Niche Player: Aible

Aible provides ROI-centered autoML services, as well as language and vision services.

The Pleasanton, Calif.-based company’s platform has ML, optimization, simulation, recommendation and monitoring capabilities.

All offerings are serverless-first and models can be deployed on Microsoft Azure and AWS. The platform is easy to use, guided and engaging, while allowing developers to use no-code, low-code and code-based approaches. Aible ranks last in execution on Gartner’s Magic Quadrant and near the bottom for vision.

Strength: To create AI strategies that deliver business impact, Aible starts by understanding its customers’ business goals and engaging all stakeholders. The company delivers an intuitive, end-to-end experience that is driven by data, what-if testing and scenario planning.

Weakness: Despite Aible’s growth and recognition, it is less well-funded and recognized than its larger and more established competitors. Aible’s geographic presence is limited to four offices in North America and two offices in Europe.
