Contextual AI

Contextual AI is an enterprise RAG platform built around a Grounded Language Model (GLM) engineered to minimize hallucinations. Its REST API exposes end-to-end RAG agents (create, configure, query) plus standalone component APIs - Generate, Rerank, Parse, and LMUnit - over datastores of ingested documents, all authenticated with a Bearer API key.

Contextual AI publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Agents API, Agents Query API, Datastores API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include AI, RAG, LLM, Grounded Language Model, and Enterprise.

The Contextual AI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Contextual AI’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 10 more developer resources.
