Here’s the ten-thousand-foot view of Fixie platform’s: LLM-powered agents that interface with external systems. As for Fixie’s chief AI officer, Hessam Bagherinezhad, he was a machine learning exec at Apple on products including the iPhone and Apple Watch. CTO Justin Uberti was one of the original architects of AOL Instant Messenger. Koch was a product director at Shopify and a lead on the Chrome and Android teams.


Welsh was an engineering leader on the Chrome team at Google for nearly a decade before coming to Fixie. Whether Fixie is the first of its kind is slightly in question, but what isn’t is the founding team’s pedigree. “The core of Fixie is its LLM-powered agents that can be built by anyone and run anywhere.” “Essentially, Fixie is an infinitely extensible model that enterprises can integrate into their own products and tools,” co-founder and CPO Zach Koch told TechCrunch in an email interview. Co-founder and CEO Matt Welsh describes it as the first enterprise-focused platform-as-a-service for building experiences with large language models (LLMs). Yet another startup hoping to cash in on the generative AI craze has secured an eye-popping tranche of VC funding.Ĭalled Fixie, the firm, founded by former engineering heads at Apple and Google, aims to connect text-generating models similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT to an enterprise’s data, systems and workflows.
