According to executives, the effort addresses a shortage of skilled professionals capable of integrating AI into real-world operations.

Rather than offering traditional consulting, the venture will embed engineers within companies to overhaul workflows and drive adoption. The report said initial focus will be on sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, and finance.

The move underscores intensifying competition with OpenAI as firms race to dominate enterprise AI ahead of potential public listings.
