Revolutionise Your Cloud: NeuBird’s AI Startup Breakthrough in Tech

At the helm of AI Startup, NeuBird, founders Goutham Rao and Vinod Jayaraman, alumni from the cloud-native success Portworx, are charting new territories. After selling Portworx to PureStorage in 2019 for $370 million, their journey continued into the burgeoning realm of generative AI, targeting cloud complexities faced by early stage startups.

Recently, this AI startup announced a noteworthy $22 million investment from Mayfield, a robust nod to the founders’ potential to cultivate another game-changing enterprise. This significant early stage support is a testament to the trust in their vision and previous successes.

Rao, the driving force as CEO, remarked on the evolution within the cloud-native community. He told TechCrunch, “The community has excelled over the past decade in developing robust service-oriented architectures. However, this success brought about a new challenge—increased complexity and layers in system design, leading to excessive telemetry data.”

NeuBird, the AI startup at the forefront of this transformation, uses advanced large language models to streamline the analysis of complex data sets, enabling quick diagnostics and efficient problem-solving in IT operations for early stage startups. Rao explained, “Our AI-driven approach can sift through thousands of data points like metrics, alerts, and logs in seconds, identifying system health issues and offering solutions swiftly.”

The startup doesn’t just provide tools, it acts as a digital collaborator alongside SREs and ITOps engineers. By implementing generative AI, NeuBird reduces the time to address and resolve incidents from hours to minutes, supporting the dynamic needs of early stage startups.

Acknowledging the limitations of large language models, including potential inaccuracies, NeuBird ensures high-quality outputs by using a select data set for training its models and incorporating mechanisms for more precise responses. “We cross-verify AI outcomes through a vector database to confirm their validity, ensuring our solutions are reliable before recommending them to users,” Rao emphasised.

Integration is straightforward for clients, who can connect their cloud systems directly to NeuBird. This allows the AI startup to access and analyse essential data without requiring data transfers, simplifying operations for early stage startups. NeuBird leverages various AI models, like Llama 2 for log analysis and Mistral for other analytics, effectively turning natural language queries into structured SQL commands, enhancing data accuracy.

As NeuBird continues to refine its solution with design and alpha partners, the early stage startup is set to launch its product later this year. With substantial funding secured, the team is well-equipped to focus on developing a robust solution without the immediate pressure of fundraising.
