Market Trends: AI Mainstreaming and Competitive Dynamics

This week’s funding news reflects the expanding breadth of AI’s application: startups like SCOREalytics and AutoDukan are targeting highly specialized verticals such as legal analytics and automotive services, while Supersonik is leading AI sales automation and Ketryx is modernizing regulated industries.
