Who We Are

Our Vision and Mission

We founded complemental.ai on the core believe that human and AI intelligence will be complements in hybrid, co-intelligent organizations of the future and that to leverage the full potential of AI to boost organizational productivity, a new strategy to how information flows intelligently and autonomously between humans and AI is needed.

In many companies today, knowledge is hidden away in human minds and existing data only provides a very limited source of context for AI and an inefficient way to acquire knowledge for humans as well. As existing knowledge management strategies and products have failed to address the human element, we put our heads down to rethink knowledge sharing and information flows in the age of AI and went on our mission to build a holistic end-2-end solution that optimizes information flows and the preservation of knowledge for humans and AI alike, bridging existing silos with the easiest means of sharing knowledge: through conversation.

More than just providing a product, our philosophy is to provide organizations with a strategy to maximize their productivity gains in AI and build their most important strategic asset, knowledge digitized and optimized for humans and AI to come out on top in the age of AI.
