Turn organizational noise into AI-ready context.

Your team makes decisions in meetings and commitments in threads — and most of it evaporates before Friday. Ambito is the persistent contextual layer your team reads from to remember what was decided yesterday, who owns the launch, and which thread went dead without resolution. The same layer your AI agents — Claude, Copilot, Gemini — can finally read from.

No spam. Researching the problem. Building openly.

The work is happening. The context is gone.

Every enterprise tool captures a fragment of work. None of them talk to each other. The result is a context vacuum — and it’s the structural gap behind the 95% of enterprise AI pilots that never reach production.¹

It’s Tuesday.

As a knowledge worker

You’ve walked into six meetings since Monday morning. By the third one you stopped taking notes — you were already late to the fourth. A task got assigned in the second one but nobody wrote it down. Someone Slacks you asking “what did we land on for the Atlas migration?” — and you genuinely don’t remember. By Friday, you’ll spend an hour reconstructing the week. Next week, you’ll do it all again.

As an Agent Deployer

The internal copilot you launched to your CS team last week has answered 200 questions over the weekend — and forty are wrong. One told a customer the refund window is 90 days. It’s 30. The model isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as designed. It just doesn’t know what your team decided in last quarter’s all-hands, what Engineering announced in Slack, or what’s in the runbook nobody updated. You’ll spend Friday writing correction memos. Next week, you’ll do it again.

For the people doing the work

  • Back-to-back meetings with no chance to take real notes
  • Constant context-switching across 4–6 tools every day
  • Knowledge buried in transcripts, threads, files, and people's heads
  • No way to query "what did we decide on X?" — every search is manual
  • Action items get buried in email or dropped at the end of meetings
  • Juggling multiple projects, each with its own deliverables and history
  • Task tracking is a manual layer bolted on top of everything else
  • "I got an email today that's clearly related to one from three weeks ago — but I can't find the original"

For the agents you’re deploying

  • AI agents don't retain organizational context — every session is cold-start
  • No persistence across changes to people, projects, or decisions
  • No visibility into internal context without team-specific custom integrations
  • The bigger the org, the harder those integrations are to discover or maintain
  • Frontier models hallucinate org-specific facts when they lack organizational context — the root cause Contextual AI identifies behind enterprise AI failures³
  • Multi-step agent workflows fail at the "look up organizational reality" step
  • RAG over Confluence or Notion goes stale fast — never captures decisions made yesterday in a meeting
  • Supervisors can't audit why an agent's answer was wrong — no source attribution to trace

From conversation to context.

The Context Graph: a persistent layer your team reads from and your agents query.

Ingest.

Passively read across every source your team already produces: meeting transcripts, email threads, calendar events, and Slack/Teams channels — plus canonical documents like policies, runbooks, contracts, and specs. No new behavior or manual uploading required from anyone.

Structure.

Extract decisions, commitments, projects, and people into a queryable knowledge graph with source attribution on every entity. Identity persists across sources and time.

Serve.

A permission-aware MCP server exposes this context to any AI agent — Claude, Copilot, Gemini, your internal stack. An ambient dashboard organizes it for humans: project-by-project view, task tracking across meetings and threads, and surfaced signals like stalling projects or dropped commitments — without anyone having to ask.

Source attribution on every output  ·  Permission-scoped  ·  SaaS, BYOK, or VPC deployment

Built for two consumers. Same context layer.

For knowledge workers

For the people doing the work.

The first ambient dashboard that reads across every meeting, email, and channel your team coordinates in — not just yours — and surfaces what matters the moment you open it. No queries. No searching. The context is already there.

  • Never lose a decision or action item — whether it landed in a meeting, an email, or a Slack thread
  • Find any past decision in seconds — across transcripts, threads, and channels
  • See which projects are stalling before someone has to flag them
  • Walk into Monday with the context Ambito surfaced from the week before — automatically
For AI agent deployers

For the teams deploying AI agents.

The MCP server your agents needed three months ago. Permission-aware out of the box. Point any MCP-compatible agent at structured organizational context — meetings, threads, policies, runbooks — with source attribution on every response. Without rebuilding RAG every quarter.

  • Point any MCP-compatible agent at structured organizational knowledge
  • Source attribution on every response — agents your team can audit
  • Three deployment models: SaaS, BYOK, or VPC — your data, your boundary
  • Coverage of both inferred context (meetings, threads) and canonical context (policies, runbooks) in one query surface
  • Built on FastMCP atop Anthropic's Python SDK · pgvector + Postgres at MVP · OAuth 2.1 scoped tokens · P95 < 500ms target

Trust, built-in.

Three architecture decisions we settled before writing the first line of code:

  • Permission is the first layer.

    Every query is scoped to the requester's authorized context before retrieval — humans through enterprise SSO, agents through OAuth 2.1 scoped tokens (per the MCP standard). No one—and no agent—can access what the person running it can't.

  • Three deployment models on day one.

    SaaS, BYOK (your LLM keys, your data path), VPC (entire pipeline inside your cloud). The data boundary is yours to choose.

  • Agents read entities, not transcripts.

    Every response carries the verbatim quote that produced it, with identity-bound audit logging on every query. Agents never receive raw meetings, emails, or chats — only typed entities with source attribution.

SOC 2 Type II, data residency, and sub-processor disclosure are in scope. The architecture that makes them auditable — access control, identity-bound logging, encryption at rest and in transit — is inside the MVP build. Sub-processor list goes live at launch.

The moment is now.

95%

of enterprise GenAI pilots fail to reach production. MIT named the cause: tools that don’t learn from real workflows. The deeper gap: no persistent organizational context for those tools to learn against. Average sunk cost per abandoned initiative: $7.2M.

Two YC partners.
One category. Independently.

Today’s tools each capture or query a fragment and stop there — whether built around meetings, documents, or many connectors at once. Ambito is the persistent layer underneath — passively ingesting, building the relationships, and personalizing the context in the background, ready before anyone asks. What your team reads and your agents query is already organized.

Founder

Born in Argentina, I started working in restaurants before teaching myself to code and entering the workforce as an entry-level developer with no college degree. Over the last 4 years, I’ve gone from entry-level developer to VP, Technical Product Manager at JPMorgan — where I now run a pure-API microservices platform and am actively leading an eBAM (ISO-20022, ACMT message set) modernization for Treasury Services.

I’ve watched the same pattern repeat across every enterprise team: people lose context, projects drift, and AI agents now inherit the same gap at scale.

Over 3 of those 4 years, I built Bootcampr in parallel — went through Antler’s VC accelerator, closed it publicly when product-market fit didn’t materialize. Ambito’s first prototype was a Zoom-to-Jira pipeline that auto-generated meeting emails + Jira tickets from transcripts. Expanded it into an enterprise context layer after seeing agent deployments hit the same wall from the other side.

Currently enrolled in Maven’s AI Product Manager certification, with the Ambito work itself selected for Product Faculty’s 5-week documentary series on building a 0-to-1 AI product (May–June 2026). YC Summer 2026 applicant.
