Halifax-based AI startup Boundless Discovery has partnered with American technology company Palantir Technologies to develop its flagship product on Palantir’s platform.

Boundless Discovery specializes in rapid modeling of complex situations using open-source information and artificial intelligence while Palantir focuses on artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning software.

Current analyses on the Boundless Discovery website include pieces on Russia in West Africa, foreign interference in Canada, the 2024 Venezuelan Election, and the race for electric vehicle dominance.

The company provides clarity and an information advantage for organizations needing rapid and accurate understanding of the world, the venture said in a press release.

“We believe the best outcomes in the AI era will come from providing decision-makers with a highly navigable, detailed and verified AI-assisted knowledge base that unlocks the superpower that is human intuition and thinking,” said Peter Gale, Co-Founder and CEO.

With information growing exponentially across the internet and bias increasingly pervasive, only 16 percent of people believe they can confidently navigate the information landscape, the company said.

Boundless Discovery began by delivering a free newsletter providing analyses of global events. To test their concept without significant upfront investment, founders Gale and Will Stone used Palantir’s free Developer Tier. The approach earned them an invitation to DevCon1, Palantir’s developer conference in Palo Alto. 

Reflecting on the partnership, Boundless CTO Will Stone said: "After working on Palantir’s platform and getting exposure to their people and culture, it quickly became clear that this partnership is what we needed to efficiently accelerate our product to the next level.”
