AI doesn't know your people, your culture, or what makes your business tick.

We’re here to change that. Eliza is laser focused on building an AI-enabled future. We help enterprises integrate and adopt AI to transform operations, improve productivity, and accelerate innovation.

Leadership

We created Eliza from the combination of AI product leaders and tech services entrepreneurs who came together with a shared vision of platform powered services delivery for the AI era. Collectively the team have scaled 6 startups to over 4,000 employees and $500m in revenue.

Our Mission & Values

Helping you unlock the power of OpenAI

We help organizations move faster, work smarter, and unlock new value by embedding AI into the core of how they operate.

Rethink the Possible 

We don’t settle for what is; we imagine what could be. We challenge assumptions, embrace curiosity, and design solutions that break new ground.

Win Together

We succeed as a team inside and out. We support and challenge one another, celebrate our wins, and grow together. That same spirit extends to our clients: we embed deeply, share ownership, and act as one team driving toward a shared goal.

Keep It Simple 

Complex doesn’t mean better. We strip away noise, focus on what matters, and build AI solutions that are clear, usable, and built for scale.

Extreme Ownership

We move fast, stay focused, and deliver. Real-world outcomes (not endless prototypes) are how we measure success.

Our Name

Who is Eliza?

We take our name from the very first chatbot ever created, Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1960s natural language program that opened the world’s eyes to machine conversation. What began as a pioneering experiment has become a symbol of curiosity, intelligence, and the human drive to understand machines.

At Eliza, we embrace that heritage and carry it forward, evolving the name into a living presence, our company’s collective intelligence, personality, and guiding voice. As AI accelerates toward superintelligence, Eliza is both a nod to where it all began and a force shaping where it’s going, your partner in building an AI-enabled future.
