Adept AI

Adept AI is building AI agents that can take actions in software applications, going beyond conversation to actually perform work in enterprise tools like spreadsheets, CRMs, and databases. The company's vision is to create AI teammates that understand user intent and execute multi-step workflows across any software interface.

Adept's technology uses multimodal AI models that can see and interact with software interfaces, understanding UI elements and taking actions like a human user would. This approach allows the AI to work with any application — even legacy software without APIs — by directly manipulating the graphical interface.

Founded by former Google Brain and Transformer architecture researchers, Adept raised over $400 million in funding. While parts of the team were later hired by Amazon, Adept's work has been influential in advancing the field of AI agents that can autonomously navigate and operate software tools.
