Palantir AIP
Ontology-aware. Auditable. Production.
AIP is the only major AI platform that grounds LLMs directly in your operational ontology. That means AI agents that reason over real Foundry data, with real access controls, in real federal environments. We build AIP Logic, agent workflows, and Ontology SDK applications for agencies and primes who need production results.
Discuss Your AIP Program →Why AIP is different
Most AI deployments bolt an LLM onto a vector database and call it a day. AIP takes a different approach: it connects LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) to your Foundry ontology, so every AI response is grounded in structured operational data. The ontology is not an afterthought. It is the access layer, the data model, and the governance boundary all at once.
AIP Logic functions define exactly how an LLM reasons over your ontology objects. AIP Agent Studio lets you author and test agents that act on those objects, not just generate text about them. And every action inherits your Foundry access controls, so the AI cannot see data the user cannot see. That combination is why AIP gets deployed in environments where generic RAG never would.
Grounded reasoning over real operational data. With audit trails. In federal environments. That is AIP.
What we build with AIP
Every engagement is scoped to your Foundry ontology and your operational environment. We do not drop in templates. We build AIP capabilities that work with the data you already have.
Callable AI reasoning functions that define how LLMs interact with your ontology objects and actions. We scope the prompt strategy, tool access, and output contracts so Logic Functions behave predictably in production workflows.
Agents authored in AIP Agent Studio that act on Foundry objects directly. Not just text generation: agents that read object properties, trigger actions, update records, and hand off to downstream systems with full ontology context preserved.
Operational chat interfaces grounded in Foundry data for analysts and operators who need to query and reason over live ontology objects. We design Thread configurations that surface the right data at the right scope, with access controls enforced throughout.
Coordinated AIP agents that divide end-to-end processes across defined roles. Each agent owns a bounded task, passes ontology context on handoff, and escalates only when the situation warrants it. Built for processes too complex for a single Logic Function to own.
Custom applications built with the Ontology SDK that combine AIP reasoning with programmatic access to Foundry data. When a Slate application or Workshop widget is not enough, we build purpose-built tooling on top of the same ontology your agents operate on.
Audit trail configuration, access control review, and output validation for AIP deployments that must satisfy federal oversight requirements. We instrument your AIP environment so every decision is logged, explainable, and attributable.
Why AIP for federal AI
01
AIP inherits your Foundry access controls. Every LLM call, every agent action, every AIP Thread response respects the same need-to-know boundaries already defined in your ontology. No separate permission layer to maintain.
02
Every AIP decision is logged. AIP Logic function calls, agent actions, and Thread interactions leave a full trace through Foundry. When oversight asks what the AI did and why, the answer is already there.
03
AIP runs inside air-gapped Foundry deployments, including IL4 and IL5 environments. The platform does not require external API calls for inference when deployed with an on-premises model. The architecture supports the environments federal agencies actually operate in.
04
AI reasoning is grounded in structured operational data from the Foundry ontology, not scraped documents or stale vector embeddings. The LLM sees what the ontology contains. That is the difference between a demo and a system operators trust.
How we work
Whether you are standing up AIP for the first time or expanding an existing Foundry deployment, we scope the engagement to match. We operate as a subcontractor under federal primes and as a direct partner with agencies that have independent contract vehicles.
A targeted engagement that delivers a working AIP Logic function or agent against a real operational use case. Purpose-built to prove value on your data before committing to a full build.
End-to-end delivery of a defined AIP agent workflow. We scope the ontology objects, design the Logic functions, build in Agent Studio, and hand off a production-ready capability.
A comprehensive AIP program build covering multiple Logic functions, agent workflows, AIP Threads, and governance instrumentation. Designed for agencies ready to deploy AIP across an operational mission area.
Cleared AIP engineers embedded in an existing program. We integrate with your team's sprint cadence, contribute to active Agent Studio builds, and accelerate delivery without requiring a new statement of work for every task.
