SEASON 3, EPISODE 6

FULL-STACK GENERATIVE AI MEANS BUSINESS WITH WRITER CO-FOUNDER & CEO, MAY HABIB

 

 

 

AI is booming, but transforming industries still requires custom models that most companies can't build, customize, and deploy themselves. That's the opportunity May Habib saw early and seized. As Co-Founder and CEO of Writer, May and her team have built a full-stack generative AI platform tailored for enterprise companies, giving knowledge workers across a range of industries access to AI's unprecedented capabilities. Combining generative language models with specialized training and guardrails, Writer lets enterprises generate content, analyze data, automate workflows, and more through a no-code interface. Its secret sauce? Palmyra, Writer's own family of LLMs optimized on customers' data for accuracy and tailored to their security needs. May joins the show to share her entrepreneurial journey, trace Writer's pandemic-era origin story, and walk through how business teams are using the platform to build their own tools. She also shares her vision for an AI-augmented business world — one where “if you aren't an AI-enabled team, it'll feel like you're working without the Internet.”

If you aren’t an AI-enabled team, it’ll feel like you’re working without the Internet.

  • Why Writer develops its own models like Palmyra instead of relying on third-party LLMs
  • Use cases for how enterprise customers like Intuit are using Writer to discover new insights, boost productivity, and gain competitive advantage
