Using AI for good

$NOW to acquire Element AI for an undisclosed sum. Article estimates $500m (~0.5% of ServiceNow’s $100b mkt cap)

Sounds good. Adding AI into $NOW ‘s workflows to assist enterprises to work better.

I have a lot of respect for the $NOW CEO, @BillRMcDermott
Element AI is a Canadian company founded and run by AI experts. The top skills are staying on at $NOW

They help enterprises to *use* AI to their advantage. NB for the future.

Just read the bios of the two top gents below. There are several more...
Element AI has previously raised cash from some of the worlds biggest AI companies.

Read excerpt below from the TechCrunch article.

Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia & Tencent

They also have McKinsey as a shareholder
Overall, it seems great.

$NOW has annual rev of $4b. CEO wants to get it to $10b.

It’s going to need a lot of AI in the mix to reach that target!

So this deal adds to their AI capabilities & brings along some top skills in that space.

Makes sense 👍

Joined a ‘world’ called Brookhaven. Went to grocery store, then the bank. A girl came in and started shouting with a rifle, then bank alarm went off, lol ImageImage
Interesting, but I wasn’t sure what I was meant to do? Do you just walk around and try chat to other characters?

Likely not aimed at me. Suppose I need to experiment more.

But it didn’t ‘catch me’ in my first sitting

Typo - Not shouting - I meant shooting

My thoughts on $TWLO 's Segment acq after listening to the conf call:

- Makes sense
- Solving something important - single view of customer
- Buying a leader in a related high growth space
- Raises TAM from $62-79B (27%)
- Accretive to $TWLO - paying lower mult

The CEOs of $TWLO (@jeffiel) & Segment (@reinpk) seem very good together.

Similar developer focus & vision

Could hear the excitement as they answered the conf call qs

All share deal makes sense to me

They're both young & talented so can do GREAT things from here Image

They're solving something very important - to get a single view of the customer.

This helps co's to do more personalised and targeted engagement with their customers.

In an increasing digital world, relevant customer engagement is critical.
