The serial entrepreneur says Neo solves the core problem blocking enterprise AI adoption, scattered knowledge and disconnected workflows, by making AI a participant in every process rather than a separate tool
Bhavin Turakhia, the founder behind banking software company Zeta and business email platform Titan, has launched a new enterprise AI startup called Neo, backing it with a personal investment of $30 million. The announcement came through a post on X, where Turakhia outlined both the problem Neo is designed to solve and the speed at which it was built.
The Problem Neo Is Solving
According to Turakhia, the reason behind the complications associated with enterprise AI adoption is due to the scattered nature of organisational knowledge. Generally, data is scattered across numerous tools and employees and this makes it difficult for the AI system to work efficiently without having the necessary context. Therefore, Neo’s approach to the problem is to centralise the unorganised knowledge and incorporate the AI into the workflows instead of presenting it as an external or inferior tool that needs to be remembered whenever one has to reach out for its use.
What the Platform Includes
Neo currently ships four products. Friday is an AI assistant and agent platform integrated with enterprise SaaS applications. Tasket is a task management tool that allows users to delegate work directly to AI agents. Studio is an AI-native knowledge management platform. Drive is a file sharing environment where AI agents and employees can collaborate on documents together.
The platform has already been deployed across Turakhia’s own companies, including Zeta and Titan, with a wider rollout to mid-sized enterprises planned for the coming months.
Built Fast, With a Small Team
Turakhia said a team of fewer than 20 engineers built the entire platform in under three months, claiming the startup made more progress in that window than it would have achieved in three years under conventional development conditions.
Neo has stepped into a highly competitive market along with competitors such as Google Gemini for Workspace, Microsoft Copilot, Notion AI, ClickUp, and Atlassian but with Turakhia’s success in business through exits valued at $900 million from Media.net and $160 million from Directi, the launch has considerable credibility from day one.
