Three Salesforce AI pioneers launch Faros AI to bring order to engineering operations – TechCrunch

When the three founders of Faros AI were working at Salesforce, they helped develop the company's artificial intelligence, known as Einstein. While the goal of Einstein was to help companies become more data-driven, the engineering team building it experienced the same pain of tracking engineering operations data as any other company. Faros AI CEO and co-founder Vitaly Gordon said that despite Salesforce's vast resources, they still suffered from a dearth of data and a lack of adequate tools for collecting it. "We were scaling that operation within Salesforce and working with I think close to 10,000 customers, but we realized that we actually were not practicing what we preach as a technical organization [when it came to making use of data]," Gordon said. That their engineering team lacked the kinds of tools it was building for sales and marketing teams to put data to work was a real eye-opener.
