Samaya AI develops expert AI agents purpose-built for investment professionals rather than general-purpose chatbots. Its platform ingests broker research, regulatory filings, transcripts and a firm's internal data, then answers complex financial questions with citations, monitors markets in real time, and executes custom analytical workflows. Founded by former Google DeepMind researcher Maithra Raghu and ex-Meta AI researcher Fabio Petroni, the company emphasizes accuracy and reduced hallucination versus generic LLMs. Samaya raised $43.5M led by NEA with backing from NVIDIA and AI leaders including Eric Schmidt, Yann LeCun and Jeff Dean, positioning it as an enterprise-grade analyst layer for the buy and sell side.
