About Gradient
We help teams hire and grow AI-fluent talent.
AI fluency is becoming one of the most important skills at work. Teams need a better way to understand it, in the people they hire and the people they already have.
Hi, we're MB and Ashwanth.
We are the co-founders of Gradient, and a husband-and-wife team. We started Gradient while getting our MBA degrees at Harvard.
We kept seeing the same thing from two sides. Hiring was getting harder as AI reshaped how candidates apply and how work gets done. And AI fluency was clearly becoming a core skill, with no good way to measure it or help people build it.
We are bringing together what we learned on both sides of that problem, from leading recruiting at Bain to working on learning tools at Codecademy, to help teams understand where their AI fluency stands and move up the slope to better outcomes.


Where we're headed
Help teams understand AI fluency, and move up the slope.
Gradient exists to help individuals and teams understand where their AI fluency stands today, and grow it through both hiring and upskilling. The goal is not more AI usage. It is better judgment, better work, and better outcomes.
See how candidates actually work with AI.
We'll walk you through a real assessment, show you a candidate report, and get you live in a few hours.
