VectorShift

AI Automations platform

[Albert Mao @AlbertZMao]

At McKinsey, I spent 2-3 hours every day extracting data from reports

Took <1 hr to build a financial data extraction pipeline for a bank using VectorShift

GPT4o instantly:
- Extracts and formats key financial figures
- Identifies trends in market data, risks, and mangement commentary
- Compares performance against historicals and comparable companies

I have talked to 1,000+ companies this year. <10% of large enterprises have GenAI solutions in production.

However, almost every enterprise has identified use cases.

There is a big chasm where genAI ideas die when moving from PPT slides to production solutions. These are the top 3 causes:

1. Data is scattered in an enterprise. To make AI solutions useful, siloed data has to be unified and optimized for AI workflows.
2. Enterprises lack the skills and expertise across both developers and front-line employees to build and use AI solutions effectively.
3. AI solutions need to be rigourously evaluated and monitored for performance to limit hallucinations.

We built VectorShift to help enterprises cross this chasm. For example, an F500 tech company uses us to deploy 3+ solutions across their sales and engineering org. They use VectorShift to:
1. Centralize and live-sync with their data across all their tools.
2. Optimize the data for AI workflows (e.g., tabular data, data in images, improve retrieval accuracy, etc).
3. Deploy solutions to end users in days instead of months.

We have now helped thousands of customers on their AI journeys. Feel free to reach out - we're happy to share more about AI use cases, moving AI solutions from pilot to production, and best practices: [email protected]

At YC Demo day, a VC asked us if AI could help them find information about their deals

Now the team uses an AI search engine to analyze meeting recordings, pitch decks, and deal metrics

It instantly:
1. Searches their Google Drive, Airtable, Notion, and Slack
2. Links to relevant data sources
3. Extracts relevant information to answer questions

YC S23's @VectorShiftAI is a no-code AI workflow automation platform.

With the launch of their unified enterprise search, you can connect all your team’s tools (Google Drive, Notion, Slack) for a single place to securely search &amp; chat with your docs.

This RFP Automation Pipeline will streamline the bidding process that’s notoriously painful in every industry😓, be it a construction company bidding on a government contract or boutique IT services companies vying for the next big contract. We built it in 5 minutes:

1. Upload your reference data: live-sync with your reference data (e.g., product documentation, company presentations, etc.).
2. Provide template responses: Upload previous RFP documents as templates.
3. Generate Proposals: The Writer will produce a proposal in response to a specific question or analyze + respond to multiple questions from a file.

VCs loved using this “Investment Memo” pipeline to quickly learn about their companies in their diligence pipeline.

This pipeline instantly outputs a polished memo for every company in a list, saving analysts hours of Google searching / database querying. How it works:
👉Reads company names from your document (e.g., uploaded excel, Google Sheet)
👉Generates important questions automatically or based on your instructions.
👉Search online / connected data sources and writes a summarized memo directly into your document

Implementing an AI chatbot can save businesses over 50%+ in customer support capacity 🚀

An Inventory Manager at a food wholesale company built a support chatbot in under 15 mins using @VectorShiftAI . The chatbot:
👉 Answers questions about thousands of SKUs in seconds
👉 Utilizes GPT-4o to reason with retrieved data
👉 Live-syncs with the data / always uses the most up-to-date inventory info

See how it’s done below!

❗Big announcement❗

I’m super excited to share that VectorShift has raised $3m 🎉.

Here’s how we are redefining how generative AI workflows are built and deployed:

[Albert Mao @AlbertZMao]

I’m super excited to share that VectorShift has raised $3m seed round 🎉.

Thank you to Y Combinator, 1984 Ventures, Defy VC,  Formus Capital, Soma Capital, 468 Ventures,  Pioneer VC, and many more incredible investors on our cap table.

6 months ago, I was working at McKinsey & Company. I would stay up every night to 2-3am burning the midnight oil churning out excel models and powerpoint slides. Despite this, McKinsey taught me how to present to clients, engage with stakeholders, and approach every problem with analytical rigor.

We applied to Y Combinator on a whim. Despite the fact that I am relatively non-technical, our group partners, Harj Taggar and Richard Aberman welcomed me with open arms and introduced me to the startup world. Thank you for your generosity, support, and advice. I couldn’t have imagined the journey since.

Going through the Y Combinator S23 batch, I met some of the most humble and innovative people tackling the world's largest challenges. Founders who truly want to make a difference and change the world. Thank you to you all for being a part of my life and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of a startup community.

At VectorShift, we are building the generative AI platform that allows businesses to build custom AI solutions for their repetitive tasks. We’ve helped thousands of teams already build AI search engines, assistants, and workflow automations. During my time at McKinsey, I met countless people from organizations of all sizes doing manual tasks and we want to make going to work better for you.

With VectorShift, you can 
+ Centralize and live-sync your data across your applications
+ Search across your knowledge base
+ Define triggers and perform actions across your tools 
+ Build AI workflows either through no-code or through python SDK with complete interoperability

Finally, I would like to thank the amazing VectorShift Team and my co-founder Alex Leonardi. We have the hardest working team - and we ship feature after feature after feature. I’m super excited for the future of VectorShift. Hard work consistently trumps other factors.

If you are looking to leverage generative AI in your company, feel free to reach out!

How do you reduce LLM hallucinations? I spent a good portion of every week helping

@VectorShiftAI customers reduce AI hallucinations in their workflow automations so I put together this guide that discusses a few helpful techniques! See below ⬇️

With a few clicks, you can place a ChatGPT interface on a VectorShift AI workflow!

Great way to share internally or to deliver an AI solution for clients.

"I spend more time finding the data in my organization then actually doing my job" - a customer said on a demo yesterday!

@VectorShiftAI allows you to live-sync and semantic search across all your integrations: Google Drive, Notion, Airtable, and Slack just to name a few!

See below for a pipeline you can set up in <5 min in order to search across your entire organization!

Copilots and Assistants for your document and knowledge basis speed up research and info retrieval.

We hear from users that often times its finding the right information that is more tricky than even generating new data!

What can solve the amount of waste in fast fashion?

I got a chance to sit down with Kaci Xie, CEO of Cimu. Below is an summary written by the VectorShift AI platform.
