The Problem

Companies adopted AI but costs exceed projections and accuracy disappoints. Root cause: AI operates without enterprise context, generating redundant API calls and repeated queries to piece together answers that should be obvious.

Why Now

Enterprise AI cost optimization is the top IT budget priority in 2026. Glean validated the market globally at $300M ARR — regional equivalents for markets with distinct enterprise tool stacks remain wide open.
