About Us:
Trail is the context layer AI agents run on. We're building the missing layer between your company's rules, exceptions, and institutional knowledge and the agents trying to act on them. It's a governed graph that lets any agent or platform, including Trail agents, make the right call on your most complex business processes. Agents today fail not because models are weak, but because they're never given the judgment a business builds up over years. We're fixing that.
