C3 AI

C3 AI takes a completely different approach to the market than Google or AWS. Instead of selling raw infrastructure or generic model-building tools, C3 sells fully pre-packaged, industry-specific AI applications designed to solve massive, multi-million dollar corporate problems right out of the box. For example, an oil and gas company doesn't want to build a machine learning model; they want to know when a specific oil rig valve is going to break. C3 sells "C3 AI Reliability," an application specifically pre-trained to analyze sensor data from industrial equipment and predict catastrophic failures weeks before they happen, allowing for preventative maintenance. They offer similar pre-built applications for inventory optimization, supply chain risk, and anti-money laundering. The underlying C3 AI Application Platform connects to all of a massive corporation's fragmented data silos (ERP, CRM, SCADA sensors), unifies the data into a single federated model, and applies their proprietary AI algorithms to generate actionable predictions for the C-Suite.
