Data governance for language models in the enterprise
Deasie is a data governance layer to support safe & reliable use of language models in the enterprise. Our product connects to thousands of documents, auto-tags everything in terms of contents & sensitivity, and ensures that AI models are only ever fed with data that is relevant, safe & high-quality. Our three founders (from Amazon, McKinsey/QuantumBlack & MIT) previously built an ML data governance tool from 0 to 1 within McKinsey, which we deployed with 11 Fortune 500 companies. We saw in early 2023 that the single greatest blocker to reliable and scalable adoption of GenAI, was the inability for enterprises to identify the right set of documents that should be used for a given application. Our investors include General Catalyst, Y Combinator, RTP Global and world experts in enterprise data. Website: https://deasie.com

Company Launches
tl;dr: Deasie ensures that only relevant, high-quality, and safe data is fed into language models.
Hi! We’re Reece, Leo, and Mikko and we’re excited to launch Deasie.
⚠️ Problem
For the first time, companies are turning towards their masses of unstructured data (e.g., documents, reports, emails) for a range of Generative AI use cases. Today, most companies are unable to answer the critical questions needed to ensure language models are trained and deployed reliably: Does this data contain sensitive information? Is this the most relevant data for this problem? Are there inconsistencies in the data that could skew my results?
💡 Solution
Deasie is a platform that provides automated checks for compliance (e.g., PII & proprietary data) and quality (e.g., irrelevant, untimely, or inconsistent information) of unstructured data, to reliably govern which data is used for which language model use case.
👨👦👦 The Team
Founders Leo, Mikko & Reece previously built McKinsey's award-winning product that used AI to enhance data quality in the enterprise, built ML applications across QuantumBlack, MIT, Amazon, and Mercedes, and have now set out to unlock the power of unstructured data for the upcoming wave on language model applications.
