David Lanstein Is Building the Search Bar His Old Team Needed
He went from writing software at Splunk to scaling sales at PagerDuty. The costly search habits he watched form along the way became the operating thesis for Atolio.
Atolio
Atolio is a private, AI-powered enterprise search platform that runs inside a company's own cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) or on-premises. It connects to workplace systems like Slack, Google Workspace, Office 365, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, then indexes them with document-level permissions so employees only see what they are already authorized to view. Founded in 2019 by Splunk and PagerDuty veterans, Atolio pairs hybrid semantic-plus-keyword search with permission-aware retrieval-augmented generation, giving enterprises secure question answering across siloed knowledge without their data ever leaving their environment.
