Gaia Inc. Exits Stealth to Deliver World’s First Autonomous Data Agent

Will bring AI-powered data insights to C-suite executives

Palo Alto, CA: Gaia Inc. today announced it has exited stealth development and has launched its revolutionary “autonomous data agent” analytics platform. Designed for C-suite executives to use for rapid insights on mobile devices, Gaia uses a combination of AI and natural language processing to make data analytics simple.

“Our experience working at various analytic platforms taught us that there is a huge gap in analytics today. While tools like dashboards and self-service analytics are great for analysts, they don’t serve CEOs and other executives well ,” says Jason Bissell, CEO at Gaia. “Gaia is designed to serve the executive who’s constantly moving between meetings and just doesn’t have the time to sit down and interpret a dashboard or learn a new system. It’s not analytics as we know them today, it’s what we call a ‘data agent’.”

Based on more than three years of development, companies like India-based Sathya Group are currently using Gaia across all 100 stores to enable any store manager to accurately predict demand and make critical inventory decisions using conversational analytics.

According to J. Johnson, Chairman of Sathya Group said, “Before Gaia, we were conditioned to think that analytics have to be complicated, requiring an army of analysts just to tell us basic things like our monthly forecasts. We bought every tool and platform imaginable and just ended up with different flavors of dashboards but no real results. Gaia has completely blown away our expectations. We never open dashboards anymore, we just talk to Gaia. We ask it about sales, forecasts, and root causes of problems. It’s not only replaced all of our old-fashioned analytics tools, but it’s saved us millions by catching problems before they impact our sales. Going back to the old way of doing things before Gaia would feel like trying to win a marathon with a leg cut off.”

In addition to CEO Jason Bissell, Gaia’s leadership team will include Dan de Grazia, chief operating officer, Kevin Smith, chief marketing officer, and Narayanan Sundaram, chief technology officer. Sudhakar Balakrishnan, one of the founders of Gaia, will serve as an advisor to the team.

“We’re incredibly excited to be unveiling Gaia after so much work,” says Bissell. “By removing the friction between data and the managers that need the insights the most, we believe that we can fulfill the promise that analytics has been making but failing to deliver for so many years.”
