iGenius – Business Development Intern

Company Overview

iGenius is a groundbreaking AI company that bridges the gap between people and their data by giving it a voice. With offices in Milan, California, London and Switzerland, we strive to open up data to all workers who need it, empower decision-making and transform business with the power of AI. We were also put in Accel’s top 9 European data & analytics companies. Founded in 2016, iGenius is growing — with around 100 team members and a Milan headquarters.

We created crystal – the first virtual advisor for data intelligence. The virtual advisor makes business data accessible and plugs the data skills gap. Putting siloed and complex data into one conversational interface, crystal answers questions and gives data-based insights via voice or easy-to-read data visualizations. These insights make advanced connections between data sources with the help of machine learning, and enrich responses with advice and proactive notifications, so you never miss important changes in your data.

A great opportunity to learn about emerging Augmented Intelligence technology. Combining big data, machine learning and natural language processing, Augmented Intelligence is the latest generation of business intelligence. It enables any company, digital native or not, to leverage its business data and make data-driven decisions quickly and effectively — a key requirement in such uncertain times.

B2B software is aging and it’s time to bring a consumer Apple-like approach to Enterprise software products. Easy-to-use experiences democratize and humanize access to information and this is exactly what businesses need to embrace data-driven decision-making across their entire organization. We like to think of crystal.ai as the iPhone of the business intelligence industry. More at https://crystal.ai/ and https://igenius.ai/
