The people building Vantaria
Vantaria Labs builds a private memory for biological research labs, so that what a lab learns stays with the lab.
Why we are building Vantaria
In most labs the files stay, but the reasoning behind experiments, decisions and failures tends to leave with the people who did the work.
Vantaria reads the records a lab already keeps and turns them into a memory the team can question, with every answer traced back to the page it came from.
