AI Takes Center Stage in Enterprise Solutions and Government Applications
A wave of innovation in artificial intelligence is impacting both enterprise solutions and government applications, with new platforms and capabilities emerging across various sectors, according to recent reports. From optimizing cloud spending to streamlining document management and enhancing government operations, AI is rapidly transforming how organizations function.
Several companies emerged from stealth mode this week, showcasing new AI-driven solutions. Factify, a Tel Aviv-based startup, launched with a $73 million seed round, aiming to revolutionize digital documents. Founder and CEO Matan Gavish, a computer science professor and Stanford PhD, stated, "The PDF was developed when I was in elementary school. The bedrock of the software ecosystem hasn't really evolved... someone has to redesign the digital document itself." Factify seeks to move beyond standard formats like .PDF and .docx, bringing digital documents into what they call the "intelligence era," according to VentureBeat.
Adaptive6 also emerged from stealth, focusing on reducing enterprise cloud waste. According to Gartner, public cloud spending is projected to rise 21.3% in 2026, yet Flexera's research indicates that up to 32% of enterprise cloud spending is wasted on duplicated, non-functional, or outdated code. Adaptive6 aims to address this issue, already optimizing cloud usage for companies like Ticketmaster, VentureBeat reported.
Airtable unveiled Superagent, a standalone research agent that deploys teams of specialized AI agents to complete research tasks. According to VentureBeat, Airtable's co-founder Howie Liu emphasized the platform's ability to maintain context throughout the research process, creating a "coherent journey" where the orchestrator makes all decisions.
Meanwhile, Western Sugar is leveraging its early adoption of SAP S4HANA Cloud Public Edition to facilitate its AI transformation. Ten years ago, the company moved to the cloud, a decision that now positions them to take advantage of SAP's expanding business AI capabilities across finance, supply chain, and HR, according to a report by VentureBeat. Richard Caluori, Director of Corporate Controlling at Western Sugar, described their previous on-premise system as "a trainwreck: a heavily customized ERP system so laden with custom ABAP code that it had become unupgradable."
In the public sector, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently released details about Mobile Fortify, a face recognition app used by federal immigration agents. According to Wired, the app is used by both Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to identify individuals in the field, including undocumented immigrants and US citizens. The DHS's 2025 AI Use Case Inventory revealed that Mobile Fortify became operational for CBP at the beginning of May 2025 and for ICE on May 20, 2025. The app is developed by an unnamed company.
