Langdock secured $3 million to help organizations avoid LLM vendor lock-in
Langdock recently completed a successful $3 million seed funding round led by General Catalyst and European partner La Famiglia, alongside a selection of German founders and angel investors. The company develops a chat interface as an intermediary between organizations and LLM providers.
Langdock's $3 million seed funding round was led by General Catalyst and its European seed-stage partner La Famiglia. A selection of German founders and other angel investors also backed the funding round. The company works on developing a chat interface that serves as an intermediary between organizations and the different LLM providers. This allows users to leverage different models for diverse use cases without risking data safety and privacy. Part of the company's strategy stems from the fact that they are betting that users will soon look for safer LLM integrations that are regulation-compliant. This could mean operating in an environment similar to the one provided by Langdock, which is slightly more closed than standard vendor interfaces, allows the creation of prompt libraries, the usage of more than one model, and the addition of sensitive information.
Langdock also offers additional security, cloud, and on-premises solutions. The company reports it currently counts German companies Merck, GetYourGuide, HeyJobs, and Forto as customers, and that Merck has rolled out Langdock's chat interface to its 63,000 employees. It will be interesting to follow Langdock's development, seeing as it is not the only European startup looking to take over the AI assistant-intermediary space.
