Contextual AI Platform

Build and deploy AI agents that search enterprise documents and data, extract information, and produce cited answers.

In inglese

Contextual AI Platform helps teams build agents and workflows for technical and other knowledge-intensive tasks. It connects to documents, databases, media, APIs, and MCP tools; extracts structured information; searches and reranks relevant content; and generates answers with citations and document bounding boxes.

Developers can use APIs, SDKs, or a visual builder, while organizations can deploy through Contextual SaaS, dedicated cloud environments, or private VPCs. Pricing is usage-based for on-demand access, while Enterprise plans use custom pricing. Structured data ingestion and continuous ingestion require contacting sales.
