What if you could get a $100K domain name for your startup…

Complimentary (FREE), for 10 years?

Premium domain names are a founder's secret weapon. They signal credibility, stick in investors' heads, and build brand trust from day one. But the best names on .com don't come cheap — we're talking $100K+ on the aftermarket, real seed money that never makes it to your product.

.Tech is flipping that script. They're sponsoring premium .tech domains — complimentary for 10 years — for serious founders building in AI, SaaS, devtools, Web3, and beyond. Names like host.tech, bot.tech, dev.tech — handed to the right builders, no strings attached.

Keep your seed money. Get the name you deserve. → startup.tech

Yoav realized that companies were struggling that businesses were struggling to implement and adopt AI. In particular, he noticed that there was risk in publicly sharing your data.

Robert observed the release of the first version of Devin a few years ago, which was very exciting to see agent driven development.

https://codestory.co/podcast/bonus-tobias-tobi-konitzer-growthloop/

For the last 10 years of his career, Tobi has been chasing optimized decisioning and outcomes using AI. Five months ago, he decided to join his current venture, and use AI to shift the conversation from “tooling for marketers” to using AI to build an autonomous decisioning system, that learns and improves over time.

Let’s face it… security teams are drowning in alerts from dozens of disconnected tools and data sources - requiring a lot of context switching and stitching together of information. What’s more is this added workload is leading to burnout and a shortage of trained cybersecurity professionals.

So instead of building another “shiny box”… Andesite is building the Human-AI SOC to truly augment human expertise.

Introducing the Human-AI SOC & The Decision Layer

Andesite is not building yet another tool joining the SOC maze. They’re delivering a new product category – a human-AI collaboration layer operating above, beyond, across, around, and with the existing data sources, tools and platforms. We call it the decision layer. It’s a space where analysts can access, visualize, and work with all the elements and data feeds in their security ecosystem as it is.

• AI connects the security ecosystem and analyzes structured and unstructured data where it is… no ETL required.

• The decision layer surveys the incessant wave of alerts, and automates investigations & enrichment to deliver relevant, contextualized and actionable insights. .

• The Human-AI SOC manages high-volume alerts, analyzing threat intelligence in minutes, accelerating time to detect, investigate and repond.

• It connects silos, accelerates workflows, and reduces inefficiencies across data sources, tools and platforms in the security ecosystem – putting humans at the helm throughout the process.

All of this enables the SOC team to focus on what’s meaningful, analyze the evidence, manage the case, and deliver effective responses, FAST.

Enhancing, Not Replacing Cybersecurity Professionals

Andesite is here to empower security teams with advanced technologies that deliver better outcomes and make their work and lives better. Our defenders are hard-working, exhausted, unsung heroes. The goal of Andesite’s AI is to lift cybersecurity professionals out of the menial and into the meaningful - enabling them to focus on the threats that matter most.
