Datavault AI Expands AI Agent Commercialization with IBM watsonx.ai
Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), a prominent player in AI data experience, valuation, and monetization, has announced the expanded commercialization of its flagship AI agents, DataScore and DataValue, which are built with IBM watsonx.ai. This strategic move is poised to accelerate the adoption of AI-powered data monetization across various industries.
As a Platinum partner in IBM’s Partner Plus program, Datavault AI will receive significant support from IBM, including dedicated AI engineering talent and deep technical expertise over multiple years. This collaboration aims to enhance Datavault’s offerings and global scalability for its data monetization platform across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. IBM will also work with Datavault’s sales force and partner network to boost customer engagement.
Datavault AI’s DataScore is a patented AI-driven tool for scoring and risk analysis that assesses data quality and ensures compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA. DataValue, also patented, is an AI-driven pricing engine that assigns real-world financial valuations to enterprise data, fostering new liquidity and trading opportunities. These agents are designed to help customers streamline enterprise financial modeling, risk assessment, and pricing strategies.
The partnership is strategically timed, aligning with industry projections that generative AI could add between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion annually across key business applications, making AI-driven automation a significant investment frontier. The global data monetization market itself is experiencing robust growth, with a projected increase of $8.03 billion from 2024-2028, driven by the widespread adoption of AI and digital transformation. Experts also project the market to reach $14.4 billion by 2032, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate of 16.6% from 2024 to 2032.
IBM watsonx.ai is an integrated AI development studio that simplifies and scales the building and deployment of AI solutions, offering APIs, tools, customizable models, and flexible runtimes for various environments. It provides a comprehensive suite of developer-focused capabilities, including preconfigured SDKs, agentic workflows, and advanced tuning methods, supporting the development of AI agents that can access real-time data and invoke business logic.
Datavault AI’s broader AI-powered ecosystem also includes Data Vault Bank, a Web 3.0-powered AI engine currently being built with IBM and expected to launch in October 2025. This engine will convert enterprise data into structured, tradable assets. The company has recently secured several patents, including a carbon credit tokenization patent, and is focusing on establishing innovative marketplaces for trading stablecoins and implementing high-performance computing and AI development strategies in Q3 2025.
While Datavault AI is a micro-cap company with a current valuation of $55 million and its stock has seen a decline of 68% year-to-date, analysts project significant revenue growth ahead, with forecasts suggesting over 400% growth in the current fiscal year. The company’s financial health score remains weak according to InvestingPro analysis, but the IBM partnership is seen as a strategic inflection point for Datavault AI, positioning it to scale its data monetization platform globally. This collaboration is expected to generate initial revenue in 2025, with potential expansion into product offerings by 2026.
