Longform.ai BV, a spin-off from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and based in Amsterdam, has secured €300,000 in funding from Innovatiefonds Noord-Holland. In addition, the company has benefited from extensive mentorship provided by the TTT-AI program, accelerating both its research and commercialization efforts.
Longform.ai is building a cutting-edge platform that leverages generative AI to extract valuable insights from large volumes of audio data. As online conversations like podcasts and webinars continue to grow rapidly, they are becoming a vital source of information for analysts, researchers, and business leaders. However, the sheer volume of content presents a challenge: with thousands of hours of conversations to sift through, identifying the most relevant information can be overwhelming. Longform.ai addresses this problem by using advanced AI technology to efficiently analyze and interpret key data and insights from massive audio datasets.
TTT-AI (TTT-AI.nl) & IXA business developers and legal advisors helped Longform.ai to get Proof of Concept funding and to arrange an IP agreement with UVA.
