Ema, a California-based developer pioneering next-generation AI solutions for enterprises, has secured $25 million in seed plus funding, marking a significant milestone for the emerging tech firm. The investment, led by Prosus Ventures and Accel, underscores growing confidence in Ema’s vision to reshape workplace dynamics with its innovative approach to artificial intelligence.

Founded in 2023 by Surojit Chatterjee, Souvik Sen, and Swati Trehan, Ema has swiftly emerged from stealth mode, unveiling its flagship product, the Universal AI Employee. This groundbreaking solution aims to revolutionize how businesses operate by automating mundane tasks and empowering employees to focus on higher-value strategic initiatives.

“Our goal is to build a universal AI employee,” explains Surojit Chatterjee, CEO and co-founder of Ema. “Our goal is to automate the mundane tasks that employees do on a day-to-day basis in every enterprise, freeing them up to do more valuable and strategic work.”

With a focus on enhancing productivity and streamlining operations, Ema’s Universal AI Employee integrates seamlessly with popular enterprise applications such as Zendesk, OneDrive, Google Drive, Teams, Slack, and Emails. By emulating human capabilities, including engaging in conversations, comprehending context, receiving continuous feedback, reasoning, and making informed decisions, Ema aims to augment the workforce rather than replace it.

“The outstanding team driving Ema’s innovation is led by a visionary founder, who I’ve known for nearly a decade. We’re excited to back this team in their pursuit of innovation,” says Subrata Mitra, Partner at Accel.

Ema’s technology represents a new frontier in the GenAI space, offering the flexibility of a horizontal platform while delivering the high value of vertical applications. The company’s generative workflow engine powers its AI employees, known as ‘personas,’ enabling them to create new workflows based on conversational descriptions and continuously improve their performance.

To address challenges such as hallucinations, Ema has developed a proprietary ‘fusion of experts’ model named EmaFusionTM, which combines over 30 public language models, including GPT-4, GPT-3.5-turbo, Claude 2.1, Gemini, Mistral-S, and Llama2, exceeding an impressive 2 trillion parameters.

Envoy Global, TrueLayer, and Moneyview are among the enterprises that have embraced Ema’s personas, recognizing the potential to drive efficiency and innovation within their organizations. As businesses increasingly embrace AI-driven solutions, Ema’s emergence from stealth with substantial funding signals a significant step forward in the evolution of workplace technology.

“We are just starting on a journey that will change how humans and synthetic intelligence interact to build a more collaborative and fulfilling workplace,” adds Surojit Chatterjee, emphasizing Ema’s commitment to transforming enterprises through AI innovation.
