About Cerebri AI

Cerebri AI CVX platform uses the best Artificial Intelligence ( AI ), Operation Research ( OR ), and software to provide what is required in our digital age: value a customer's commitment to a brand and related products. It then uses these insights to then drive the selling of product and services. We use AI to answer the fundamental questions of the digital age: Who talks to the customer? Who understands the customer? How do we do this at scale when we have millions of customers?

Cerebri AI CVX platform includes a streaming capable AI software pipeline that processes data intake thru to producing insights and actions & presenting them via our APIs, in our customers' systems, or our UX. One customer journey ( CJ ) per customer means all models targeting CX and revenue KPIs and related next best offers ( NBOs ) use the same journeys.

We work with companies selling to over 200 million consumers and have 26 patents filed ( 8 granted ) on the Cerebri CVX platform. We now have 35 employees in three offices in Austin, Toronto, and Washington DC ( well around three offices ). Over 80% of the staff are in technical roles in data science and software engineering.

How do we do this? We hire the best data scientists, mathematicians, and software developers and work as a cross-disciplinary team/gang/clan. We work hard, laugh hard, and impress our peers and clients. Because we can. And because we want to. To learn more, visit cerebriai.com.

About Cerebri AI

Cerebri AI provides AI and machine learning solutions to help enterprises grow top line revenues by giving them a 1:1 relationship with their customers. We do this by processing internal and external customer data, and by determining the dollar value a customer places on the “value” of a vendor, products, assets, etc. We also monetize a critical variable in any revenue situation, the customer’s ability to pay, so things such as up-selling opportunities can be clearly scoped and delivered. We call the results Customer Value Indexes (CVIs) for brands, vendors, assets and financing.
