Comment on Ask HN: Do AI/ML companies actually have real customers?parent

Comments

Hi There - Could you please clarify what you mean by "horizontal vs. vertical" solutions/vendors? Maybe you could provide an example of each of those?

Horizontal means platforms, frameworks and tooling that are agnostic to the industry they're applied to.

Skymind is a machine-learning operations company (one of several): we help businesses train, deploy, monitor and update AI models. The same software is used by telecoms, finance, e-commerce and automotive companies -- horizontal.

There are countless vertical specific companies: e.g. Merlon applies ML to anti-money laundering.
