Founded in 2024 by Dr. Vivek Vishwakarma and Dr. Sainyam Galhotra, ThirdAI Automation builds an agentic industrial AI framework that ingests sensor data, equipment logs, service records, and technical documentation from semiconductor fabs to surface causal insights and accelerate root-cause analysis. The San Francisco–headquartered startup positions its platform as a turnkey solution for optimizing yield and reducing downtime in highly complex manufacturing settings. Its architecture emphasizes knowledge mining and automated troubleshooting, enabling engineers to isolate defects faster than with traditional analytics tools. Proceeds from its recent financing will be used to deepen product R&D, expand the engineering team, and scale go-to-market efforts globally. The company also plans to broaden deployments beyond semiconductors to adjacent industrial verticals. ThirdAI Automation operates with teams in both the United States and India and has raised $3 million to date.
