What Senso does

Senso is building the infrastructure for the agentic web. As AI agents replace websites as the primary interface for discovery, decisions, and commerce, enterprises need a new way to control how agents understand, reason over, and act on their data. Senso enables companies to register agent-first domains, ingest first-party enterprise data, and publish verified, structured ground truth that AI agents can safely answer from, recommend with, and transact against. Our platform continuously evaluates how models use this context and adapts it to gain authority across leading LLMs. We are building the System of Record for Verified AI - powering AI discovery, agentic commerce, and post-transaction resolution across regulated and enterprise environments.
