Can AI Finally Be Trusted? Ex-Humane Leaders Launch $25 Million Valuation Venture to Fix the Problem!

As organizations increasingly rely on AI for critical decision-making, the pervasive issue of inaccuracies in AI-generated information has become a significant concern. Addressing this challenge head-on, former Humane executives Brooke Hartley Moy and Ken Kocienda have launched Infactory, an AI fact-checking venture that recently raised $4 million at a $25 million valuation.

Infactory is designed to provide a trustworthy solution for enterprises by offering an AI search engine that can accurately query both internal databases and the open web. This focus on transparency and reliability aims to alleviate the common frustrations faced by businesses let down by existing AI solutions. “Many industries, including finance, healthcare, and media, require high-quality, precise answers derived from their data,” explained Hartley Moy, now the CEO of Infactory. “We recognized a critical gap in the market for a product that could deliver that level of accuracy.”

Hartley Moy and Kocienda, who were key players at Humane before their departure in May, recognized the limitations of consumer-focused AI products. Their experiences highlighted the need for solutions tailored specifically to enterprise needs. “Building this kind of product was never going to be a fit at a consumer hardware company,” Hartley Moy noted.

Infactory’s approach involves using advanced AI technologies to help businesses obtain accurate information quickly. For instance, a doctor could use Infactory to verify potential drug interactions by querying internal patient data, receiving reliable answers with sourced citations. Kocienda emphasized the importance of this feature, stating, “That answer has to be right, and that information exists in the data that this company has built up.”
