Sentra creates an enterprise general intelligence platform that acts as an organizational memory system by unifying data, conversations, and context across an organization. It builds a knowledge graph by integrating Slack, Jira, calendars, and other tools to capture decisions, commitments, and priorities, and it automates workflows like status reporting and meeting notes. It memorializes institutional knowledge so context stays accessible even after team members leave, and it supports faster onboarding with role-specific context. It targets enterprises with SOC 2 security and on-prem deployment, aiming to improve alignment, onboarding, and coordinated action by surfacing context across distributed teams.
