Deep dives

The Genesis of Contextual AI

Contextual AI was founded to address the reliability issues in production-grade AI applications, particularly following the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT. The team, with over a decade of experience in deep learning, identified the significant gap between the capabilities of AI technology and its application in real-world scenarios, particularly in production environments. They recognized that while models can perform well in controlled conditions, they often fail when faced with production-level challenges due to issues like prompt engineering. Contextual AI aims to create systems that can automatically optimize themselves over time to achieve the necessary level of accuracy and trustworthiness required for enterprise deployment.
