Since its debut in November 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has taken the globe by storm, and companies have been racing to incorporate it in some shape or form into their business processes.

Meanwhile, at a time when generative AI is gaining traction, deeptech startup WorkHack has secured $1.5M in a round co-led by Together Fund and Nexus Venture Partners to assist organisations in using the technology. The funding round also saw participation from The New Normal Fund and other angel investors. 

The funds will be used to develop the company’s AI tech layer, which will allow organisations to deploy safe and responsible AI services. 

The Bengaluru-based platform is geared at major organisations that want to explore new generative AI use cases but are unsure how to do it safely and successfully.

Easy to use for businesses

WorkHack, founded by Akshat Tyagi, strives to make ChatGPT and other Large Language Models ready for use in complex business scenarios. WorkHack is creating a layer that minimises the risk and difficulty of employing generative AI for real-world usecases by developing controlled AI. It has handled over a million users for its clients. 

Founded in 2021, the startup began working with businesses in the recruitment field to construct AI for interviews utilising GPT3. Within a few months of coming live, the company onboarded many large enterprise customers and moved into the marketing-tech sector with use-cases for conversions, consultation journeys, cancellations, habit development, and lead qualifying. 

Recognising the gap between technology and business applications, WorkHack has been developing solutions that enable businesses to implement safe, thoughtful, and responsible AI without having to design their own AI models.

Akshat Tyagi, founder of WorkHack commented: “ChatGPT is an exciting consumer tool to play with and there is palpable excitement among companies also, even large customer engagement platforms like Intercom, Hubspot and Salesforce have attempted to use generative AI within their current products. WorkHack answers the questions of how to make the adoption scale responsibily. We will be the stable AI layer that enterprises trust for solving their generative AI journey. Our core strength is recognising what areas of human interactions can significantly benefit from a technology that appears to be able to think and reason”.   

“Many companies are trying and have tried to train their own LLMs for security reasons, but more often than not these do not stand a chance against models built by larger tech companies. WorkHack will be the layer on the top of existing LLMs to make it viable for businesses to move forward with AI adoption” added Akshat Tyagi.  

“We are thrilled to partner with Workhack, a leading provider of generative AI solutions. As every business will need tools to control and leverage Generative AI to drive better customer engagement, we believe that Workhack is the ideal partner for the businesses to achieve that goal. Workhack’s platform makes it seamless for any consumer-facing enterprise to make AI goals driven towards their sales & marketing use cases, in a predictable and secure fashion”. Says Manav Garg, Founding Partner, Together Fund and CEO, Eka 

“Application layer for generative AI till now has primarily aided activities like copywriting and graphic editing. WorkHack aims to build predictability and goal alignment for companies to deploy and find their own interesting use-cases of Gen AI. We are thrilled to partner with Akshat and WorkHack team to help drive the adoption of Generative AI at scale”, says Jishnu Bhattacharjee, managing director, Nexus Venture Partners.

WorkHack is now the infrastructure that allows businesses to build unique conversational agents and deploy them on their own delivery stacks such as web, mobile, and Whatsapp. WorkHack AI has already conducted over a million talks with specific aims in mind. 

Tyagi, the founder, was an early stage user of Open AI’s original GPT3 model in 2021 and has witnessed the evolution of several large language models (LLMs) since then.
