What We Do
Knowledge Graphs without Compromises
At RelationalAI, we are building the world’s fastest, most scalable, most expressive, most open relational knowledge graph management system (RKGMS), built on top of the world’s only complete relational reasoning engine that uses the knowledge and data captured in enterprise databases to learn and reason.
The results are stunning.
World-class talent driving knowledge graph innovation
We believe that future enterprise systems will be built with relational knowledge graphs as a foundation and that each component of the system will either be learned (via machine learning) or declared (via a reasoner).
The days of instructing the computer, step-by-step, on how to perform a task will be behind us.
Systems built this way, with fewer compute and human resources will increase margins, accelerate growth, and strengthen defensive moats.
At RelationalAI, we have brought together a group of leading researchers, data scientists, computer scientists and software engineers with extensive experience applying novel technologies to a wide range of complex problems in multiple industries.
Our team benefits from this unique combination of in-house expertise and active collaboration with the world’s foremost research institutions in areas ranging from machine learning and operations research to databases and programming languages. This collaboration regularly yields award-winning publications at the most respected academic conferences and journals.
