Timeline
Origins
Layered began based on a series of ongoing conversations between the co-founders on the technology gap in the urban development and humanitarian sectors.
Advent of LLM technology
With the release of OpenAI first Large Language Model, we recognized the possible value that could emerge for the social and environmental development sectors and developed our first AI pilot with the Mayor of London.
Partnership phase
With the improvement in LLMs, agent-chain technology became viable for automating complex tasks, beginning our partnership phase with multilaterals to build custom automated agent chains.
Going forwards
We aim to integrate learnings from our partnerships into a broader platform that will scale and increase the accessibility of proven agent chains to more organizations, whatever their size.
