Fleet AI
Commercial
medium confidence
Fleet AI builds high-fidelity reinforcement-learning training environments ('gyms') that replicate enterprise software such as Salesforce and Excel, plus browser/desktop workflows, so frontier AI labs and large enterprises can train and evaluate computer-use agents. It ships a Python SDK, a platform API, and the open-source 'Harbor' agent-evaluation/RL-environment tooling, pairing simulated environments with human supervision.

Buyer analysis
Best fit: A frontier lab or large enterprise that needs bespoke, high-fidelity RL environments simulating real enterprise software (CRM, spreadsheets, browser/desktop) to train and evaluate computer-use agents.
How we verified this
Confirmed Fleet AI (fleetai.com / GitHub fleet-ai / team@fleet.so / LinkedIn 'fleet-so') is the correct 'enterprise agent environments' company building RL training gyms (Salesforce/Excel/browser/desktop replicas) for frontier labs, matches the directory note; no wrong same-named entity. Biggest corrections: (1) headcount is 11-50 per LinkedIn, not the draft's 133-derived 51-200 band; (2) the company IS open source (Apache-2.0 fleet-sdk, zeroboot, harbor, harbor-train), reversing the draft's 'no'; (3) the $50M+/~$750M/BCV round is only IN TALKS, not closed, only Sequoia, Menlo, and SV Angel are confirmed investors on the official site, so BCV is labeled a prospective lead. Funding/valuation/revenue figures all rest on press (KuCoin/Phemex/The Information, the latter paywalled) plus Sacra, so kept at 'reported'. No customers are third-party-verified (only frontier-lab/enterprise buyer CATEGORY is cited), kept empty/unknown. No SOC 2 or trust page exists; security page 404s, kept unknown. founded_year 2024 and active status corroborated. Self-described team backgrounds and distributed/remote inference downgraded. Overall confidence: medium.
