About the startup

Contrive is a unified search and action layer for company knowledge. It doesn’t just return links: it synthesizes context across connected tools, preserves source traceability, and turns results into immediate actions all from a keyboard-first desktop command bar. Unlike search only products or generic AI assistants, Contrive closes the gap between finding and doing, while respecting workspace permissions and giving teams precise control over what gets indexed.
