About C3.ai, Inc.

C3.ai, Inc. is a U.S.-based enterprise software company focused on artificial intelligence and listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AI in the United States. Headquartered in Redwood City, California, the company was founded in 2009 by Thomas M. Siebel. Over time, C3 AI has evolved from an early emphasis on data infrastructure, IoT, and predictive analytics into a broader enterprise AI vendor built around large-scale, mission-critical business applications. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1577526/000162828020016443/c3ais-1.htm?utm_source=openai)) From an investor perspective, C3 AI sits at the intersection of SaaS, AI application development platforms, and vertical enterprise software. Its product set is organized around three core families: the C3 Agentic AI Platform, an end-to-end platform for developing, deploying, and operating enterprise AI applications; C3 AI Applications, a portfolio of industry-specific applications targeted at defined operational use cases; and C3 Generative AI, a suite of enterprise-oriented generative AI offerings. In 2026, the company also introduced C3 Code, a development product designed to accelerate the creation of production-grade AI applications.

The company positions its software for organizations in sectors such as defense, energy, manufacturing, utilities, healthcare, retail, telecommunications, and transportation. This specialization gives C3 AI exposure to large, complex digital transformation projects rather than lighter-weight point solutions, which can be attractive if execution is strong, but also implies longer sales cycles and a heavier dependence on large enterprise conversions.

Its principal executive offices are in Redwood City, California, and its customer footprint spans both U.S. commercial and public-sector organizations as well as international deployments through partners and direct enterprise engagements. The company’s recent disclosures continue to emphasize federal adoption, defense-related programs, and selective expansion in commercial accounts.

In May 2026, C3 AI announced that Thomas M. Siebel had resumed the role of Chief Executive Officer amid a leadership transition and operational restructuring. The company also released preliminary fiscal 2026 results, reporting full-year revenue of $250.3 million and still-significant operating losses, while highlighting a large cash position and a renewed focus on efficiency and growth. Earlier 2026 updates and fiscal-quarter releases pointed to deal activity in federal, defense, and industrial accounts, reinforcing the view that C3 AI is trying to sharpen its go-to-market model around large enterprise deployments.
