About Contextual AI
We’re revolutionizing how AI Agents work by solving AI's most critical challenge: context. The right context at the right time unlocks the accuracy and production scale that enterprises leveraging AI require. Our enterprise AI development platform sits at the intersection of breakthrough AI research and practical developer needs. Our end-to-end platform allows AI developers to easily and accurately ingest and query documents from enterprise data sources and embed retrieval results into their business workflows.
Contextual AI was founded by pioneers of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the foundational technique behind the context layer, connecting foundation models to current and relevant information. Backed by the industry's most forward-thinking venture capitalists, we’re not just participating in the enterprise AI revolution, we’re defining it. Join us in building a future where AI doesn't just answer questions—it transforms businesses.
