🔦 The AI Hot 100 Spotlight: Emergence AI, an AI Hot 100 startup and speaker at The AI Hot 100 Summit
Emergence AI (raised $100M), founded by former IBM veterans, is building some of the most futuristic tech out there: agents that create agents with minimal human supervision.
Their AI agent creation platform lets the human user specify what work they are trying to accomplish via text prompts, and then turns it over to AI models to create the agents they believe are necessary to accomplish that work.
This new system is literally a no code, natural language, AI-powered multi-agent builder, and it works in real time.
Emergence AI describes it as a milestone in recursive intelligence, aiming to simplify and accelerate complex data workflows for enterprise users. “Recursive intelligence paves the path for agents to create agents,” said Satya Nitta, co-founder and CEO of Emergence AI.
According to Nitta, the orchestrator’s architecture enables entirely new levels of autonomy in enterprise automation. “Our orchestrator stitches multiple agents together autonomously to create multi-agent systems without human coding. If it doesn’t have an agent for a task, it will auto-generate one and even self-play to learn related tasks by creating new agents itself,” he explained.
We look forward to hearing more about their approach at the Summit.
