# Manifest

> Manifest is a software and AI supply chain security platform built to answer a deceptively simple question: what is actually inside the software and AI you build and buy? Founded by national security veterans from Palantir and the Pentagon, the company turns Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and AI Bills of Materials (AIBOMs) from compliance paperwork into a living risk inventory - generating, importing, enriching and monitoring component data so security teams can find vulnerabilities, track open-source and vendor risk, and prove compliance. Manifest serves mission-critical organizations across defense, government, automotive, medical devices, financial services and healthcare, and counts customers such as the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Homeland Security.
