Humane leaders quit!

Following a disastrous launch, with scathing customer reviews, AI Pin company, Humane, has lost two of its key leaders: Strategic Partnerships Lead, Brooke Hartley Moy and Head of Product Engineering, Ken Kocienda, who have left to start their own company–called Infactory–which has nothing to do with AI hardware.

What is Infactory?

Infactory is an AI-powered fact-checking search engine, with a difference. Unlike Google’s AI Overviews, which uses AI to provide information summaries, Infactory uses AI to pull information from a variety of trusted sources (citations included). They are prioritizing quality data over general content sources to ensure answers are accurate and not hallucinogenic.  

“Our goal here is to be selective from a partnership perspective,” Hartley Moy said. “Not all data partners are created equal. I think the reason that we are focusing more on the data vendors over the content providers is that, when it comes to things that are more computational, more based in fact, their business is ensuring that those things are accurate.”

They will also use Large Language Models (LLMs) to create a natural language interface so users don’t need to try multiple combinations of words and phrases to get the desired result.

Who is this search engine for?

While Google’s AI Overviews are for the average person Infactory will be subscription-based and only for Enterprises like financial institutions, research labs, and newsrooms, who need trusted, reliable, and accurate information.
