"The startup began as a "weekend hackathon" sparked by a question by Cooper's mother, who is an executive coach: could an AI tool automate the drudgery of report writing so she could spend more time on the human coaching work she loves? Over the past two years, Convogo has helped "thousands" of coaches and partnered with the "world's top leadership development firms," per an email bearing news of the acquisition sent by Convogo."
"An OpenAI spokesperson said the company is not acquiring Convogo's IP or technology, but rather hiring the team to work on its "AI cloud efforts." The three co-founders - Matt Cooper, Evan Cater, and Mike Gillett - will join OpenAI as part of what a source familiar with the matter called an all-stock deal. Convogo's product will be wound down."
