Who We Are
At RelationalAI, we’re solving one of the most important challenges in artificial intelligence: how to teach large language models the logic, semantics, and business context of the modern enterprise.
Frontier models are trained almost entirely on public data — they can speak about the world, but they don’t understand your business. We fix that.
RelationalAI has pioneered a breakthrough called Superalignment — technology that enables LLMs to learn natively from private, structured enterprise data inside the data cloud.
By combining this with relational knowledge graphs and our proprietary neuro/symbolic-relational reasoners, we deliver trustworthy decision intelligence: systems that use semantic models to truly understand how a business operates and can reason across its data to drive better outcomes.
We’re a globally distributed team of engineers, scientists, and builders redefining how AI learns from data. We believe that high-stakes decisions deserve frontier intelligence — intelligence that’s explainable, aligned, and grounded in reality.
If you’re driven by curiosity, thrive in complexity, and want to help build the system that brings true understanding to enterprise AI, you’ll feel right at home here.
