TL;DR: Rishon's AI develops custom AI-enabled business apps; Rishon's runtime runs them as traditional SaaS. Target customers: SMBs.
Most businesses are stuck choosing between generic SaaS that doesn’t fit and custom software they can’t afford. They want to become future-proof by allowing AI to replace human labor for efficiency, but demand that a human remain at the helm for critical decision-making. Rishon is an AI-native platform that builds and runs custom business software purposely built to combine human and AI efforts toward the best business outcomes. Rishon is also capable of building true SaaS solutions, making it a perfect fit for entrepreneurs of all walks of life. As a SaaS platform itself, Rishon’s cost to create custom business software is a fraction of traditional custom software development, whether it uses AI or flesh-and-blood engineers.
Rishon can be described as [an AI Product Agent] + [an AI Developer Agent] + [a formal specification language] + [a Virtual Machine]. First, you create a short brief explaining what you want to build, in plain English. Then, you hand it off to the Rishon AI Product Agent, a human expert, or both. They analyze your spec, ask questions, and, at the end, produce a very detailed specification (also in English). You edit and expand it as you see fit, and then the Rishon AI Developer Agent (or a human developer, if you prefer) encodes the spec in the Rishon Language, capturing the semantics of your original idea, but — in contrast with a plain text specification — using a formal syntax, purposely designed for efficient handling by an AI, for ease of reviewing by a human. The Rishon Compiler validates the code for consistency and correctness and converts it into a Rishon Ontology Graph (a machine-friendly representation of the encoded semantics). Rishon Virtual Machine, running in the cloud, interprets the ontology and creates the necessary automations and user experiences. Rishon Virtual Machine combines traditional application functionality with AI automation (including online search, decision-making, agentic phone calls, interactions with other apps, etc.). The end result is no different from finding a SaaS solution that fully addresses your business needs, as outlined in the spec.
In tech jargon, Rishon is an application Platform as a Service (aPaaS) for AI-native custom business software, sitting at the convergence of low/no-code, AI dev tools, custom software development, and agentic software.
