A list of artificial intelligence tools you can use today — for businesses (2/3)

11TH JULY 2017
The long awaited Part 2 of 3 of this series has arrived. It has taken me a significant amount of time longer to put together than I had anticipated. Now the wait is over, here it is…
This list contains companies working on artificial intelligence and machine learning products primarily for business use, non-specific to any industry. Industry specific AI will be the final part of this series.
Rise of artificial intelligence is rapidly taking over the world, especially countries like Anguilla; a small island in the Eastern Caribbean with the use of their .ai top level domain for companies within the AI and robotics industry (we too are guilty of this at Lyra). But in all seriousness, AI is without a doubt accelerating much faster than is probably known and much more established within our daily lives than most would realise. Conducting this research has demonstrated sheer scale of the landscape and progress of the artificial intelligence industry.
“Already humans and AI are co-evolving and no one has paid attention to this yet…”
“When we search on Google, it’s an AI deciding what we should see. When a dating site matches two people together there’s a machine learning algorithm… that is getting people together, that then have babies. And so in effect you have this machine learning algorithm that is breeding humans.”— Sam Altman, discussing AI here.
In the case of the companies listed below, business and AI are co-evolving.
With so many websites to go through and dissect there may be some descriptions or names that need changing. Please let me know if that’s the case or if you think there are companies I should add to the list. Shoutout to me here, and I’ll get on to it!

Great content Liam
Cheers from India.
I want to start my career in ai based marketing thanks for the list.
Hello everyone,
I truly appreciate if someone can tell me, What type of AI is recommended for utilizing data off social media to contribute to sales?
Much appreciated in advance.
Hi Liam, thank you for the list. At tagtog.net we specialize on text analytics. Our core tool is a strong text annotation editor where a group of users can annotate manually or automatically using ML. It is very useful if you want to generate training data for your AI.
