Ventura

Ventura builds the AI workforce for distributors and manufacturers, starting with quoting and order entry. It reads inbound requests in any format - emails, PDFs, images, and phone calls - matches products against the customer's catalog, drafts a quote or order for a sales rep to review and approve, and pushes the approved result into the customer's ERP, with sales intelligence and a phone agent that transcribes rep calls and creates the resulting quote or order. Ventura plugs into the ERP and CRM a distributor already runs, follows the team's documented procedures, and learns from every correction. Ventura (formerly Autola) is operated by Gradient Ascent Labs, Inc., a Y Combinator Winter 2026 company based in San Francisco founded by Swen Koller and Jack Collins. As of 2026-08-14 the company publishes a marketing website and a privacy policy only: no public API, developer portal, documentation, SDK, OpenAPI, MCP server, or agent card was found on any Ventura host, and the customer application at app.ventura.ai redirects every path to a login.

Ventura is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, AI Agents, Distributors, and Manufacturers.
