# Brightseed

> Brightseed is a bioactives and AI company (founded 2017, San Francisco CA / Durham NC) whose Forager
> AI platform maps compounds in plants to human biological pathways and health benefits, drawing on a
> proprietary dataset of 21 million bioactive compounds across 23 health areas. Hummingbird layers an
> agentic AI system on top of Forager to carry partners from discovery through development. Brightseed
> publishes NO product or developer API for Forager or Hummingbird — those are enterprise engagements
> arranged through a contact form. The only machine-readable surface Brightseed operates is the
> WordPress REST API (wp/v2) behind its corporate site.
