What Contextual AI RAG does
Contextual AI is an enterprise platform for building AI agents that reason over a company's technical documentation, specifications and institutional knowledge. It targets financial services, engineering and manufacturing, and legal and professional services firms. The site names prebuilt agents, natural language prompts, a drag and drop interface and developer APIs, Agent Composer, RAG component APIs and data connectors. Outputs carry sentence level citations and bounding boxes that show where context came from, and workflows add deterministic steps and audit trails. It lists role based access control and SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR and CCPA compliance, with multi tenant SaaS, single tenant SaaS or private VPC deployment. Pricing is not published; access starts with a demo.
