Enterprise knowledge today is fragmented, inconsistent, and not reliable enough for AI systems to operate on. Human Delta works with large enterprises to surface, structure, and validate institutional knowledge, turning scattered documentation and tribal knowledge into a continuously maintained source of truth that AI systems and agents can actually rely on. We partner with Fortune 50 companies like Disney and Paramount, supporting teams as they move from AI pilots to real deployment.

We curate environments where ambitious people meet collaborators, mentors, and opportunities through hackathons, workshops, and intimate gatherings across AI, tech, and the arts. If you care about who you build with as much as what you build, this is your place.
