Emergence claims their AI agents can perform tasks typically handled by knowledge workers, such as filling out forms, searching for products, and navigating streaming services1. The agents are designed to be self-operating, interactive, and capable of planning, reasoning, and self-improvement.
Emergence, an AI venture, was co-founded by Satya Nitta, the former head of global AI solutions at IBM's research division, along with Ravi Koku and Sharad Sundararajan15. The company emerged from stealth mode with $97.2 million in funding from Learn Capital and credit lines totaling more than $100 million5.
Emergence has formed strategic partnerships with Samsung and touch display company Newline Interactive, both of which are existing Merlyn Mind customers1. These partnerships aim to integrate Emergence's technology into future products, such as Samsung's WAD interactive displays and Newline's Q and Q Pro series displays.
