Transformational AI Leader Gopi Prashanth Joins Auger

Gopi Prashanth

Chief AI and Agentic Scientist

LinkedIn

Gopi will be instrumental in building Auger’s Supply Chain LLM and delivering agentic solutions for our customers—unlocking the power of their systemic data. He brings decades of experience at the intersection of deep learning, systems architecture, and real-world physical processes. Most recently, he was a key leader on the AI initiatives at Salesforce, advancing the shift from automation to truly autonomous agentic systems capable of planning, reasoning and acting in complex enterprise environments. Before that, he pioneered computer vision and edge AI systems at Amazon Go and Dash Carts, scaling them from concept to production across hundreds of retail locations. 

At Auger, Gopi is joining our technical leadership team at a pivotal moment as we get ready to deploy our product to the first customers early this summer. He’ll lead efforts to embed intelligence into our core OS—designing agentic systems that serve as incredible virtual team members helping supply chain leaders take control of their supply chain’s planning and execution all on a single pane of glass. He embodies our principles of Defaulting to Bold and Hunting the Horizon in both word and action and we are excited for what is coming for customers as a result.   

A Word from Gopi 

“I’m thrilled to be joining Auger! What pulled me in? The crystal clear and wildly ambitious mission: to rewire how businesses run by converting scattered supply chain data, tribal knowledge, and legacy workflows into a cohesive, agentic operating system. This isn’t just about building cool AI (though we are doing that too). It’s about crafting a system that actually understands and adapts to the messy, real-world needs of operators, and solving high-friction problems with speed, precision, and scale. The team’s obsession with impact and customer-first thinking is rare, and I can’t wait to help make this vision real. Let’s redefine the future of supply chains, through the power of agents.”
