Riminder on VentureBeats

These 4 startups are changing the face of AI in 2016

According to researchers, 2016 will be the year of AI. Believed to be replacing the screen age as one of the “hot consumer trends,” the latest in AI allows for much more than robots, personal assistants, and self-driving cars.

Facebook recently announced that the company is open-sourcing its Big Sur servers designed for deep learning (i.e. voice, image, and language recognition). The move comes as no surprise. Google, IBM, and Microsoft already took decisive steps towards opening their AI technologies earlier this year.

And while tech giants in Silicon Valley are fighting over AI dominance, four startups from around the world are getting VC’s attention. As part of the Hacker Unit accelerator program — the first remote accelerator for disruptive startups — these four companies are on their way to shaping the future of AI.

Riminder is a service aiming to disrupt the HR industry and job seeking.

Using unique technology and tapping into deep learning, the application has a dual purpose: on one side, it helps individuals improve their career path thanks to the two million careers the company has analyzed. Simultaneously, Riminder allows talent managers and recruiters to leverage both internal and external data to attract relevant talent and pinpoint high potential candidates.
