Narrative Science

Narrative Science was a Chicago-based artificial-intelligence company known for its Quill natural-language-generation (NLG) platform, which automatically turned structured data into written narratives and data stories. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of Battery Ventures and Sapphire Ventures and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub for enrichment. As of this enrichment pass the company no longer operates independently: Salesforce acquired Narrative Science in December 2021 and folded its technology into Tableau. The former corporate domain (www.narrativescience.com) now 301-redirects to Tableau's AI/augmented-analytics pages, and no developer, api, or docs subdomains resolve. There is no independent public API, developer portal, OpenAPI, or documentation surface remaining to enrich; this profile is retained as a historical/acquisition record.

Narrative Science is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Generation, Data Storytelling, and Analytics.

  notes: 'Re-verified. www.narrativescience.com 301-redirects to tableau.com augmented-analytics (Salesforce). Legacy subdomains
    still hold stale DNS but no live endpoint: api.narrativescience.com -> dead AWS ELB (HTTP 000); quillengagesupport.narrativescience.com
    -> dead Freshdesk LB (000); quillengage.com -> Cloudflare (000). No reachable OpenAPI, docs, portal, security.txt, or
    SDK. Acquired company with no independent API surface; nothing to search/generate/derive.'
