Loka’s Post

Conversation over dinner just hits different 🍽 Last night Loka and Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosted an executive dinner for SaaS and ISVs at Lamb’s Club in New York. The setting was intimate, the mood collaborative and the company impressive. On the menu: GenAI. Loka's Emily Kruger spotlighted how GenAI can help speed innovation in SaaS companies, including frameworks for building a successful GenAI use case. AWS’s Akshay Patel refuted overheated claims that GenAI will kill SaaS: SaaS is more than architecture, he said, as it elevates LOBs with the best business model. GenAI adds fuel to that model. That kind of perspective-shifting insight only comes from experience. We left the night with a mutual understanding of our customers’ goals and a better sense of our partners as avid, committed leaders in cutting-edge software development. Cheers to that 🥂 Thx to David Bissainthe, Olivier Bissainthe, Ellis Wong and Christopher Yeung for attending and to Laura Su, Chinar Patel, Justin J. Leto, PE, MBA, PMP, Vaibhav Sabharwal and Franck Noel of AWS for hosting alongside Loka’s Emily Kruger, Joe Whitehouse and Sushmitha Regulapati. #GenAI #AWS #SaaS #ISV #TechOverDinner

Looking for an inside track to capturing investor attention? Loka’s GenAI experts can help 🧲 Cortado, a startup disrupting the property-management status quo, came to Loka to implement GenAI into their platform and secure additional investment. 🏃 Together Loka and Cortado launched a design sprint, prototyping a variety of viable GenAI solutions. From there we developed a fully functioning MVP: an AI Copilot that automated 90% of in-app messaging, plus an interface to visually represent it. 🔒 Maintaining user trust in these automated systems is essential, so the Copilot intelligently diverts urgent matters to human assistants. With these new assets, Cortado co-founders Harry Dubke and Perry Griffith reported a 700% (🤯) increase in investor inquiries. Best of all, Amazon Web Services (AWS) generously funded part of the project cost. By empowering property managers with GenAI, Loka is helping set a new standard for intelligent rental management—and the right people are taking notice. What can we do for your business?

Curious about how top startups are already driving impact with Generative AI? This week we held a GenAI Discovery Day with Anthropic at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) office in San Francisco to show how it’s done!  📈 Our teams shared the essential steps for successful GenAI implementation, including picking the right foundation model and scaling your solutions on AWS. Startup leaders left with strategies they can immediately apply to their own companies--as well as great things to say about working with us. "In my 35 years of work experience, I haven't come across a consulting partner like Loka. They were very professional, no ego and got the project done. I just sat back and watched. I drove two hours to be here to talk about my experience with Loka." --Elton Broudy, CEO Brandcil 🙏 Loka is helping companies of all kinds accelerate with GenAI. Learn how at one of our upcoming GenAI Discovery Days! We'll be in Chicago next week and more cities across the US in the near future.

POV: You’re in the audience at the AWS Partner Summit in Toronto and AWS’ Christopher Sullivan shouts out your company from the stage 🇨🇦 😊 Yesterday Chris cited Loka’s industry-leading success rate in moving GenAI projects from POC to production and we’re STILL blushing. This is our first time at AWS Summit in Toronto but it won’t be our last. The Canadian market is well past the tipping point and Loka is ready to jump in. Great to connect AWS partners Peter Silye and Tariq Merchant with Loka’s Alicia Hernandez Lopez as well. Toronto is beautiful, the vibe is high and we’re ready to make big things happen together 🤝 Canadian business leaders and entrepreneurs: If you’re interested in not just exploring a POC but also moving it into production, get in touch to find out why we’re leading the way in successful implementations. #GenAI #AWS #Canada Amazon Web Services (AWS)
