Every day, talented people walk into work and feel like theyre living in Office Space. They see whats broken — the duplicated work, the missing handoffs, the tribal knowledge locked in one persons head. They have ideas to fix it. But the organization doesnt listen, doesnt adapt, and doesnt change. So they stop trying. The enterprise stays brittle, slow, and exhausting — not because it lacks talent, but because it was never wired to learn from its own people. We started Klarity because we were those people. We spent years spotting inefficiencies, building better workflows, and watching good ideas die in bureaucracy. Every company has these change agents — people who understand how the work actually happens because they do the work. We built Klarity to finally give them the tools to act on what they see. Heres the core problem: human reasoning doesnt emit data. Someone makes a judgment call — flags a contract, routes an exception, escalates a risk — and moves on. The system records the outcome but never the thinking. That institutional instinct, the stuff that actually makes enterprises run, has never been capturable. Until now. Klarity builds what we call the Context Graph — a living map of how your enterprise actually thinks. AI observes work across every application, captures the decision logic and tribal knowledge behind it, and connects people, processes, and systems into a continuously updating intelligence layer. Then it closes the loop — surfacing opportunities and putting recommendations directly in your peoples hands. Your organization starts getting better every day, not every fiscal year. We believe the future of enterprise work isnt more consultants or bigger transformation projects. Its giving every person inside the company the instinct to adapt — and the tools to do it continuously. Thats what Klarity is building. Adaptive operations for every enterprise that wants to survive and thrive.

Tavus is a research lab pioneering human computing. We’re building AI humans: a new interface that closes the gap between us and machines, free from the friction of today’s systems. Our real-time human simulation models let machines see, hear, respond, and even look real, enabling meaningful face-to-face conversations with people. AI Humans connect and act with precision and empathy, making them capable, trusted agents. It’s the best of both worlds: the emotional intelligence of humans, with the reach and reliability of machines. They’re available 24/7, in every language, on our terms. Imagine a therapist that anyone can afford. A personal trainer that adapts to your schedule. A fleet of medical assistants that can give every patient the attention they need. Tavus: teaching machines how to be human.

Meet the worlds first AI-native sales engagement platform. RegieOne is the only all-in-one prospecting platform —where predictable rep outreach meets AI Agents. With RegieOne, the orchestration of tasks for both AI Agents and human reps happens in a single workflow, creating a prospecting experience that’s easier for reps to manage, more cost-effective for the business, and genuinely better for buyers. With RegieOne, every lead is matched to the right level of engagement — from high-converting inbounds that get a personal, rep-driven approach, to lower-tier audiences that receive thoughtful, Agent-led outreach until theyre ready. Are you ready for the next generation of sales prospecting? #AISEP
