01 — Current focus Rebuilding companies around AI
01 Context Engine Your company's permanent memory. A single-tenant, self-hostable context layer that captures emails, calls, documents, and decisions — and serves them to any MCP-capable tool or agent. Daimon, its ambient agent, lives in the chats where your team already works and surfaces the intelligence on demand. 02 Relote Helping you forge an AI-native company. We rebuild businesses around AI, workflow by workflow: an assessment, a six-month transformation, and a Context Engine you own.
