Jylo, a rising star in the intelligent workspace sector, made its mark at WebSummit in Lisbon this November 2024. Just four months since launch, Jylo’s rapid traction and early market impact earned it a coveted spot as a Growth startup - positioning us ahead of the typical Alpha or Beta categories. Over three days, Jylo engaged with global technology innovators, prospective customers, and forward-thinking investors, cementing its reputation as a transformative force in knowledge work.

A platform challenging the status quo

WebSummit brought together tens of thousands of attendees in one of Europe’s tech capitals. For Jylo, it was an opportunity to demonstrate what’s possible when cognitive work - research, analysis, problem-solving - meets next-generation machine intelligence.

“Participating as a Growth startup at WebSummit underscored the momentum Jylo has achieved in just a few months. Meeting fellow founders, investors, and future customers helped us validate that intelligent workspaces are a new, exciting, fast growing category.” says Shawn Curran, Jylo Co-founder & CEO .

Thought leadership: The intelligent workspace

A highlight was Shawn Curran’s talk on the intelligent workspace. He challenged the traditional boundaries of knowledge management, advocating for businesses to extract, organize, and productise their collective intelligence, ensuring that AI becomes a collaborator - not a siloed replacement.

“AI is not just a tool for the individual. At Jylo, we believe it should enhance the organization’s total reasoning capacity, creating new workflows where expertise and automation are fully integrated,” Curran noted during his session.

Jylo’s presence and message resonated with attendees seeking reliable, scalable approaches to high-value cognitive tasks. The event further validated Jylo’s mission - to empower both organizations and experts to thrive in the emerging cognitive economy.

What’s next for Jylo

With momentum from WebSummit and growing market validation, Jylo is set to:

  • Expand contributor networks across key industries

  • Advance its intelligent workflow engine

  • Enable organizations to productise expertise for real-world outcomes

“Jylo represents the kind of innovation we need to bridge expertise and intelligent automation. Our approach to the next-generation knowledge workspace will reshape the future of collaborative work. This event confirmed our belief that cognitive work deserves new infrastructure and Jylo is here to build it,” added Sam Lansley, Jylo co-founder & CTO.
