Kepler: AI You Can Trust and Verify
At Kepler, we recognize that every AI tool comes with its challenges, particularly when it comes to data interpretation. Traditional models often guess numbers, fabricate sources, and provide inconsistent answers, which is unacceptable for professionals making multimillion-dollar decisions.
Our proprietary architecture eliminates the problem of hallucination by ensuring that AI accurately interprets intent. Deterministic code retrieves precise figures from source documents, ensuring that our model never produces a number that could be incorrect. Every output is traceable to specific filings, with transparent calculations that are defensible.
Currently operational with over 950,000 SEC filings, 14,000 companies, and 40 million documents across 27 global markets, we are trusted by firms that cannot afford to be wrong.
While our architecture is domain-independent, our initial focus is on finance—where the need for accuracy is most critical. Future expansions include healthcare, legal, and insurance sectors, utilizing the same system with new data sources. Our vision transcends a single finance product; we are constructing the verification layer for the entire AI ecosystem.
Founded by industry veterans Vinoo Ganesh (7 years at Palantir, former Head of Business Engineering at Citadel) and Dr. John McRaven (11 years at Palantir, creator of the analytics engine behind over $100 million in contracts with BP and Airbus, Ph. D. in Physics), we are backed by pioneers from OpenAI, Facebook AI Research, MotherDuck, dbt, and Outerbounds.
