Unanimous AI

What Unanimous AI does

Unanimous AI is a San Francisco-based AI company founded in 2014 by Dr. Louis Rosenberg that has pioneered Swarm AI and Hyperchat AI technologies modeled on biological Swarm Intelligence principles to amplify the collective intelligence of human groups. The company's core product portfolio centers on Thinkscape, a cloud-based collaboration platform that enables groups of up to 250 participants to hold real-time text, voice, or video conversations with AI-mediated deliberation and behavioral analysis, supported by Swarm (legacy SaaS), Swarm Insight (full-service market research), Swarm Analytics (visualization), Hyperchat AI (engine and API), and supporting technologies including AgentSwarm, HyperSwarm, and ThinkBot. Technology is protected by 39 issued US and UK patents and validated by over 25 peer-reviewed academic studies from institutions including Stanford, Oxford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Cal Poly. The company generates revenue through a hybrid GTM model: self-serve SaaS subscriptions at $10-$25 per user per month for business teams and $325-$1,525 per month for market researchers, complemented by enterprise field sales, professional services (participant recruiting, session moderation, custom methodology), and API/SDK licensing for third-party integration. Customers span Fortune 500 enterprises (Boeing, Deloitte, Credit Suisse, WPP, CNN, Constellation Brands, Frito-Lay), U.S. federal agencies (U.S. Air Force, Department of Energy, United Nations), and academic institutions (Stanford, Harvard, Oxford, UCSF, Miami Heat), with the U.S. Air Force relationship representing the most strategically significant anchor through a series of sequential contracts culminating in Hyperchat AI embedding into Microsoft Teams.
