REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 23, 2022 — C3 AI, the Enterprise AI software company, announced the general availability of C3 AI Version 8 to dramatically accelerate the development of large-scale AI applications.

Five years in development, Version 8 is a complete re-architecture of the C3 AI Application Platform and its prebuilt AI applications, enabling dramatic performance improvements and a seamless development experience from data engineering and transformations to AI/machine-learning (ML) model and application prototyping.

Version 8 empowers enterprises to develop, deploy, and operationalize AI at scale with a new simplified, cohesive AI Application platform common to developers, data scientists, citizen data scientists, business users, and IT operators.

Version 8 also provides a family of over six pre-built enterprise AI application suites across Reliability, Supply Chain, CRM, Sustainability, Defense and Intelligence, and Financial Services.

“The ability to rapidly deploy AI applications at scale will be a defining competitive advantage in the next decade. We have created a market-leading platform and turn-key enterprise AI applications to do just that,” said Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman and CEO of C3 AI.

C3 AI works with some of the world’s largest companies, including Shell, Engie, Bank of America, Cargill, SWIFT, U.S. Department of Defense, and Koch Industries. Representing the world’s largest AI production application footprint, C3 AI improves the operations and lives of millions of businesses and consumers.
