Super excited to close a seed round in this environment for @RyghtAI. We have created an AI digital twin of every clinical trial site in the world and changing the game for sponsors and CROs needing the best sites for their trial fast. We also automate documents and research.

Imagine being Sundar Pichai now: - you had the largest continually updated data set of any company to train AI on (the Google Index) - you invented the underlying technology of LLMs like ChatGPT in 2017 called Transfomers - you had complete search dominance: all you had to add

The #1 driver of new customers for @RyghtAI is abstraction of complexity so that #ai builders can focus on solving the problem, not managing complexity & timing of the back end. We abstract prompt chaining, picking LLMs, routing to APIs, RAG, embedding so AI @ scale just works.

Use cases in genAI fall into 2 buckets. 1) CROs & biopharma companies looking to remove friction, create the first version of that document, or ask questions of huge data. Then there are the builders. All they want are APIs w/out the worry of plumbing & orchestration @RyghtAI #AI
