About Wayz.ai
Wayz.ai operates as a specialized spatiotemporal artificial intelligence (ST-AI) platform, focusing on delivering intelligent decision-making services. The company was established in 2017 by Dr. Vincent Tao, who brought extensive experience from his previous roles, including Director of Microsoft Virtual Earth and CEO of the online TV provider PPTV.
The firm's core business revolves around its proprietary ST-AI technology, which integrates city-level digital twins, spatial computing, and large AI models. This technology transforms vast amounts of data into actionable insights, serving clients across government, business, marketing, and finance. Wayz.ai's platform provides a full-stack solution for dynamic perception, comprehensive insight, and intelligent forecasting, enabling smarter decisions for urban management and business operations. Initially, the company also focused on providing high-definition maps for L2, L3, and L4 autonomous vehicles, leveraging AI and sensor data to create precise positioning and location intelligence solutions.
The company's offerings are designed to help organizations with macro-strategic decisions, intelligent site selection, and brand marketing optimization. For instance, the technology assists businesses in analyzing supply-demand relationships within geographic regions, providing sales forecasts, and optimizing retail operations. It also empowers city planners to better manage urban development, disaster mitigation, and economic growth. By building a 'Location Knowledge Graph' from over 80 million offline commercial points and analyzing user behavior from over a billion smart devices, Wayz.ai provides services like customer flow analysis, precise customer acquisition, and scenario-based marketing.
The company has successfully raised significant capital to fuel its growth, including an $80 million Series A round in 2018 and an additional $40 million in 2021 from a consortium of investors. Wayz.ai maintains a global presence with research and development teams located in Shanghai, Seattle, and Silicon Valley.
