Anodot

Anodot is an Israeli AI company founded in 2014 by David Drai and Ira Cohen. The company is headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, with a presence in the United States. Anodot builds an autonomous analytics platform that uses machine learning to detect anomalies in business metrics and alert teams in real time — enabling companies to identify revenue-impacting issues such as billing errors, traffic drops, or fraud before they compound.

Anodot's primary product is an automated anomaly detection and business monitoring platform. It continuously analyzes large volumes of time-series data — spanning finance, telecom, ad-tech, and e-commerce verticals — and uses proprietary machine learning models to surface statistically significant deviations without requiring manual threshold configuration. The platform is sold primarily to enterprise buyers in finance, telecommunications, and digital media, typically to data, analytics, or finance operations teams. The company's technical moat lies in its patented approach to multivariate time-series anomaly detection at scale.

Anodot competes in the AIOps and business monitoring space alongside companies such as Datadog (which offers anomaly detection as part of a broader observability suite) and Dynatrace. The company has positioned itself specifically around business KPI monitoring rather than pure infrastructure observability, which differentiates it from infrastructure-focused AIOps players. Anodot acquired Pileus, a cloud cost optimization company, in 2021, expanding into FinOps — the practice of managing and optimizing cloud spend.

Anodot's core R&D operations are based in Herzliya. The founders, David Drai and Ira Cohen, are Israeli. The company typically hires in Israel for machine learning engineering, backend development, and data science roles.
