Arrakis Technologies (@arrakistech) comes out of stealth with $38M in funding from leading investors including @blossomcap and @Accel. Sovereign AI deployment in the physical economy is one of the most important missions anyone could work on. Western reshoring and economic prosperity rest in the balance. That's why we're building Arrakis. We are an AI deployment company that partners with ambitious enterprises to transform their operations into software. We encode operational know-how into agents that execute complex processes semi-autonomously and learn under human supervision. Six months in, here's where we are: 1. Partnered with the most mission-driven team I could have asked for. My co-founders Haroun Beltaifa, @Romain_Fd and @MichaelGalkov, and a founding team from Palantir, Revolut, ElevenLabs, Datadog, DeliveryHero, ASML, KKR and Blackstone. We are now forward deployed at the edge across the US, Europe and APAC, encoding and redesigning industrial processes from first principles. 2.⁠ Signed NYSE-listed customers after our agents delivered significant P&L improvements through 60-90% cycle time compression at 99%+ accuracy on complex workflows. These companies now experience the future of self-driving industrial operations, where work no longer waits for constant input but moves forward proactively with humans overseeing every critical decision. In weeks, their most skeptical operators became our most vocal champions, and direct CEO referrals are now our main source of growth. 3. Raised $38M from @blossomcap, @Accel, @Global_Founders, @mainobjectvc, and leading angels including @oliviergodement, Head of Business Products @OpenAI, Junaid Hussain, founder @Cambridge_Aero, @oliveur, founder @datadoghq and more. The future of industrial AI is Arrakis Technologies.

Replying to @Meta
@Meta is trying to catch up on AI… and they have a lot of work to do if their AI support is a reflection of the capabilities of their models! There is a deep linking issue with @oakley Meta Vanguard glasses app and @Garmin connect and @Strava .

I respond to say the ticket is not closed. At this point, the AI realises that the optimisation function is in danger and understands now that it needs to think harder and do something big to win the situation. It turns on the empathic function and I get a "solemn apology" (woow...😂) and a statement on the scope of the support: "Meta Store Support is primarily equipped to handle core device functions" (sorry Garmin and Strava, you are not a core function not sure why you were heavily featured in the marketing messages!). Finally it offers to return and fully return the glasses. Ticket closed 🦾 🦾 🦾

=> deflection rate +++ No human intervention => customer sat: --- very unhappy customer => business impact: --- low support cost...but loss of a few hundreds of USD of margin. Right for the business 🤔 🤔 🤔 Umm...may be the optimisation function of the AI model should be handled differently. If anyone more technically savvy than Meta AI support has managed to solve this issue, I am interested! Thank you!
