AI infrastructure

Tavus

At Tavus, we're building the human layer of AI. Our mission is to make human-AI interaction as natural as face-to-face interaction, enabling the human touch where it has been previously unscalable. We achieve this through pioneering research in multi-modal AI models for human perception and understanding, combined with state-of-the-art human avatar rendering and conversation models that we make accessible to developers worldwide. Our models and APIs power everything from text-to-video AI avatars

Unsiloed AI

match 96

AI teams spend 6+ months building document workflows, yet fewer than 10% ever reach production. Generic LLM parsers and OCR collapse on multimodal documents with text, tables, images, and charts. Poor parsing and suboptimal chunking cripple RAG pipelines and downstream automation. Unsiloed AI has built state-of-the-art vision models which serves as the infrastructure layer for turning unstructured data into structured, queryable, and LLM-ready assets. Our APIs are already parsing hundreds of tho

MindPortal

match 77

MindPortal is a pioneering AI research company advancing human-AI interaction by enabling people to communicate with computers and AI assistants purely through thought. As an AI company, we focus exclusively on model development rather than hardware. Our models are designed to be general-purpose, adaptable across a wide range of applications. Our flagship development, MindSpeech, is the first supervised AI model to translate imagined speech into text, enabling direct thought-to-language communic

Trident Bioscience

match 64

Trident Bioscience builds tools to expedite the discovery and optimization of useful proteins. Our technology first applies predictive models of protein structure and function to generate sets of potentially active protein sequences. We then apply our state-of-the-art sequence optimization algorithm to design gene libraries capable of testing these candidates extremely quickly and affordably. By combining these technologies, we're closing the design-build-test loop of protein optimization and cu
