Builds ready-made AI apps for industry and defense

C3.ai builds software that large companies and government agencies use to create and run AI applications, and it sells ready-made AI apps for industries such as manufacturing, energy, and defense. When it listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2020 under the ticker AI, its shares more than doubled on the first day. Its platform pulls data from business systems and equipment sensors into one shared model, and its apps predict machine failures, plan inventory, and schedule production. Customers pay mainly through subscriptions, and its C3 Code tool builds apps from plain-English requests. Tom Siebel, who earlier founded Siebel Systems and sold it to Oracle, started C3.ai in 2009, and it is based in Redwood City, California.
