We're on a mission to empower software engineering organizations to do their best work with readily available data, actionable insights, and automation around every aspect of the software development process
The Story of Faros AI
Faros AI was founded by the founding team of Salesforce Einstein - the first, comprehensive enterprise AI platform. While leading the engineering efforts for Salesforce Einstein, the founders were frustrated by the lack of data-backed narratives when making decisions on engineering allocation and investment. Recognizing this as a problem plaguing most software engineering organizations today, the founders built Faros AI to empower engineering organizations with the data and insights they need to optimize their operations and drive better business outcomes.
Faros AI provides innovative and reliable AI solutions giving software engineering teams and leaders much needed visibility into every aspect of the software development process — from velocity and quality, to cost, team health, organizational goals, and more. With data that is readily available and actionable, Faros AI is transforming the way engineering organizations operate, building a future where every company is a world class software company.
