👁️🗨️ Investor’s perspective: “Generative AI is booming, but the demand for logic-based decision systems, the kind that drive real-world business outcomes, remains underserved. The DecisionRules team have been building in this space for years before founding the startup. With the right mix of expertise and ambition, they’re poised to, not only scale the product in the BRMS market, but also shape the future of Decision Intelligence and Intelligent Automation.” – Michal Zálešák, Managing Partner at Lighthouse Ventures

On the product side, we’re continuing to simplify and enhance decision automation, with new features, including AI-powered capabilities, on the way. Our goal is to break down the barriers that have made this technology out of reach for many businesses, and make decision automation as easy to access, afford and use as Excel or ChatGPT.” – Václav Kandrnal, CEO & Co-Founder of DecisionRules
