Vulcan Technologies
ActiveHiringSecure frontier AI for government & adjacent knowledge work
About
Vulcan builds agents for government and government-adjacent work. We currently sell two agents: Justinian and Trajan. Justinian is an AI agent coworker for people who work in and adjacent to American government. To power Justinian, we created the world’s largest legal and policy database and knowledge graph, accessible to our customers via our platform, email, and Slack. Trajan is a public-facing AI concierge built to help governments modernize service delivery. Hosted on a government website, Trajan helps businesses and citizens automatically complete permits, licenses, applications, and answer regulatory and legal questions. In addition to government customers, Vulcan's agents serve regulatory, legal, policy, and government relations teams at major U.S. enterprises.
