Eightfold Co-Founders Launch Viven, AI Digital Twin Startup to Revolutionize Team Collaboration
In a significant move to address the issue of delayed project progress due to unavailable coworkers, Ashutosh Garg and Varun Kacholia, co-founders of Eightfold, an AI recruiting startup valued at $2.1 billion, have emerged from stealth mode with their new venture, Viven. According to TechCrunch, Viven has secured $35 million in seed funding to launch its innovative solution that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to create personalized digital twins for each employee.
The problem of delayed project progress due to unavailable coworkers is a costly one, with teams often having to wait for responses from colleagues who are on vacation or in different time zones. Viven's AI-powered digital twin technology aims to solve this issue by providing instant access to crucial information and shared knowledge, even when team members are not available.
According to the company's mission statement, Viven seeks to "grant employees access to crucial information from teammates even when those colleagues are unavailable." This is achieved through the creation of personalized digital twins for each employee, which can be queried by colleagues to access vital information. The use of LLMs and data privacy technologies enables Viven to provide a secure and reliable solution.
The $35 million seed funding secured by Viven will enable the company to further develop its technology and expand its team. This significant investment is a testament to the potential of Viven's innovative solution, which has the potential to revolutionize team collaboration and productivity.
In an interview with TechCrunch, Ashutosh Garg, co-founder of Eightfold and Viven, stated, "We believe that advances in LLMs and data privacy technologies can help solve some aspects of this costly problem. With Viven, we aim to provide a solution that enables teams to work more efficiently and effectively, even when team members are not available."
