Our Mission

The promise of the AI Revolution is to tackle numerous, intractable problems across business, healthcare, science, education, government, transportation, and logistics to name just a few. But so far, the benefits have been seen only by the few organizations with the resources to support data-science and machine learning teams.

Akkio makes it so that everyone has access to the same state-of-the-art AI capabilities, formerly only available to the largest corporations and most well funded research groups.

We do this because we believe that AI is the future, and the future belongs to everyone.
