Our take
Kindo is making AI safer for adoption by enterprises. In the past, third parties would have to aggregate cloud apps and centralise control of AI on behalf of a company wishing to use the software, wasting time and leading to potential security breaches. Through Kindo, customers can customise and centralise control of AI software themselves.
Kindo’s solution is an API that gives enterprises the freedom to manage AI across their entire workforces, while keeping the software centralised and compliant with regulations. Kindo claims that all AI models are supported on its platform, and deploys enterprise-level security in-house and in the cloud.
With a surge in companies using AI, Kindo’s product offers a new level of agency for companies hesitant to let third-party software into its systems. It's unsurprising that investors have been attracted to Kindo, whose most recent funding round will be used to enhance its systems and further embark upon R&D for its product..
