At the C3 Transform 2023 conference, Houman Behzadi presented the company's product roadmap, stating that the total AI software market had grown to $791 billion according to an IDC revision. He argued that many companies' approach of building departmental AI applications on data lakes is "not reusable" and "not scalable," and questioned whether such applications show value. Behzadi said that C3 AI's product development is centered on value across industry value chains, such as revenue intelligence and supply network risk. He described the company's technology stack as sitting on top of cloud infrastructure, allowing cloud providers to continue innovating while C3 AI builds an AI application development platform. Behzadi also discussed the integration of generative AI to create a natural language interface for C3 AI applications, enabling users to ask questions and receive answers across the stack. He noted that C3 AI was ranked as a leader in the AI/ML platform space by several research firms, including Forrester, IDC, and Omdia, citing top marks in strategy, product vision, and application tools. He concluded by inviting attendees to the Solutions Hub for further demonstrations.
