About Kuli

AI coworker for marketing teams at the largest consumer brands

Tech

Kuli combines large-scale social video ingestion with an agentic product used by enterprise marketing teams. We process multimodal content from social platforms, extract structured insights, and make them available to agents that operate in each customer's brand context. The hard problems include high-volume ingestion, multimodal analysis, agent orchestration and state, context engineering, tool reliability, evaluation, latency, and cost. Our stack includes Python, FastAPI, LangGraph, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Redis, Azure, TypeScript, and React. We use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
