Our take
On a mission to democratize artificial intelligence, WebAI has built a decentralised development platform that minimises the amount of data required to build AI models. This directly challenges the assumption that big data is intrinsic to AI, and enables for local, ownable and customizable models to be made.
The company's unified execution layer helps to streamline the training and deployment of models in a way which is both scalable and flexible. Enterprises can use their existing infrastructure to run powerful models while ensuring their data never leaves their devices. Plus they can tailor each model to their needs with no coding needed.
WebAI believes that off-the-shelf AI models lack the flexibility and control required to be used in real-world tasks, which is what its platform helps to combat. This approach has attracted impressive investment that will be used to grow its development efforts and elevate its mission to democratise AI.
