Sovereignty through choice
Knowledge, alternatives and infrastructure to decide which models to use, where to run them and whom to depend on.
Research and engineering in artificial intelligence
Build intelligence.
Distribute capability.
We are a Brazilian AI research and engineering company. Our agenda connects models, data, agentic systems and infrastructure to expand who can understand, build and control this technology.
Rooted in Brazil. Looking to the world.

01 / Why we exist
Access matters.
Capability goes deeper.
Using an interface is only the beginning. Building capability means understanding models, organizing data, evaluating behavior and choosing where intelligence runs.
Polybee works on those foundations and seeks to broaden participation in building them.
From our manifesto
“We do not only want more AI users. We want more AI builders.”

A connected agenda.Research ↗ Engineering ↗ Capability
01Agentic systems
How can we coordinate agents, memory and tools in systems that can be evaluated and controlled?
Agentic systems combine models, memory and tools to carry out sequences of actions. We investigate how to organize these parts, observe their behavior, and maintain evaluation and control criteria throughout execution.
Discuss this area02Models & intelligence
How can we adapt models to specific contexts and treat Portuguese as a first-class language?
Studying models means understanding their possibilities and limits in different contexts. Our agenda includes adaptation, specialization and efficiency, with attention to Portuguese, voice and the combination of information modalities.
Discuss this area03Data & knowledge
How can we organize data and knowledge so AI systems can retrieve and use them with traceability?
Data must be organized to support the creation, retrieval and use of knowledge. Our agenda brings together methods and structures that connect information, preserve context and track its origin in systems.
Discuss this area04Evaluation & governance
How can we measure behavior, identify limits and establish reliability criteria for AI systems?
Evaluation must follow the whole system, beyond a single answer. We investigate ways to observe behavior, recognize limits and make development and operating criteria explicit.
Discuss this area05Compute, edge & robotics
How can we bring intelligence to different environments while accounting for latency, connectivity, resources and control?
AI must work wherever it is needed. We investigate local inference, distributed infrastructure and intelligent systems beyond centralized cloud services.

03 / Principles in practice
More autonomy to build.
More capability to share.
Openness that multiplies
An open-core approach: share what expands collective capability and protect what sustains research.
Shared capability
Closing the gap between using intelligence and being able to understand, adapt and build it.
04 / Origin and perspective
We build from here.
We think beyond borders.
Brazil should help build AI, not only use it.
Our origins shape our research questions, including treating Portuguese as a first-class language in models, data and evaluation.
We are a commercial research and engineering company. We connect investigation with practical construction, collaborate globally and develop our own capabilities.
