We are Saris AI, a San Francisco and Montreal based applied AI startup building the future of work in the banking industry. We are tackling a $100 billion per year problem with multi-turn AI agentic systems and automation for complex workflows that require long-context reasoning, tool orchestration across legacy systems, and strict compliance loops.
