We’re on a mission to put AI within reach of every person at every organization. Graft's Intelligence Layer connects company knowledge with the users who need it. It serves as the go-to interface where search, generative, and predictive AI converge to make sense of and utilize enterprise data. It's where every query returns relevant information, every search leads to discovery, and every team member can engage with the collective intelligence of the organization.
