Prentis is a San Francisco AI research lab building 'computer-use' models - systems trained to operate software the way a person does, so AI agents can carry out routine office tasks across documents and business applications on their own. It launched in April 2026 and is led by CEO Ritankar Das, who also runs the AI holding company Titan; his co-founders are Reid Hoffman, a LinkedIn co-founder and Greylock investor, and Mark Pincus, a co-founder of Zynga. The team has grown past 25 people, drawing researchers away from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta, Tencent, and Alibaba, and the company points to early commercial traction of up to $50M in signed customer contracts across healthcare services and manufacturing. Reporting in July 2026 placed Prentis in talks to raise about $100M at roughly a $1B valuation; because that round has not closed, no confirmed valuation is recorded in the structured fields here.
