets.
A 2024 growth equity investment from INVUS will be channelled into reaching new markets with its cloud analytics platform. Interestingly, though there was interest from other VCs, the company says it chose this partnership because it would not change the company's focus or open source philosophy.
