About AI One

We're building the infrastructure layer that enables enterprise AI to understand business context.


We're building the infrastructure layer that enables enterprise AI to understand business context.


Our Mission

AI One is an enterprise AI company based in New York that builds a lightweight software layer that sits underneath enterprise AI and agentic applications — connecting to existing systems, resolving entities across fragmented data, and enforcing security and permissions without requiring a unified data platform first. Our software sits at the intersection of enterprise data, LLMs, and agentic workflows to help large enterprises scale AI by improving accuracy, reliability, repeatability, latency, time to market, and token consumption.


Our Story

AI One was founded in 2024 by Conor Twomey and Fergus Keenan, two Irish entrepreneurs who spent over 15 years each building and scaling enterprise data and analytics platforms. Both saw firsthand the challenge facing large organizations: despite massive investments in data infrastructure, AI couldn't deliver real business value because it lacked the business context needed to make informed decisions.
Conor and Fergus met through their shared experience navigating the complexities of enterprise technology. They recognized that enterprises were "brute-forcing" AI into workflows through endless prompt engineering and custom connectors—a slow, brittle process impossible to scale. They founded AI One to solve this fundamental problem by creating the infrastructure layer that gives AI the business context it needs to operate with understanding, not guesswork.
