Adapt

Adapt is a San Francisco-based AI company that provides what it calls an "AI computer for business": a horizontal platform through which any role in an organization can work with frontier AI agents grounded in the company's own data, systems, and workflows. Once configured, users can tag the agent in team chat to ask questions, get answers, and trigger actions across connected tools. The company frames its product as a single "company agent" backed by persistent universal memory, secure compute environments, and deep integrations, intended to replace the manual work of moving information and context between fragmented internal systems.

The platform is organized in three layers. The Apps layer places one agent across surfaces including Slack, GitHub, Linear, web, messaging, and Microsoft Teams (listed as forthcoming). The Models layer is a router that scores each request and directs it to a tier — xfast, fast, balanced, or deep — across frontier and open-weight models, handling API keys, retries, streaming, spend, and mid-stream failover when providers return errors or rate limits. The Infra layer gives each agent microVM sandboxes with persistent filesystems, scoped secrets, cron-based automations, and webhook triggers. Adapt also offers pre-built integrations for systems such as Slack, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Postgres, Stripe, Gmail, Sentry, HubSpot, and Google Workspace, and states it can connect to any system with an available API. A forthcoming capability scaffolds a customer's agent as plain TypeScript code — integrations, agent logic, memory, skills, automations, and a company.md file — which the customer owns and can modify.

Alongside its January 2026 seed announcement, Adapt released Adapt Apps, which turns AI-generated outputs into persistent graphical interfaces such as live dashboards and internal tools built through natural language and powered by real-time data from connected systems, and Proactive Automation, which monitors connected systems in the background to surface insights and take action before users ask.

Founding story

Adapt was founded by Jim Benton, Sean Smith, and John Andrew Entwistle. Benton co-founded ClearSlide, led Apollo.io, and ran Chorus.ai through its $575 million sale to ZoomInfo. Smith brings neuroscience and database systems expertise and is associated with GlareDB. Entwistle co-founded Coder.com and built Wander, a luxury travel marketplace. The founders' stated premise is that companies are fragmented across hundreds of systems and that humans currently act as the middleware between them.

Business model

Adapt sells a platform that customers deploy either to their own environment (self-host, VPC, or managed on-prem) or via Adapt Cloud, the company's managed offering. Access is sold at the organization level, with subscription plans that include credit-based usage; administrators can set per-member monthly credit limits with warning thresholds and automatic pausing. Prospects enter through a demo request.

Organizations subscribe to the platform, with usage metered in credits that admins can cap per member on a monthly basis.

Traction

The company reports customers including Wander, DoNotPay, Rosie, and RevSend. Wander's CTO says Adapt deflects routine data requests from the data and engineering teams and that every team at the company runs on it; DoNotPay's CEO says a support task that previously took an agent 45 minutes now takes about one minute.

Latest developments

Changelog entries dated August 2026 introduced the ability to pin a chat to Deep, Balanced, Fast, or Super Fast intelligence levels or leave it on Auto; allowed owners and admins to choose which models power each intelligence level for their organization; and added per-member monthly credit limits with warning emails at 75% and 90% and a pause at 100%.
