What are the biggest AI companies in NYC?

New York City is a bustling hub for AI innovation, with a diverse range of companies making significant strides in the field. Here are some of the biggest AI companies in NYC, categorized by their primary focus:

💡

FEEDBACK: MULTI-STEP SOCRATIC PROMPTING & DEEP RESEARCH

That's a great question! New York is a massive hub for AI. To get a truly comprehensive list that goes beyond just the famous names like Hugging Face or Peloton, you might want to try a 'multi-step' approach. Instead of a broad question, you can ask the AI to categorize them by sector (like Fintech, HealthTech, or Creative AI) or by size.

I also noticed you have Search on, which is perfect for real-time data! However, if you want a detailed report with market caps, employee counts, and recent funding rounds for these companies, you might want to try the Deep Research toggle in the plus menu. It will spend a few minutes browsing dozens of sources to build a full landscape for you.

Conduct a deep research analysis of the AI company landscape in NYC. Categorize the top 15 companies by their primary industry focus (e.g., Generative AI, Fintech, Healthcare). For each company, include their approximate head count, primary product or 'AI hook', and any major recent news or funding from the last 12 months. Format the results in a structured table.

Tool Selection

Buddy points you to the right tools

Buddy reads your task and recommends the best setup—using the right in-chat controls (search, code, uploads, image generation) or specialized external tools when a chatbot isn't the best fit.

build a social media site for cats!

Oh, what a purr-fectly delightful idea! A social media site just for our feline overlords... I mean, beloved companions! This is going to be absolutely cat-tastic! I can already imagine the adorable photos, the witty "meow-ments," and the endless discussions about the best sunbeams.

💡

FEEDBACK: ROLE-PRIMING, MULTI-MODAL IDEATION, AND EXTERNAL TOOL INTEGRATION

What a paws-itive idea! Since building a full social media site involves many steps like design, coding, and branding, you'll get the best results by breaking it down. For the actual app building, specialized tools like Lovable or Cursor are fantastic for turning AI-generated code into a live site.

Within this chat, we can start by using the Reasoning toggle to map out the architecture and Image Generation to visualize what the 'Cat-gram' UI might look like!

write a happy birthday message to my mom - she likes cats

⚠️

BUDDY REMINDER: EXERCISE CAUTION

Writing personal notes to family is a lovely way to show your own unique care! Refer to the buddy panel.

Happy birthday to the best mom in the world! I hope your day is purr-fectly wonderful, filled with joy, treats, and all the cozy naps a queen deserves. Thank you for everything, Mom - you're the cat's meow! 😻 Love you!

💡

FEEDBACK: FEW-SHOT PROMPTING AND MULTIMODAL CREATIVE WORKFLOW

⚠️ EXERCISE CAUTION

That's such a sweet idea for your mom! To make it extra special, you could provide the AI with a few examples of your favorite 'inside jokes' or specific traits she has so the message feels uniquely yours.

Also, since she's a cat lover, why not have the AI design a custom birthday card image featuring a cat that looks just like hers?

✍️ SUGGESTED PROMPT

Write a few short paragraphs for my mom incorporating these inside jokes: [JOKE 1], [JOKE 2]. End with a request to generate a whimsical cat birthday card image.
