  • NEU AI Inc.

    Enterprise software

    NEU AI Inc. provides a decision control layer for artificial intelligence systems, ensuring that AI-driven actions are verified and governed before execution. Smiley has a two-decade background in IT architecture, with leadership roles at Google (Vertex, Gemini), DeepMind, and Microsoft, where he led digital transformations and large-scale cloud projects. The leadership team is composed of operators and system architects with experience in environments where decisions have significant consequences. The company's core product is NEUCORE OS, an AI Decision Operating System and control layer. It operates between AI models—such as those from OpenAI, Google, and AWS—and enterprise systems like CRM, ERP, and financial workflows. NEUCORE OS intercepts AI-generated outputs and determines whether an action should be executed, escalated for human review, or blocked based on established policies, context, and governance requirements. This system is designed to address the enterprise need for trust, control, validation, and governance as AI transitions from generating information to taking real-world actions. NEU AI's platform is model-agnostic and provides several key functions: decision validation before execution, runtime control over AI actions, policy-driven governance, and complete auditability with traceable decision records. For every action it routes, the system generates a signed, audit-ready decision record, which includes the specific rule that authorized the action. This capability is particularly relevant for clients in high-stakes, regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where compliance and operational control are critical. The business model is focused on enabling enterprises to safely deploy AI in production at scale, turning AI insights into governed actions that can drive revenue, reduce costs, and mitigate risk.
