Adept is an enterprise AI platform that automates complex, multi-step workflows across software applications by directly perceiving and acting on user interfaces like a human would. It uses proprietary models to locate elements on webpages, reason about documents, and execute end-to-end business processes—from data extraction and form population to license application processing. The platform is designed for enterprises seeking to offload repetitive tasks while keeping humans in the loop for critical decisions.

Imbue builds foundation models optimized for reasoning to power robust AI agents that can code, understand goals, and work autonomously. The company takes a full-stack approach—training custom large language models (>100B parameters), developing agentic systems, and building infrastructure—rather than relying on third-party models. With $232M in funding and a $150M Dell partnership for a dedicated 10,000 H100 GPU cluster, Imbue is positioning itself as an independent player in AI agent development, not competing directly with foundation model companies but complementing the broader AI ecosystem.
