About Adapter
Adapter is an AI startup that provides a "Cognition API" — a cognition layer that sits alongside AI models, continuously reading, connecting, and comprehending a customer's data so that AI agents and apps can give structured, cited, and nuanced answers instead of starting every query from scratch. It is positioned to help companies build new AI products, improve existing ones, or get accurate answers from their own data while keeping that data safe from large model providers like OpenAI.</description>
