We are excited to share that StepFunction is joining Gruve.
This decision didn’t come from momentum alone. It came from a truth we’ve lived with our customers for years: the promise of “AI-driven decision making” often collapses in the real world. Leaders are left reacting to unforeseen events like churn spikes or revenue misses because their answers are trapped inside fragmented, dirty data and fragile pipelines.
We built StepFunction to fix that. We convert data chaos into decision leverage. Now, by joining the Gruve family, we are gaining the scale and expertise to bring this vision to enterprises globally.
Why we’re joining Gruve
Gruve is a leader in transforming Enterprise Services. They operate on the premise that Machine Learning, Data Science, and AI are not just experimental technologies, but the fundamental drivers of modern business efficiency. Their goal is identical to ours: to move beyond hype and harness these advancements to deliver superior efficiency and tangible outcomes for clients.
That’s why joining Gruve makes sense for us. While we provide the capability to understand business data, Gruve provides the service delivery excellence, software development expertise, and operational scale required to transform large enterprises.
The Power of the “Data Science Coworker”
Most AI struggles because it is “domain-blind”. It doesn’t understand the specific nuances of a business. We solved this with our proprietary Knowledge Graph, which captures industry logic, jargon, and business rules. What we are bringing to the market with Gruve is unique: Daisee, the world’s first business data science agent.
This allows us to “reskill” Daisee—taking her from Banking to SaaS to Manufacturing in a matter of hours. For various Agent Platforms to succeed in delivering the business outcome, this is key.
By integrating this technology into Gruve’s service offerings, we can now offer clients much better business outcomes aided by the Data Science Coworker. Daisee works seamlessly with the client’s data cloud, standardizes metrics, and resolves entities to create a pristine, AI-ready repository.
Whether solving for customer churn reduction, payment fraud detection, or inventory optimization, the path from raw data to recommendation is now shorter, faster, and more robust.
Our Leadership’s New Chapter
To ensure the seamless integration of our technology, the StepFunction founders are taking key roles within Gruve:
- Navneet Singh, our Co-founder & CEO, is joining Gruve’s Data & AI team. He will lead the strategy for deploying our Knowledge Graph technology and Data Science Coworker across Gruve’s client portfolio.
- Tej Kohli, our Co-founder & Chief Customer Officer, is joining Gruve’s Sales team. He will continue to focus on aligning our technical capabilities with the strategic business outcomes that Gruve’s customers demand.
Looking Ahead
We want to thank our customers and partners who trusted us to help them “get their data house in order”. The journey is just beginning. With Gruve, we are ready to scale the autonomous enterprise and deliver on the true promise of AI.
Gruve + StepFunction: Better Outcomes, Delivered.
