Aito is a predictive database that uses existing relational datasets for predictions and recommendations. It allows you to validate ideas, build prototypes and use in production before having to invest heavily in AI projects first. It has been used by large corporations (e.g. IKEA) and high-growth startups (e.g. Freska), backed by Risto Siilasmaa (F-Secure Founder, Nokia Chairman) and featured on TechCrunch (May 2019).
