Inflection AI recently acquired three AI-focused startups to build its enterprise platform
Inflection has acquired three enterprise AI startups to enhance its enterprise platform's capabilities in automation, data analysis, and communication while shifting its strategy to focus exclusively on enterprise products and moving away from competing in the foundation model market.
Since announcing message limits for its AI-powered personal assistant Pi in August and its Inflection for Enterprise product in October, Inflection has acquired three enterprise AI startups with the clear intent to strengthen its enterprise-grade product. The first acquisition was announced in parallel with Inflection's launch of Agentic Workflows.
Powered by UiPath, Agentic Workflows let users set automations, or predetermined tasks, that leverage UiPath's 1,400+ integrations to connect Inflection for Enterprise to the client's systems and data sources. Thus, it only made sense that Inflection paired announcing this feature and the acquisition of Boundaryless, an automation consulting firm based in Europe with significant experience deploying automation technologies, like UiPath, for customers including Fortune 500 companies.
On Tuesday, Inflection announced it has acquired two more startups, BoostKPI and Jelled.ai, to strengthen two key aspects in its enterprise platform: data and communications. BoostKPI's AI-powered data analyst will be integrated into Inflection for Enterprise, enabling users to easily find a wide range of data using natural language queries. Jelled.ai's digital twins for email inbox management technology will also be integrated to help users identify trends and relevant topics across emails and Slack conversations, filter out emails not requiring replies from the inbox, and draft contextually aware email messages.
In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Inflection CEO Sean White confirmed that, in addition to giving its full focus to the Inflection for Enterprise product, the startup will no longer develop foundation models aiming to compete with the leading names in that sector. Instead, Inflection will continue to power its products using its proprietary models, but will remain open to using third-party models if needed.
