Specific AI, co-founded by Cambridge-educated Yang Jinguang and headquartered in Hong Kong, was selected to present at the Startup Grind Conference 2026 in Redwood City, California. The event, which has previously hosted leaders like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, drew attention from top VCs including Sequoia Capital and a16z. Specific AI unveiled its AI Workforce Platform designed to bridge information gaps in cross-border business operations covering legal, financial, and logistics domains. The platform currently offers three specialized AI agents: AI Bid Specialist, AI Sales Assistant, and AI Risk Specialist, all powered by a proprietary database of over 100 million business records. The company's vision extends beyond individual tools toward building integrated business infrastructure for global B2B operations. In a key case study, a Fortune 500 Japanese semiconductor company deployed the AI Risk Specialist to monitor financial and legal risks across 700+ trading partners in China, providing real-time alerts to a 60-person sales and finance team and avoiding an estimated $3 million (approximately 450 million yen) in potential losses. Founded in 2024, Specific AI plans to accelerate expansion in North America and Japan.
