What is Sol?

Sol is an AI platform designed to help people follow through on commitments made in emails. Instead of waiting for users to create tasks or write prompts, Sol identifies commitments in emails and starts working on them.

For example, if someone promises to send an analysis, Sol can research the topic and prepare a document. If a user says they will schedule a meeting, Sol can help coordinate it. It can also prepare presentations, research information, create documents and draft replies.

Sol is designed for people who handle large volumes of email, including founders, executives, sales and marketing professionals, consultants, recruiters, and agencies.

The platform works in its own computer environment, can use a browser, and has access to more than 100 specialist skills. Users remain in control and approve the final action before anything is sent, scheduled, or shared.

Why the Funding Matters

Sol will use the new funding to expand its operations and extend general access to its platform.

The company is focused on making its proactive AI available to more users who want help turning email commitments into completed work.

Who founded Sol?

Sol was founded by Anish Karan, Prateek Srivastava, and Ranjith Nair.

The company is based in San Francisco, California, and operates under Sol Foundry Inc.

Leadership Comments

“People whose work runs through email often have to repeat themselves: first in email, then again when they ask an AI to act. There’s no good reason for that. If I’ve already said I’ll do something, there should be an AI that gets started on it, Anish Karan, CEO of Sol.

Akarsh Shrivastava, partner at General Catalyst commented: “When we first met Anish, Prateek and Ranjith, we were blown away by the impact they had made together. Anish is a second-time founder and one of the sharpest product minds we’ve worked with, turning referrals into a top growth channel for eighteen months in a market where they rarely work.”

Market and Business Growth

Sol is built for professionals whose work depends heavily on email and follow-ups.

Its platform can identify commitments in email and support the work required to complete them, including research, document creation, presentations, scheduling, and drafting replies.

Sol also has a growing library of more than 100 specialist skills and can work across the tools involved in completing a commitment.

What Happens Next?

Sol plans to expand its operations and make its platform available to a broader group of users.

The company will continue developing its proactive AI capabilities so it can identify commitments, begin the required work, and return to users for final approval.
