Where we came from.
Founded in 1999. Curating knowledge before it was a job title.
getAbstract started with a simple thesis: businesspeople don’t have time to read every book, but they can’t afford to miss the ones that matter. So, we hired editors who would read them for you and write a verified summary you could finish in fifteen minutes.
That discipline (read the source, fact-check the claim, condense without losing the argument) is what we’ve been refining for 27 years. It is also exactly what AI systems need to stop guessing.
Today, the same editorial standard powers our Microsoft Copilot Connector, the Gemini Enterprise integration, the custom knowledge layers we build for regulated industries, and Flow, our AI Knowledge Concierge that lives inside Microsoft Teams. The work hasn’t changed. The output has.
