Overview

Palantir builds software that empowers organizations to effectively integrate their data, decisions, and operations through AI-powered automation. Founded in 2003, the company serves critical government and commercial enterprises across the West, delivering mission-critical outcomes on factory floors, front lines, and everywhere in between. Palantir's core philosophy centers on augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it — combining proven platforms with hands-on engineering partnerships to produce operational results in weeks, not years.

Palantir's engineers work directly in the field alongside customers, deploying products, integrating data, and optimizing workflows. The company is committed to building privacy-protective capabilities into all of its products, helping organizations extract value from their data while safeguarding sensitive information from misuse and abuse.

Core Software Products

  • AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform): Automates operations across enterprise and government environments, enabling AI-driven decisions from the factory floor to the front lines. Supports the building of agentic systems that create true operational advantage.
  • Gotham: Designed for defense and intelligence use cases, Gotham enables AI-driven combat superiority across domains ranging from space to ground-level operations.
  • Foundry: A complete developer platform for building and managing Ontology-powered software, enabling organizations to compose end-to-end AI-powered workflows at scale.
  • Ontology: The central system for orchestrating decisions across Human+AI teams, providing a shared operational model that connects data, logic, and action.
  • Apollo: Autonomously deploys, monitors, and manages software across any environment, ensuring continuous delivery and operational reliability at scale.

Key Programs and Initiatives

  • ShipOS: An operating system initiative focused on rebuilding American sea power and modernizing naval operations.
  • Warp Speed: A manufacturing operating system designed to support American re-industrialization and accelerate domestic production capabilities.
  • Maven Smart System: An AI system transforming battlefield decision-making and intelligence for military operations.
  • TITAN: A new Integrated Sensor Vehicle (ISV) system designed and delivered in 90 days, demonstrating Palantir's rapid deployment capabilities for defense.
  • Chain Reaction: Positioned as the operating system for American AI infrastructure, supporting the broader national AI ecosystem.
  • Multimodal Data Plane: An interoperability layer that enables organizations to activate AI with any storage, any compute, any model, and in any environment.
  • Systems Migration: A solution leveraging Palantir AIP to accelerate enterprise data migration at scale.

Core Platform Capabilities

  • Integration, management, and security of large-scale, complex data across distributed environments
  • Fully interactive, human-driven and machine-assisted analysis without requiring users to master querying languages or statistical modeling
  • Privacy-protective access controls that allow organizations to collaborate without compromising sensitive data
  • Rapid deployment of agentic and AI-powered workflows, enabling organizations to move from pilot to enterprise scale in months
  • Support for autonomous orchestration across Human+AI teams, reducing reliance on manual processes
  • Expertise spanning distributed systems infrastructure, big data processing, user experience design, and data science

Notable Customers and Outcomes

  • Walgreens: Used Foundry and AIP to scale AI-powered, end-to-end pharmacy workflows from a 10-store pilot to approximately 4,000 stores within eight months; also building autonomous orchestration capabilities to reduce human dependency in operations.
  • AT&T: Deployed over 660 applications on Foundry, including S.C.O.U.T., a joint initiative that now has more than 100 dedicated AT&T engineers supporting it.
  • Parexel: Reduced time to submission materials by over 50%, cutting the process from a 10–12 week average down to approximately 3–4 weeks using Palantir's platform.
  • Heineken USA: Rebuilt operational capabilities in three months using Palantir that had previously taken three years to develop.
  • Wendy's Quality Supply Chain Co-op: Resolved inventory problems that previously took days or weeks to address, reducing resolution time to approximately five minutes.
  • U.S. Navy, CDAO, and GE Aerospace are among the government and enterprise organizations featured at Palantir's AIPCon events.

Mission and Values

  • Palantir was founded on the belief that available technology in 2003 was too rigid, too slow to deploy, and too dependent on services to be effective against adaptive, real-world challenges.
  • The company prioritizes mission-driven engineering, sending teams into the field to work directly with customers rather than operating purely from a distance.
  • Palantir actively supports investigators uncovering human trafficking, financial crimes, and child exploitation; humanitarian organizations responding to natural disasters; public health officials tracking disease spread; and information security specialists defending intellectual property.
  • The company works with advocacy groups and the policy community to ensure technology is used in ways that protect privacy and civil liberties.
  • Palantir serves both institutions with resources to pay for its products and those without, maintaining the same partnership-driven approach across all engagements.

Palantir's expanding portfolio — spanning commercial enterprise, defense, intelligence, and public sector — reflects its ambition to serve as the foundational AI and data operating layer for the West's most important institutions, enabling them to fulfill their mandates, deliver value, and respond to the world's most critical challenges.
