Our take

The need for AI in industries like manufacturing and healthcare is growing, with businesses increasingly relying on visual data from images and videos. However, many struggle with how to leverage this unstructured data for better decision-making and efficiency.

Landing AI has stepped in to solve this problem with LandingLens, a platform that helps companies create, train, and deploy computer vision models. It streamlines the process and keeps data secure, allowing businesses to apply AI technology more easily.

While LandingLens is a recent launch, the company has been making waves since its launch due to the reputation of founder Andrew Ng, who is considered one of the AI ecosystem's leading figures. This, along with a number of recent achievements position Landing AI for further growth and innovation in AI-driven visual technology.
