AboutPromontory
A small firm, building the AI systems the big firms keep promising.
We are six people who used to ship software inside large companies. We left to do the same work for the businesses that actually keep the economy moving. No transformation theater, no nine-month roadmaps, no slide decks. We sit inside your business for a week, then we build the thing.
Why we exist

Enterprise AI is being built. SMB AI is being neglected. We do something about it.
The same handful of frontier labs and consultancies who built the first wave of enterprise AI are not going to show up to a thirty-person business. We thought somebody should.
