Company / San Francisco & Paris

Business knowledge.
Agent decisions.

We build the decision technology that lets agents use a company’s knowledge, policies, and experience.

Built from research.
Shaped by real work.

Patrick Joubert and Yann Bilien founded Rippletide in February 2024. The work brings together neuro-symbolic reasoning, hypergraph technology, and the engineering needed to put business decisions into agents.

Tide-1 is our upcoming decision model for builders, specialized around each customer’s policies and feedback. For enterprises, the platform builds a shared decision reference from company data, with deterministic rule execution and explainability.
