Summary
Sawmills AI, a San Francisco-based startup that uses AI and machine learning (ML) to reduce data costs and customise newsletters for firms, has emerged from stealth with $10m in seed funding.
The platform, which uses OpenTelemetry, acts as a middleware layer, analysing log, metrics and traces in real-time to reduce data costs and improve data quality.
Sawmills’ founders spoke to more than 100 VP of engineering and head of DevOps heads, who said that observability solutions were their biggest problem as many felt they were paying millions for useless data.
The company plans to market the platform more widely after securing dozens of paid subscribers, with the goal of reaching mid- to large-sized companies with 500 to 5,000 employees, that are cloud-heavy and heavily invested in observability.
