RelationalAI

Teaching AI to reason like you and your business do.

Our origins

We’ve spent decades building intelligent applications—fraud detectors, pricing engines, supply-chain planners—that drove value for but demanded heroic effort. Each project meant stitching together transaction systems, analytics engines, graph databases, and rule frameworks, each with its own data model and programming quirks. The result was soul-crushing complexity: more than 80% of the work went into glue instead of insight.

From those hard lessons came a simple belief: it shouldn’t take an entire company to create one good decision engine. It should be normal, not heroic, to encode intelligence into software. Systems that anticipate problems and opportunities should be as easy to build as dashboards that describe the past.

What we've built

Cloud data platforms delivered scale. LLMs unlocked language and general knowledge. RelationalAI adds the missing piece—business understanding—so AI can help run a company, not just chat about it.

Our Snowflake-native system learns your business logic once and applies it everywhere. It fine-tunes LLMs securely inside your data cloud, enriches them with semantic models and relational knowledge graphs, and combines them with predictive, prescriptive, and rule-based reasoning. No fragile data syncs, no impedance mismatch—just a single relational foundation that supports zero-copy cloning, versioning, time-travel, and consumption pricing.

When you correct it, the system updates its understanding permanently. No retraining. No drift. Just expertise that compounds across your organization.

Our team
