Captain
Give AI agents accurate knowledge search that scales
About Captain
Captain delivers the most accurate file search engine built for AI agents. We’ll index data from the sources folks already use like S3, SharePoint, and Google Drive, and easily scale multimodal, petabyte-level content search. We’re the Snowflake for Unstructured Data.
Captain tops the Open-RAG-Benchmark with over 20% higher accuracy than standard RAG pipelines. We achieve this through robust data processing techniques like embedding normalization across modalities, ensuring that representations cluster by semantic content rather than data type.
