- Inworld AI T1
Formerly an NPC character engine with named Long-Term Memory; now sells realtime voice models (TTS-2, STT-1, speech-to-speech) and OpenAI-compatible open-model inference. Character/NPC memory is no longer the headline product.
- NVIDIA ReMEmbR T3
Builds long-horizon memory by captioning video segments with VILA, storing captions with timestamps + 3D position coordinates in MilvusDB. At query time, LLM iterates retrieval across text, time, and position modalities. Deployed on Nova Carter robot (Jetson Orin).
- Abridge T1
Clinician-assist ambient documentation. Source mapping: every AI-generated summary element traced back to the source utterance. Audit-and-trust layer over episodic memory. Built on proprietary 1.5M+ medical-encounter dataset.
- ASAPP GenerativeAgent T1
Treats memory as first-class architecture. Captures the digital footprint of every interaction; retrieves preference and history at engagement time. Public example: airline knowing a frequent flyer wants aisle seats with her son — preference-aware, not just history-lookup.
- BenevolentAI T1
Taken private: merged into Osaka Holdings (renamed BenevolentAI S.A.) and delisted from Euronext Amsterdam 2025-03-13. Target identification / drug repurposing / mechanism tracing. 85+ data sources, petabyte-scale, rebuilt every few weeks. Wet-lab results re-enter the graph and shift downstream predictions — institutional experimental memory closing a feedback loop. As of Oct 2026 benevolent.com leads with Qor, powered by BenevolentAI, a life-science intelligence service for biopharma decision makers and consultancies. Qor (qor.one) is a continuously updated decision-intelligence service built on BenevolentAI's knowledge graph and reasoning methods: it tracks evidence on an asset or indication (competitive position, rival readouts, comparable deals), source-verifies each claim and flags when an earlier conclusion stops holding. It targets biotech teams and life-science consultancies.
- Causaly T1
Agentic AI platform for life sciences: orchestrated scientific agents over a curated biomedical knowledge graph (plus Bio Graph and Pipeline Graph), an evidence-retrieval system and an enterprise data fabric over literature, trials and patents.
