Stellar is launching today to help companies find their competitive edge by integrating generative AI (genAI), Large Language Models (LLMs), and machine learning (ML) across all facets of business operations. A tech-enabled services leader, Stellar boasts a team of technologists and innovators who have been working intimately in AI for more than 20 years. The company helps businesses assess their AI readiness, identify and prioritize AI opportunities, and implement next-generation solutions to securely improve end-to-end operations and financial outcomes.

“Company leaders are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of genAI and want to implement these tools, but don’t know where to begin,” said Brett Flinchum, CEO of Stellar. “Stellar transforms businesses through genAI and LLMs hosted in the customer’s own environment and powered by their internal proprietary data. Our expertise, guidance, and solutions enable employees, customers, and stakeholders to achieve next-level performance, revenue acceleration, and improved customer experiences.”

Stellar’s team has vast experience working across a wide range of industries, from start-ups to large enterprises, to embed genAI into day-to-day operations. Working alongside Flinchum to launch Stellar:
