In 2023, they joined enterprise AI startup Cohere.
Convergences Proxy AI agent has been developed for both employees and consumers.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
For employees, it can automate administrative and repetitive tasks and workflows to save time and increase productivity.
For consumers, it can assist with everyday activities, such as booking trips or ordering groceries.
This allows them to capture new information live and adapt and keep learning during inference.
To enable this result, Convergences AI technology is built on Large Meta Learning Models (LMLMs).
Convergence is launching its Proxy agent in beta today, with a limited number of spots available.
As of today, the company is also coming out of stealth mode.
With the fresh capital, the startup will develop new models to power its Proxy assistants.
London-based VC firmBalderton Capitalled the funding round with participation from Salesforce Ventures and Shopify Ventures.
