Jan 27 (Reuters) - Enterprise ⁠artificial intelligence ⁠software ‍provider C3.AI is in talks to merge with software company Automation Anywhere, ‍The Information reported on Tuesday, citing people ​familiar with the discussions.

If the deal materializes, Automation ​Anywhere would buy C3.AI and go public as a result, the report added.

Reuters could not immediately verify the ​report. C3.AI and Automation Anywhere did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for ​comment.

California-based C3 offers a platform that enables clients, including the ‌U.S. Air Force, to develop and operate large-scale AI applications. Its AI tools ​are used across the ⁠U.S. government as well as in the energy and manufacturing sectors.

Automation Anywhere ‌develops software to automate repetitive tasks. Private investors valued the company at $6.8 billion in 2019, according ‌to The Information report.

Reuters reported exclusively late last year ‌that C3.AI was exploring a potential sale, among other options, after its founder Thomas Siebel stepped down ‍as CEO.

C3 AI's stock has fallen more than 59% in the last ⁠one year amid worsening financial performance and uncertainty over its strategy and leadership.
