Anyone familiar with C3.AI ? It went public at $100 and now at $25.

Is it a buy ?
I’ll have to do my research in parallel to this post.

    I bought c3 ai at ipo and sold it for a pretty decent profit before it collapsed.

    I would not buy it again at any price.

    Businesses selling general-purpose enterprise AI solutions are in a terrible market. AI can be really powerful when applied in clever ways, but it usually requires the perfect combination of domain expertise, AI expertise, and engineering expertise. C3 ai on the other hand sells fairly generic out of box models wrapped in “enterprise” grade software. These types of solutions tend to deliver underwhelming results.

    There is plenty of demand for now, since lots of companies want to try out bespoke AI software. There is no real market behind it though. The history of this product space is littered with snake oil sellers, and most customers have been burned before.

      Sounds like that’s just a partnership agreement? Maybe also share a link? They wouldn’t be using c3 ai, just reselling it through their marketplace to customers and having it run fully in google cloud.

      Btw almost every major software company make these kinds of partnership agreements with major public cloud providers. Like you can install SAP on google cloud with a few clicks and it runs on their infra.

      Google gets customers paying for GCP. its a partnership agreement and as C3.ai is serverless, the cloud computing costs are passthrough.

    Interviewed there and glad I got rejected. Feel bad for the employees there. WLB is pretty bad

      I wouldn't say C3 sits in the middle. From my experience we're clearly above average for tech. Im glad that you work 43h, but you're really the only one I know that does. What team are you on?
      Also, if we consider the commute since we're not allowed to work from home, it's even worse
