Welcome to Sapience

Hi and Welcome!

We’re glad you’re here.

This is day one in a new way of working. Sapience is designed to fuse your data with bleeding-edge AI to let you do extraordinary things.

This quick letter gives you an overview of Sapience, why we created it, what it’s great at, and where its going.

So, why did we build Sapience? In short, because there is no good product on the market that lets busy executives use AI properly. Developers have Cursor - Sapience does it for busy execs. Staying on top of the latest AI developments is a full-time job (we know - it’s ours). Cursor exploded because it didn’t require coders to change their workflow. It’s a “fork” of VS Code, a tool every dev on earth uses.

Sapience is the same. It works like you do. You can email it, you can talk to it, you can add files & data to it (docs, data files, images, videos, audio) and it auto-magically knows what to do and uses the best AI tech for the job.

Let’s talk also talk about choice. With Sapience, you don’t have to choose an AI vendor. You get a system that uses the best AI for the job from Open AI, Anthropic/Claude, Perplexity & Google. No FOMO. No missing out.

Sapience Agents work 24x7 - 168 hours a week to your 40. You get a curated AI Agent experience. We have put an enterprise harness around the best AI models, to make them useful to let you do work.

That includes making it easy for you to work with thousands of your files if you want, integrating with more than 200 other systems, and providing things like scheduled agent runs, deep email integration, and native voice so you can work with AI like you work with your human colleagues. And that right there is the crux of it: the new reality is that the best teams are made up of humans and Agents.

We make working with Agents just like working with humans in a virtual/remote setting.

Sapience at its core is a system to help you create digital employees.

In technical jargon it’s a multi-Agent orchestration platform for enterprises (with support for multi-modal and multi-vendor agents). With either label, Sapience makes building powerful and data-rich Agents easy. It’s got a lot of automation built-in, so it doubles as an AI Automation engine.

Trying to predict “which model” is going to be the best is a fools game. If you pick one horse, you’re going to miss out. That’s where the idea of just buying Claude or just buying Chat GPT enterprise falls down. With Sapience, you get everything on offer from all the major AI labs.

But more importantly - you get a “harness” that actually makes those bits of tech work. Harness is an interesting word. Without harnesses, horses aren’t very useful for work!

I’ll say something controversial: Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini’s user-facing systems are toys. For enterprise use, they’re junk. They are basically just tech demos at this point. With a promise of things to come. Anyone who’s tried to do serious work with any of them know this.

So, Sapience does the hard work to make AI tech useful now. That includes fusing it with data. Want to build a Team of Agents with one agent from each lab that all critique each other? You can do that! Want to integrate it with your personal or company data? You can do that. Want to wire it up to Salesforce or Oracle (or 200 other systems)? You can do that.

And that unlocks enormous power.

What are some things Sapience can do? It can convert voice memos or dictations to written articles. It can read a photo of a whiteboard and turn that into a written plan. It can translate any of 2000 file types from say… english into chinese. It can search the web or personal/company data to write reports. It can reply to emails and write emails for you.

It works like having a very smart professional, with hard-core data science, coding, research and analytical skills, at your disposal and willing to work 168 hours in a week.

Sapience started life in 2020 as a deep research tool for digitally profiling marketing leads. It’s grown exponentially from there. We’ve been building software for decades, and the team behind Sapience has previously built two award winning data platforms that were rated by Gartner et al. as the #1 in their category. We know how to build great software, and we know a lot about data. So, we invite you to come with us on this journey.

We have taken some of the most cutting edge AI research and made it user friendly for you. You can build a Team of Agents, each with specific skills, and have them work for you on a schedule or on-demand. They’ll work with consistent quality and throughput constantly. Sapience supports advanced Agentic workflow patterns that devs and builders can use, but we wrap it up in a Executive-friendly system, so you don’t have to understand the nuts and bolts if you don’t want to.

We use Sapience Agents to help build Sapience, and we have Agents running 168 hours a week, every week, 52 weeks a year. It’s why we ship major features every month, and we’re proud of that.

So… go send Sapience an email, give it a meeting recording to analyze, or just talk to it. If you want a launch-point, check out the 30 tips & tricks article. But, do something to get started, anything, and welcome to the 1st day of a new AI-native workflow.

Thanks & enjoy, Ken & the Sapience Team
