Powering the next generation of applications
We’re a team of builders and engineers delivering a unified data and AI engine that enables developers to deploy intelligent applications anywhere.
Our mission
With Spice AI, developers no longer need to be data or AI, or ML experts to build AI-driven software. Our mission is to help every developer leverage the latest technology and infrastructure to build the next generation of applications.
Our vision
We believe AI-driven applications will have a profoundly positive impact on the way businesses operate and how we all live. Our vision is to enable and accelerate the creation of these applications to improve outcomes for businesses and individuals alike.
Meet the founders
Spice AI’s founders have spent years building developer platforms, distributed systems, and cloud-native services at a global scale. They bring firsthand experience of the challenges developers face and a shared commitment to solving them.
Over the last 15 years, Luke has brought together the best builders and engineers across the globe to create developer-focused experiences through tools and technologies used by millions worldwide. Before founding Spice AI, Luke was the founding manager and co-creator of Azure Incubations at Microsoft, where he led cross-functional engineering teams to create and develop technologies like Dapr.
Phillip has spent a decade building some of the largest distributed systems and big data platforms used by millions worldwide. Before co-founding Spice AI, Phillip was both an engineering manager and IC working on distributed systems at GitHub and Microsoft. Phillip has contributed to services developers use every day, including GitHub Actions, Azure Active Directory, and Visual Studio App Center.
