Research abstract

INFLO converts digital documents to audio that professionals can consume and control as if they had a keyboard and a mouse, hands and screen free. Now professionals can use voice to highlight, cut and paste, tag, review key points and collaborate wherever and whenever they so choose. All work is synced to the desktop and Alexa, making INFLO the world’s most powerful learning and productivity ecosystem.  The INFLO platform provides powerful analytics to understand content consumption and engagement. It is critical for the United States Space Force to develop and distribute its own service and domain specific doctrine that communicates how it is organized, its operational best practices, and guiding principles.  The consumption and retention of this information by Guardians will be critical to the overall success of the USSF.  Making this doctrine available in interactive audio opens a whole new world of opportunity for communicating and educating Guardians. Top-tier global banks Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan are using INFLO’s proprietary interactive audio to drive higher engagement with their research content. The annual contract value for each account is greater than $100K. Morgan Stanley has reached 46 thousand monthly active users and continues to grow at a rapid pace. The addition of foreign languages is helping drive accelerated growth. INFLO has raised $5 million dollars to date. Investors include Amazon’s Alexa Fund, Arizona State University, Techstars, Conrex LLC, The Connor Group, and senior financial services executives. INFLO’s current customers include Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. INFLO is working with the University of Texas’s Texas Venture Labs to accelerate the adoption of INFLO technology in the financial services sector. Amazon is an INFLO investor and is working with the team to release the INFLO platform on the AWS marketplace, which serves over 310,000 companies globally.  The INFLO platform’s architecture, security, reliability and performance passed rigorous testing by Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and Amazon. Seattle-based INFLO engineers work directly with Amazon and AWS engineers to continually improve the platform’s speed, security and scalability. INFLO has strong corporate investors with Amazon, TechStars, and Arizona State University. INFLO has a strategic partnership with AWS to deliver custom voices for text to audio publishing. Our proprietary text to speech technology was deemed best in class by leading investment banks and financial service firms.
