DevAI

DevAI Solutions Inc., operating as DevAI, is a venture-backed company founded in 2024 by former Cisco Systems Inc. executives, CEO Susie Wee and CTO Edwin Zhang. The duo brings extensive experience from their time at Cisco, where Wee was the senior vice president and CTO of the DevNet developer platform, and Zhang served as the director of software development and user experience for the same platform. Their shared history includes a decade of building products together, with Wee notably growing the DevNet community to nearly a million members.

The Palo Alto-based company positions itself in the $2.5 trillion IT software and services market, aiming to alleviate the significant operational burden on IT professionals, who often spend up to 80% of their time on routine maintenance. DevAI addresses this inefficiency with its flagship product, the Network Intelligence Engine. This platform utilizes agentic AI to automate and streamline IT operations by integrating with a company's existing, often siloed, IT management tools. By analyzing internal data, industry best practices, and institutional knowledge, the engine provides actionable recommendations to IT teams.

DevAI's first specialized agent built on this engine is named Neo. Neo is designed to assist with IT planning, incident response, cybersecurity, and compliance through a conversational chat interface. The system aims to reduce the mean time to identify and resolve incidents, with the company claiming it can lower associated costs by 40% to 70% per ticket. The underlying technology appears to leverage large language models enhanced with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to process and analyze customer-specific data.

The company's business model centers on providing these AI-powered solutions to enterprise IT teams. DevAI is currently engaged in customer discovery and design partnerships with several enterprises to refine its product based on real-world applications. In February 2025, DevAI announced it had raised $6 million in an oversubscribed seed funding round led by Emergence Capital, with participation from Pear VC, Base10, and Benchstrength. This followed a prior $1 million pre-seed investment from Pear VC. The capital is intended to scale the product for broader enterprise deployment and expand its user base.
