In this episode, Robert Loft and Haley Hanson explore Inflection AI’s pivot from developing cutting-edge AI models to focusing on enterprise solutions. Formerly a rising star in the AI race, Inflection has shifted gears following Microsoft’s partial acquisition and a $650M team hire.

We dive into:

The company’s acquisition spree, including Jelled.AI and BoostKPI, to enhance enterprise offerings.
