Adept AI

What Adept AI does

Adept AI Labs Inc. (founded April 2022 in San Francisco) is a private machine-learning company that develops agentic AI systems for enterprise workflow automation. Its platform combines proprietary multimodal foundation models — including the Fuyu architecture (a vanilla decoder-only transformer with no specialized image encoder and sub-100ms inference) and action transformers (ACT-1, ACT-2) — with a custom DSL actuation layer called the Adept Workflow Language (AWL) that allows AI agents to interact with websites and software applications through UI automation, eliminating the need for API integrations. The company claims trillions of tokens of proprietary training data specific to web UIs and real software usage, and reports benchmark scores that exceed GPT-4 on agent planning (88 vs. 59).

The company sells to enterprise customers through direct sales and a selective partnership/licensing model. It targets enterprise knowledge workers across financial services, healthcare operations, and supply-chain organizations, with stated use cases spanning contract/PDF extraction, license-application processing, and multi-site shipping checks. Adept reports '>95% reliability' in mission-critical production workflows with enterprise beta customers. Its go-to-market combines enterprise subscription contracts, a self-serve early-access platform (Adept Experiments), and OEM-style licensing of agent technology and models — exemplified by the June 2024 agreement with Amazon, in which co-founders (including David Luan) joined Amazon's AGI organization while Amazon licensed Adept's agent technology, multimodal models, and datasets. Pricing is quote-based with annual billing; no public tiers are disclosed. As of 2024 the company employs 51-100 people, is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant (audited by Marcum LLP), and is venture-backed having raised approximately $415 million in aggregate funding (a $65M seed in April 2022 and a $350M Series B in March 2023 at a ~$1 billion valuation). Following the June 2024 strategic pivot, Zach Brock serves as CEO.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise Agentic AI Solutions: Focus entirely on solutions enabling agentic AI powered by combination of in-house models, agentic data, web interaction software, and custom infrastructure. Revenue model appears to be enterprise licensing/partnership based.
2. Agent Technology Licensing: Licensing Adept's agent technology, multimodal models, and datasets to partners. Amazon licensing deal in June 2024 exemplifies this model.

Core offering

Adept sells a full-stack agentic AI platform—the Adept Agent Stack—comprising trillions of tokens of proprietary agent training data, a suite of in-house multimodal models (Fuyu family including Fuyu-Heavy), custom actuation software built on a proprietary DSL, and feedback/data collection tools. Enterprise customers license these capabilities to autonomously execute end-to-end, multi-step workflows across websites and software applications through UI-level actions, without requiring API integrations.

Product overview

Adept AI offers an agentic AI platform that enables autonomous workflow automation through natural language commands. The core Adept Agent Stack provides a full-stack approach combining proprietary multimodal models trained on web UIs, custom actuation software using a proprietary DSL, and feedback tools. Key products include: Fuyu-Heavy (proprietary multimodal model for digital agents), ACT-1 (first action transformer for browser automation), Adept Experiments (early access platform with Workflows powered by ACT-2), Adept Workflow Language (custom DSL for composing multimodal interactions), and open-source models Fuyu-8B and Persimmon-8B. The company also holds SOC 2 Type 1 certification. Adept's technology allows AI agents to interact with software through UI automation (clicking, typing) rather than API integrations, enabling interoperability with any software application.
