The $15 million raised will be used to further develop Trajectory's platform, enabling broader deployment of its continual learning technology. The company aims to expand its collaborations with AI-native businesses and enhance its capabilities in training agentic AI models.
By integrating continual learning into AI systems, Trajectory seeks to ensure that every user interaction contributes to the ongoing improvement of AI models, positioning its platform as a valuable tool for companies looking to optimize their AI-driven products.
