Based on recent interviews with venture capitalists and tech executives in the AI space, here are seven promising startups that are making waves of their own in Silicon Valley and beyond.

DeepL is not exactly an overnight AI sensation. The six-year-old German company is an advanced subscription-based service that lets users take advantage of in-house AI translation technology.
