The merged entity will facilitate the creation of personal agents and Large Language Models, offering enhanced personalization capabilities for app owners and developers. They plan to produce AI-driven marketing assistants, or co-pilots, capable of comprehending customer behaviors and optimizing offers, while ensuring data privacy and compliance.
Anagog raised a total of $25 million in venture capital funding, with its most recent round raised back in early 2020 – $10 million Series C. Investors in Anagog include MizMaa Ventures, Sumitomo Corporation and Daimler.
UK-based Intent HQ, founded in 2010 by Jonathan Lakin, similarly provides a privacy-focused AI platform that helps businesses better understand and serve their customers by securely integrating behavioral data, improving predictions, and ensuring data privacy and compliance.
