In an effort to increase enterprise adoption of their tools, the new company will be funded by $4 billion and will work by embedding Forward Deployed Engineers into companies looking to start using AI.

The issue at hand is not simply installing and using the OpenAI chatbots, but in identifying datasets, infrastructure and workflows to hook up and where AI can be most impactful, OpenAI writes.

The Deployment Company will be joined by 150 experienced engineers from Tomoro, which OpenAI just acquired. Tomoro does just what the new company is tasked with — turning AI into a strategic advantage.

On the investment side, the company counts Bain & Company, Capgemini, and McKinsey. Together with a whole host of founding partners, including SoftBank and Goldman Sachs, they will be covering more than 2,000 enterprises around the world as consultants and integrators.
