As businesses look at how they can best use artificial intelligence to improve the productivity of their employees, search is an obvious use case. In most companies, after all, data lives in several disconnected silos, and the combination of large language models, search augmented generation (RAG), and enterprise-grade integration services now makes it easier than ever to not only enable search, but to build tools. answer more complex questions about all this information. Not surprisingly, there are several startups and incumbents (think Atlassian’s Bramblefor example), are competing for this market. It is one of the newest arrivals AI skillsA Tel Aviv-based startup announced today a $7 million round of seed funding.
Doti AI integrates data services like Confluence, Datadog, Gitlab, Jira, Monday, Notion, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk, and others, and then makes that data available on demand, for example through a chat experience in Slack, as well as through what Doti calls “AutoPilot.” .’ AutoPilot proactively monitors Slack channels and when it comes across a question it can answer, it will respond directly in that channel.
This is Doti co-founders Cohen’s eye (CEO) and Opher Hofshi (CPO) told me how Doti quickly reached critical mass within the company, as employees moved away from seeing Doti in various Slack channels and then started 1:1 conversations with the service.
The two co-founders first met at Wix, when Cohen worked on the service’s infrastructure and Hofshi led the team of security architects. “When we left Wix (in 2023), we didn’t know what we were going to do,” Hofshi told me. “Our initial idea was to do what we’ve been doing in one of our areas – the last few years. For me, it was about cyber security, and for Matan, it was about infrastructure.”
During the brainstorming process, they realized that enterprise sourcing was still an unsolved problem. “The problem that Dottie solves is something we feel at Wix,” Cohen said. And solving that, the founders argue, requires expertise in building integrations as well as a strong focus on security.
“What we believe is that every person, every group, every process, every company should have some kind of AI in their veins – or in their processes – and it’s not a matter of when or how fast. companies will adapt,” said Cohen.
The team claims that while other companies offer similar features at first glance, its approach offers a bit more flexibility. This is because Doti, for example, was built from the ground up to enable businesses to bring their own large language models to the service while helping them define their own security policies. “We know how to deliver a great solution for businesses, and we’re as flexible as they want,” Cohen said. “Want to bring your own LLM? go for it. Want to bring your own cloud? We can do it. Do you want to do AWS, do you want to do Azure, do you want to do GCP? Go for it and it’s at the infra level and it’s a deal breaker for organizations.
The company’s $7 million round was led by F2 Venture Capital and included a number of angel investors, including Jared Kasner, general partner at Ineffable Ventures, and Guy Flexter, CEO of Sola Security.
