As businesses look at how they can better use AI to increase their employees’ productivity, search is an obvious case of use. In most companies, eventually, the data live in multiple disconnected silos and the combination of large linguistic models, the extended generation (RAG) and the integration services of the business make it easier than ever to allow the search but also to create tools that may Answer more complex questions about all this data. It is not surprising that there are several newly established businesses and established entities (think for example Atlassian’s Rovo) for this market. One of the younger participants is Doti aiA Tel Aviv -based start, which today announced a $ 7 million seed funding round.
Doti AI incorporates data from services Like Confluence, Datadog, Gitlab, Jira, Monday, Concept, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk and others and then makes this data available upon request through a conversation experience in Slack, for example And through what Doti calls “of” “automatic pilot. “Autopilot is watching the loose channels preventively and when he meets a question he can answer. He will respond directly to this channel.
This, co -founders of Doti Cohen (Managing Director) and OPER Hofshi (CPO) told me, it is also how Doti quickly reaches a critical mass within a company, as employees go from seeing Doti on the various Slack channels and then start 1 : 1 talks with the service as well.
The two co -founders met for the first time in Wix, when Cohen worked on the service infrastructure and Hofshi drove a group of security architects. ‘When we left the wix [in 2023]I didn’t really know what to do, “Hofshi told me.” Our original thought came into one of our areas – doing what we have done for the last two years. For me, it was cyber security, and for Matan, it was for the infrastructure. ”
During the ideation process, they realized that business search remains an unsolved problem. “The problem resolving Doti is something we felt in Wix,” Cohen said. And its resolution, the founders argue, is aware of the construction of unification, but also on the strong emphasis on security.
“What we believe is that every person, every group, every process, every company should have some kind of AI in their veins – or their procedures – and it is not a matter if, it is a question of when and how fast the companies adapt” , said Cohen.
The team argues that although other companies can offer similar features at first glance, its approach offers much more flexibility. This is due to the fact that Doti was built from the ground to, for example, to allow businesses to bring their own large linguistic models to the service, all helping them to put their own security policies. “We know how to bring a very good solution for businesses and we are as flexible as they want,” Cohen said. ‘Do you want to bring your own llm? Go for it. Do you want to bring your own cloud? We can do this. Do you want to do AWS, you want to do azure, you want to make GCP? Go for it, and this is at the level of supernatural, and this is a deal switch for organizations. ”
The $ 7 million seed tour of the company was driven by the F2 Venture Capital, with the participation of many angel investors, such as Jared Kasner, a general associate in inevitable businesses and Guy Flechter, Sola Security’s chief executive.
