Today we're announcing Ode with Anthropic, an AI-native services firm backed by the world's top firms, including Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs, General Atlantic, Leonard Green & Partners, Apollo Global Management, GIC, and Sequoia Capital.

Anthropic is consistently building at the frontier. Their state-of-the-art models are driving the industry forward with every release.

But the best models in the world don't put themselves to work.

The work of diffusing AI into the actual economy - into the companies that make, move, sell, and service everything around you - is an enormous opportunity. A new category of AI-native services is emerging to meet this opportunity and, in collaboration with Anthropic, we aim to build the defining company in this space.

The Opportunity

‍

We believe that some of the biggest winners of the AI era will be non-AI companies that use AI to improve their products, services, and operations. 

Incumbent businesses have critical advantages in distribution, data, and deep operational know-how. If they adopt AI well they will drive growth and extend their leads in their industries.

But adopting AI well is challenging. You’re asking enterprises to rewire themselves using a new, rapidly evolving technology. 

The recipe for successful AI transformation is to pair the advantages of incumbents with top applied AI talent. Picture great AI engineers working closely with a company’s subject matter experts to eliminate operational bottlenecks and create magical new customer experiences. 

Established companies all have the subject matter expertise. Most have ideas for how to improve with AI. But almost none of them have the applied AI talent to bridge the gap between ideas and value creation.

Our Team

‍

Ode is growing fast to meet overwhelming demand. We’re recruiting the best engineers we have ever worked with and creating the best environment for them to learn applied AI.

Over half of our team members are former founders. We’re flexible thinkers who can understand how a business works today and envision how it should work tomorrow. And we’re relentless builders who will stop at nothing to drive outcomes for our clients.

Getting AI into the real economy is some of the most exciting engineering work to be done over the next decade, and almost all of it is still ahead of us.

AI is improving at an exponential pace, and with every release, the gap between model capabilities and what enterprises are doing with them continues to grow. This gap is an amazing opportunity to build things that matter. To work at the cutting edge and drive real impact at large companies. 

Anthropic is building world changing technology. Ode’s mission is to deliver the value of this technology broadly throughout the economy. Come build with us.
