x.ai builds and maintains an artificial intelligence powered personal assistant that schedules meetings for its business customers.

x.ai, inc., an artificial intelligence company, today announced that it has secured $2.1M in seed funding led by IA Ventures, Softbank and Lerer Ventures. The investment will expand data and science efforts towards fully emulating a human scheduling negotiation - so 87 million US knowledge workers can get their own assistant.

'I scheduled 1,019 meetings for myself in 2012 and loved every human interaction as much as I hated every email ping pong necessary to get it on the calendar,' said Dennis R. Mortensen, CEO and Founder of x.ai.

x.ai is a personal assistant that use email to schedule meetings. Customers talk to Amy as they would to any other person - and they can have her do all the tedious email ping pong that comes along with scheduling a meeting. It requires no sign-in, no password, no download; all they do is CC: amy@x.ai.

'I've been cc-ing amy@x.ai for months and I find it difficult to see how I would go back to a time without her help. The nature of my business is meeting with people -- entrepreneurs, corporate execs, fellow investors -- and efficiently taking away the tedious task of scheduling my meetings is a huge boon to my productivity,' said Jonathan Lehr, Director at Work-Bench.

x.ai is currently looking for some of the best and brightest to fill positions in the following areas; Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Backend Engineers and Ai Trainers. So if you want to be the arbiter of time, head over to x.ai/jobs.

'x.ai is taking on a well-accepted pain, using artificial intelligence and machine learning to a degree rarely seen,' said Brad Gillespie, Partner at IA Ventures. 'Dennis and the x.ai team is executing on a very ambitious plan, which, if successful, could change the paradigm for how we schedule meetings in the future, perhaps even how we choose to spend our time at work.'
