MetaMind acquired by Salesforce


Today, I'm thrilled to share the news that Salesforce has acquired MetaMind. We couldn't be more excited to join Salesforce.

Over the past year and a half, we've been on a mission to empower business users with state of the art deep learning technology to simplify, improve and automate decision making. And now, we'll be able to continue our journey at Salesforce on a much larger scale, with the resources and ecosystem of one of the world's most innovative and influential enterprise software companies.

With MetaMind and Salesforce coming together, we'll be able to offer customers real AI solutions with breakthrough capabilities that further automate and personalize customer support, marketing automation, and many other business processes. We'll extend Salesforce's data science capabilities by embedding deep learning within the Salesforce platform.

Salesforce plans to integrate MetaMind's technology into Salesforce services. For unpaid web users, MetaMind's products will be discontinued on May 4. For our monthly recurring users, MetaMind's products will be discontinued on June 4. We'll delete any data we have stored for unpaid web users and monthly recurring users promptly after close.

We plan to continue our AI research, so you'll continue to see us publish groundbreaking discoveries that advance our deep learning platform's accuracy and capabilities.

I can't thank our customers and employees enough for their support in getting us to this point. We look forward to the deep learning breakthroughs to come. And if you're interested in joining our team, check out our open positons.
