Personal and enterprise AI platform with emotional intelligence APIs
Inflection builds conversational AI products (Pi consumer app and enterprise LLM platform) on a stack optimized for low-latency inference at scale—Next.js, React, iOS native, Python backends, Kubernetes, and RAG. Active projects span mobile AI integration, real-time inference infrastructure, and conversational UX, while pain points center on GPU reliability, serving millions concurrently, and latency in production. The hiring mix (10 engineers, mostly senior+ level) reflects infrastructure and systems maturity over growth hiring.
