    Phind
    Shut down

    Jan 2026

    Phind, a developer-focused AI answer engine that paired live web search with code-aware models, shut down on January 16, 2026 — abruptly, with no sunset period and just over a month after raising $10M. User data was deleted on January 30. As general-purpose foundation models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) folded web search and coding help into their core products, a standalone developer answer engine lost its differentiator.

  • Cruise
    Cruise
    Shut down

    Dec 2024

    Cruise was the GM-funded autonomous driving company that operated robotaxis in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin. After an October 2023 incident in which a Cruise vehicle dragged a pedestrian 20 feet, the company suspended California operations and entered a year of regulatory and leadership crisis. GM announced the full wind-down of the robotaxi program in December 2024, citing $10 billion in cumulative losses. The remaining technology was folded into GM's consumer ADAS efforts rather than run as an independent service.

  • Forward Health
    Forward Health
    Shut down

    Nov 2024

    Forward Health was the AI-augmented primary care clinic chain founded in 2016 by Adrian Aoun (ex-Google, founder of Wavii). It reached a $1B+ valuation around 2021 by combining physical clinics with AI diagnostic tools. CarePods — self-service AI clinic kiosks — launched in 2023 to mixed reception and never scaled. Forward shut down all operations in November 2024, with Aoun citing operational complexity and inability to reach profitability. The shutdown became the canonical example of why AI primary care models that include physical clinics face economics that pure-software AI avoids.

  • Olive AI
    Olive AI
    Shut down

    Oct 2023

    Olive AI was the healthcare automation startup that hit a $4B valuation in mid-2021 — the highest-valued healthcare AI company at peak hype. Founded by Sean Lane in 2012 in Columbus, Olive offered RPA-based automation for hospital revenue cycle work. Aggressive M&A expanded surface area faster than the tech could deliver. By 2022 customers complained 'Olive AI' was RPA marketing rather than real AI. The company sold core revenue-cycle assets to Waystar and Humata Health in October 2023 and wound down. Olive became the canonical example of the 2023 healthcare AI valuation reset.

  • Babylon Health
    Babylon Health

  • Embark Trucks
    Embark Trucks
    Shut down

    Mar 2023

    Embark Trucks was the autonomous trucking company that went public via SPAC in November 2021 at ~$5B valuation, founded in 2016 by Alex Rodrigues and Brandon Moak (both Thiel Fellows). The company targeted Level 4 trucking on US interstates and ran a test fleet Houston-to-El Paso. Despite the SPAC valuation, Embark never generated meaningful revenue and laid off 70% of staff in late 2022. By March 2023 it wound down entirely. Remaining IP was sold to Applied Intuition. Embark became a flagship example of SPAC AV companies whose tech never reached commercial deployment.

  • Argo AI
    Argo AI
    Shut down

    Oct 2022

    Argo AI was the autonomous driving software company that Ford and VW jointly invested ~$7B in across six years. Founded in 2016 by Bryan Salesky (ex-Google) and Peter Rander (ex-Uber ATG), Argo developed Level 4 tech and ran robotaxi pilots in Pittsburgh, Miami, and Austin. Ford and VW jointly pulled funding in October 2022, citing that the timeline to commercial Level 4 exceeded their planning windows. Ford spun up Latitude AI internally to absorb some Argo talent and refocus on Level 2/3 driver-assistance for production vehicles.

  • Pornpen
    Pornpen
    Shut down

    pornpen.ai no longer resolves.

Reviews still surface online but the product is unreachable.
