About Faraday
Industrial and legacy enterprises still rely on people to coordinate disconnected layers of software and machines. Automating this work has required an FDE services approach in the past, because so much of it is bespoke and company specific. Faraday is a self-improving platform that take on this operational work. It connects to their existing software and machines and automatically builds training environments around each company’s workflows and data. Each job the agents do is checked against those environments, and the results are used to train them. The agents get better on their own with no additional work. Continuous learning turns each company’s expertise into a compounding asset. Completed work, corrections, and employee feedback improve the agents, and those improvements carry into future jobs. The business preserves its knowledge while becoming more capable over time. As these agents take on more workflows, Faraday will be the shared runtime coordinating work between humans, agents, and robots across the business.
