Our take
The applications of AI and machine learning are undeniable and vast. However, much of its existing infrastructure was built to support large and lengthy jobs, opposed to the real-time decisions required for the technology to be useful to sectors such as fintech, eCommerce, healthcare and insurance.
This is where Chalk steps in, supplying backbone infrastructure to support real-time AI and ML applications. Its data platform includes features such as a compute engine, an LLM toolchain and integrated monitoring - with applications including anti-fraud, risk assessment and predictive maintenance. Importantly, any data source can be integrated with the platform, meaning the real-time decisions can be made with real-time data.
Its certainly an intriguing proposal, and one that has seen the company net $10 million in seed funding. This investment will be used to accelerate development of the platform, as well as reach new customers and grow Chalk's engineering and go-to-market teams.
