About

Primal was founded as a privately-funded research lab tackling the challenge of extracting meaning from vast amounts of unstructured, disorganized, and incomplete data. What began as symbolic-computing research evolved into a hybrid model merging symbolic and neural AI methods, and today the company builds engine-agnostic 'Trust Skills' that give AI coding agents provenance, verification, and auditability. Backed by 15+ years of applied research and a portfolio of over 180 international patents, Primal's tools are used in production by regulated customers in legal, healthcare, and mergers & acquisitions.
