DeepSky

What DeepSky does

DeepSky (formerly Gradient) was a San Francisco-based AI research platform founded in 2024 by former investment banker Christopher Chang. The company developed multi-agent AI orchestration technology in which teams of specialized AI agents operate in parallel under a central coordinator that maintains full visibility across the execution chain — from planning through results. DeepSky offered a subscription product called DeepSky Pro (valued at approximately $240 per year) and extended its technology into Hyperagent, an AI agent platform featuring pre-built vertical agent roles such as Chief of Staff, Recruiter, Sales Prospector, and Data Analyst.

The company's go-to-market centered on the MBA Strategist Program, a community-led distribution channel that offered business school students 12 months of free DeepSky Pro, $1,000 in AI usage credits, mentorship opportunities, and referral bonuses of up to $1,000. Approximately 300 MBAs adopted the platform through this program, which DeepSky positioned as an educational tool rather than an academic shortcut. The company self-reported a global operating footprint, with primary activity in the United States. No enterprise customer logos, funding rounds, or revenue figures were publicly disclosed during its independent operation.

In October 2025, DeepSky was acquired by Airtable, and its multi-agent AI technology became the architectural foundation for Airtable's Superagent standalone multi-agent AI product, launched in January 2026. Following the acquisition, DeepSky ceased to operate as an independent entity.
