What happened
WisdomAI secured £50 million in Series A funding, led by Kleiner Perkins and Nvidia's NVentures, following a prior £23 million seed round. This capital injection will expand the engineering team, accelerate product development, and scale go-to-market operations. Their AI-driven platform now leverages large language models to generate database queries from natural language questions, providing insights from structured, unstructured, and 'dirty' data. It establishes an 'enterprise context layer' for schema learning and synonym mapping, delivering auditable answers with citations to over 40 enterprise clients.
Why it matters
The introduction of an AI-driven platform generating database queries from natural language reduces direct operational control over data extraction logic. This increases reliance on the platform's internal 'enterprise context layer' for schema interpretation and synonym mapping, potentially creating a visibility gap for data governance and IT security teams regarding query construction. While auditable citations are provided, the automated query generation process raises due diligence requirements for data quality assurance and compliance teams, particularly when processing unstructured or 'dirty' data across diverse sources.
