Rhizome Ai

Rhizome AI is an AI-powered regulatory research platform for pharmaceutical and medical device companies. It lets regulatory affairs teams ask questions and receive cited answers grounded in primary-source documents from health authorities worldwide (FDA, EMA, Health Canada, Swissmedic, MHRA, TGA and others across 10+ agencies), retrieving from up to a thousand documents without hallucinating. Beyond the web application, Rhizome AI publishes an enterprise HTTP API that exposes BM25 keyword search across the regulatory document corpus and full-text, page-by-page document retrieval, authenticated with an x-api-key header. A YC-backed company, Rhizome AI was surfaced as a portfolio-company lead and enriched from its public developer documentation.

Rhizome Ai publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Documents API. Tagged areas include Company, Regulatory, Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, and Life Sciences.

Rhizome Ai’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, support, pricing, signup flow, and 17 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/rhizome-ai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
