Brain is an AI and interface company founded in 2015. Brain's AI organizes the world's software and makes it human-centric and natural to use. The company invents new technologies, design metaphors and developer platforms that allow computers to become an extension of our minds.
In 2016, Brain pioneered one-shot learning NLP in the industry, which has become a fundamental technology in many of the widely used language models today. Building on this innovation, Brain invented the world's first consumer generative interface, Natural AI, in 2020.
In 2024, Brain.ai will be unveiling a revolutionary app-less smart phone at Mobile World Congress with one of the world's leading mobile network operators. Stay tuned to learn more within the next few days. To set up a demo and learn more, visit here.
WHO ARE WE?
At Brain.ai, we build computers that think. We invent new technologies and design metaphors that allow computers to become an extension of our minds instead of simply our hands. As we transition from the information age to the intelligence age, we bridge the existing world of software with emerging general intelligence in a natural and humane way.
As pioneers of the few-shot learning approach to NLP in 2016, we stand at the intersection of advancing the latest technology and design. Our investors include Laurene Powell Jobs, Goodwater Capital, Scott Cook and WTT Investment.
Natural AI
Natural AI, our first consumer product, is the world's first generative interface. You no longer go to Apps, Apps come to you. Simply say what you need and the right app forms itself around your words - now fulfilling millions of requests each month.
Natural clears away the clutter on your screen. It allows you to focus on what you want, not how to get there.
If you are extremely curious, and won't settle for a tech company that makes incremental improvements. You want your work to be remembered, to add up to something big. You want to do work that keeps you up at night from excitement. You want your life to be filled with 'insane moments of realization.'
