A start-up that is changing companies' data silos!

TentrisDB is the first scalable graph database optimized for GDPR-compliant and explainable machine learning. Our innovative data structure, query engine and ML algorithms enable up to 1000x faster queries and reduce data processing costs by up to 90%. Our GraphRAG on top of Tentris DB reduces token costs by up to 97% compared to traditional RAG systems, produces hardly any hallucinations and improves ranking for complex search queries. The complete package of Tentris DB and Graph RAG enables companies to network their data intelligently and easily: fast, precise and 100% GDPR-compliant.
