About Gray Whale

Gray Whale is Intelligent Data, and a fundamentally more efficient one.

While large language models burn through enormous compute for every response, the Large Interaction Model (LIM) learns from what people actually do. Less data. Fewer steps. A fraction of the energy. At a moment when AI's appetite for power is a genuine crisis, that's not a small thing.

This is not vibe coding. This is intelligent data for serious AI applications. Your data, your model.

The LIM is a new class of AI that learns continuously from user interactions, reasons over your data and provides hyper-accurate, multilingual inference at a fraction of the time, cost and data required to operate. The result is AI that is genuinely personal, hallucination-free, and gets better the more people use it, without being retrained from scratch.

This technology is already in production. Product Genius, the ecommerce platform built by Gray Whale co-founder Ben Vigoda, has deployed the LIM across hundreds of online stores, serving over 15 million monthly shoppers. For the full technical story, see our technology page.

Founded in 2025 by Dom Sagolla, Kenji Kato, and Ben Vigoda. The team collectively comes from Harvard, MIT, DARPA, Apple, HP Labs, Adobe Labs, and NASA.

Core Values

• Trust: basing decisions on mutual alignment, honesty, and transparency
• Diversity: celebrating differences of thought, action, and being
• Ingenuity: crafting fine products, services, and inventions

We believe that users should control their data, the experience, and the algorithm that shapes their world.

The gray whale represents our connection to nature and the protection of all creatures. It is a peaceful, ancient, enormous symbol of grace and intelligence. The gray whale sustains itself by gathering a vast amount of material and filtering out exactly what it needs from the sea. That's the metaphor. That's the platform.

We are an all-remote team, centered on the San Francisco Bay Area. We believe in harmony and peace.
