About Us
CommonAI provides a new backbone for AI infrastructure.
We believe that collaborative engineering is the means to accelerate AI innovation. It cuts the time and money spent in duplication caused by each startup and enterprise developing the same tools and building their own infrastructure in siloes.
We value transparency and inclusivity. By fostering participatory communities and sharing knowledge, we enable the co-creation of ideas, systems and next-gen AI technologies - together.
We want to drive decentralised innovation. We provide a highly secure, protected space for AI startups, engineers and enterprise leaders so they can co-develop and access shared, industrial-grade IP and compete locally and internationally like virtual BigCos.
