Soham Mazumdar, co-founder of Rubrik, is back with a bold new venture. His startup, WisdomAI, is entering the AI data analytics space with a platform that can handle structured, unstructured, and even messy datasets—no cleaning required.
Launched after Mazumdar left Rubrik in 2023, WisdomAI is already drawing major attention. The company raised $23 million in seed funding, led by Coatue, with participation from Madrona, GTM Capital, and Anthology Fund.
AI That Understands Messy Data
The holy grail for enterprise business intelligence is simple: make data useful in its raw form. WisdomAI does exactly that. It lets business users ask direct questions and get deep insights—even if the underlying data has typos, inconsistencies, or comes from various formats.
Instead of running through multiple teams or waiting on analysts, business leaders can ask WisdomAI questions like, “How am I going to close my quarter?” and get answers immediately.
Mazumdar explains how the tool works: “A chief revenue officer can pinpoint pending deals, see what’s delaying each one, and find out exactly what the customer needs—all with just five keystrokes.”
Not Just Smart — Accurate
What sets WisdomAI apart from other AI data analytics platforms is its focus on accuracy and reliability. Unlike many GenAI-powered tools, WisdomAI doesn’t hallucinate or generate made-up data.
Instead, it uses generative AI only to write programs that query real databases and document systems. So if the AI gets something wrong, the query fails—there’s no risk of fabricating results.
This approach is gaining attention from top enterprises. ConocoPhillips, Cisco, and Descope are already early customers. One oil and gas company, for example, uses WisdomAI to help field workers tap into telemetry data, documents, and databases using natural language questions.
Built for the Enterprise
WisdomAI supports popular cloud data platforms like Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Databricks, and Postgres. It can be trained on any system by analyzing query logs and adapting to each data environment.
According to Mazumdar, the team behind WisdomAI—all ex-Rubrik engineers—built the platform to adapt fast and scale easily. This makes it ideal for large organizations managing complex, fragmented data.
The platform’s ability to extract insights from both structured and unstructured sources—without requiring clean or pre-processed data—is what investors are betting on.
WisdomAI enters a crowded space, competing with AI tools that claim to simplify data access via natural language prompts. However, its edge lies in not just usability but trustworthiness. Many tools in the market promise ease of use, but few can guarantee that results are free of hallucination.
Most AI tools rely heavily on fine-tuned models or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). WisdomAI, by contrast, keeps the generative AI focused solely on crafting safe and accurate queries, ensuring the actual data stays untouched and unmanipulated.
Mazumdar says this method gives enterprises the transparency and confidence they need to make decisions backed by real data.
With $23 million in the bank and a product already attracting major customers, WisdomAI is poised to become a game-changer in the AI data analytics arena.
