Mind Foundry

Mind Foundry is an Oxford University spin-out, founded in 2016 and headquartered at Ewert House in Oxford, United Kingdom, that builds applied machine learning for high-stakes, real-world problems across defence, national security, insurance, infrastructure and government. Its current products are SENTRY, a multi-modal sensor-fusion capability that detects, classifies and tracks objects in time and space from raw sensor data, and NIGHTINGALE, AI-enabled acoustic intelligence for anti-submarine warfare that has been integrated with Thales systems. Mind Foundry delivers these as deployed and integrated systems for customers and prime contractors rather than as a public, self-serve developer API, and it publishes no developer portal, API reference or machine-readable specification. The company previously operated OPTaaS (Optimization as a Service), a Bayesian optimisation API with first-party Python and R clients; the OPTaaS service hosts and its GitHub client repositories are no longer reachable, and the PyPI client has had no release since January 2024. Mind Foundry publishes ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and JOSCAR certifications on its own site.

Mind Foundry is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Machine-Learning, Defence, and National Security.

Mind Foundry’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 11 more developer resources.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/mind-foundry: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: Mind Foundry's site is a 139-URL HubSpot marketing site for two defence products (SENTRY, NIGHTINGALE) with no developer,
    docs or API path in its own sitemap; the one public API it ever shipped, OPTaaS, has been silently retired — mindfoundry.ai/optaas
    404s, its optaas.mindfoundry.ai and demo.optimize.mindfoundry.ai hosts are NXDOMAIN, and the MindFoundry GitHub organisation
    now reports 0 public repositories.
