Isotopia AI He got out of Stealth on Thursday with a healthy round of $ 20 million.
It offers an AI agent to solve a problem that has been struggling for decades the data analysis products: people who know how to run the big data infrastructure are not the ones who really need to use the data.
With LLMS, business managers can ask questions about their natural language data. The isotopes agent, Aidnn, can provide answers and design complex design documents, gather data wherever they are stored, such as funding applications, ERP, CRM and Cloud Storage.
There are countless offers of agentic businesses out there, but isotope co -founders have a unique genealogical. Their product is so sophisticated, the start has already applied for 10 patents, co -founder CEO Arun Murty told TechCrunch.
More than 20 years ago, when Murty was in the mid -1920s, he worked at Yahoo in the team that created an open source project called Hadoop. Hadoop prompted 2010 database.
In 2011, Yahoo revolves in a company called Hortonworks, with Murty as a co -founder and product head. Just four years after the launch, Hortonworks became public. But the rise of the new cloud storage technology took its tax on the Hadoop market and Hortonworks finally merged with its biggest opponent, Cloudera. The merged company was received private in 2021, after the famous activist Carl Icahn participated.
Murty went to Cloudera for a few years during this turmoil, managing about 200 people. However, he says, even there he saw the old data access problem. He remembers quarterly conference calls with Wall Street analysts, the execution of operating details.

They could not always answer because they did not have access to the data. “It was annoying,” he admits now. “We were a large data company selling this.”
In 2021, he left this job without a real plan for what to do next, and a VC introduced him to AI’s Alexandr Wang scale. After a few talks with Wang and a piece of work counseling, Murty joined the scale as head of technology.
It was like “getting a doctorate on a scale,” he describes. “Understanding what drives these models and how to improve them.”
But when his old friend from Hortonworks, Prasanth Jayachandra, called him, the two decided to make their own start AI. They convinced their third minister, Gopal Vijayaraghavan, also from Hortonworks’ days, to unite them and were established in late 2024. Their seed tour was led by Vab Goel to NTTVC. (Goel was in the past at Norwest Ventures.)
The founders’ backgrounds allowed them to build an agent who can find data from wherever they are stored (whether it is salesforce or snowflake), but also clean the data. The agent also maintains enough environmental memory to be useful for complex tasks.
“This is far beyond a simple chatbot,” Murty said. For example, if the team asks Aidnn to write a report on monthly repetitive revenue trends, “the data you want to talk about is not there, at least the form in which you have to chat.
The agent also shows the steps, reasoning, assumptions and data abnormalities. It will even make recommendations on how to move on. Isotopes also promise that business customers can develop without sharing any of their data to AI model manufacturers supplying the agent.
Still, as sophisticated as isotopes they may be, starting is a lot of competition. The established bodies such as SalesForce’s tableau They are already offering to agents (amid SalesForce’s important AI Agent Push) and many other start -up founders with striking genealogy are also on the market, such as Wisdomai.
