# Osseus > The secure research brain for R&D. Osseus connects the tools teams already use, scattered documents, and the knowledge in people's heads into one permissioned research brain. Permission-aware AI agents surface relevant evidence, experts, and next actions across experiments, designs, simulations, and scientific software. Osseus is a Y Combinator (Summer 2026) company founded by Anish Mariathasan and Ayush Patel. It serves R&D teams across aerospace, automotive, robotics, electronics, pharma, and biotech. Data is never used to train foundation models; customers bring their own API keys and can deploy in their own cloud or VPC. ## Product - [Osseus platform](https://osseus.ai): permissioned research brain — cross-tool search, proactive watchers, and background automations for R&D teams. - Memory API: connect internal agents to a governed evidence layer (bring your own API keys).
