Palantir builds software platforms that enable organizations to integrate data, decisions, and operations at scale. Its four principal platforms are Gotham, which powers defense and intelligence operations; Foundry, a data operations and workflow platform; Apollo, a cloud-agnostic continuous delivery and infrastructure orchestration platform; and AIP, a generative AI platform providing secure LLM connectivity, AI agent development, and enterprise automation. Customers span U.S. and allied government defense and intelligence agencies as well as commercial enterprises.
Founded in 2003 to serve the U.S. intelligence community, Palantir expanded into commercial markets. Its Ontology framework maps organizational data, logic, and actions into a shared operational representation that connects analytics and decision-making across technical and non-technical users. AIP, introduced in 2023, enables deployment of large language models within customer-defined legal, ethical, and security constraints. The company emphasizes rapid implementation, positioning its software as deployable in days versus months for internal development.
