Vectara developed an integrated AI Assistant/Agent solution which focuses on enterprise readiness, especially when it comes to: Accuracy (eliminating "Hallucinations"), explainability of results/actions, and secure access control. More technically, under the hood Vectara provides a serverless end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented-Generation (RAG for short) platform which combines multi-lingual hybrid (semantic+lexical) information retrieval with AI-generated responses/actions while giving developers the optionality to optimize its behavior vs messing around with its guts (analogous to giving a database a hint to change join strategy versus changing the join algorithm manually). Enterprise customers and technology partners embed Vectaras GenAI platform in their own applications through easy plug-n-play API integrations vs re-inventing the wheel by building their own do-it-yourself solutions (which are hard to maintain overtime as the models underneath keep evolving rapidly). To top it off, there is a strong focus on solution testability, scalability, reliability, availability, resilience to prompt attacks, copyright protection, and bias mitigation, ensuring that applications built on top of Vectara are trustworthy for the enterprise.

Apex.AI is a Palo Alto, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, and Gothenburg-based company developing breakthrough safe, certified, developer-friendly, and scalable software for mobility systems. ​ Our software products are based on proven open-source software, such as ROS or Eclipse iceoryx. We fork software that has been developed and proven in use by large developer communities. We then add what is missing: Functional safety, flawless performance, and support for application in commercial and safety-critical products. In order to do so, we have developed a proprietary process to rework open-source software in record time such that it conforms to the highest requirements of the applicable functional safety standard. Distinguished by our experienced and agile team, we bring in the right pedigree: Expertise in modern software engineering to build software that scales, leading know-how in software functional safety, experience bringing software to market, and twenty-plus years of experience building autonomous systems. We launched our award-winning first product Apex.Grace, formerly known as Apex.OS in 2020 and have taken it through certification in record time for launch in 2021. We enable software-defined vehicles. Learn more about us at www.apex.ai
