We're building the search layer underneath every company.
The way Stripe became the default for payments and Salesforce the default for CRM, Findola intends to become the default for the universal interface to work data.
Our thesis
Foundation models have crossed the threshold of reliable autonomous reasoning. An entire layer of human cognitive labor — looking, summarizing, stitching, briefing — is becoming economically obsolete. Whoever owns the index of a company's work owns the surface that AI runs on.
We are not building a ChatGPT wrapper. We're building a vertically-integrated, agent-native system of record and system of action with proprietary data flywheels, defensible technical infrastructure, and deep workflow lock-in.
Mission
Give every knowledge worker an answer to any question in under two seconds, with a citation they can trust and a permission boundary they can verify.
Values
Reliability over demo
We ship slowly when we have to, and we publish our eval scores. Trust compounds; magic doesn't.
Craft is the moat
In an era of commodity models, the design and the discipline are the differentiator.
Customer is the dataset
Every workflow that runs in production teaches the next generation of the product.
Defaults are kindness
Safe choices, sensible limits, sane permissions — out of the box.
The team
Findola is a small, technical team out of San Francisco and Berlin. We've shipped infrastructure for a billion people at Meta, Stripe, Snowflake and Anthropic. We've also worked at the mid-market companies we now build for — and we remember what it felt like to not have this.
