What does Palantir Technologies do?

PLTR · Plain-English company overview

A stock is a share of ownership in a company. Owning one means you own a small piece of that business.

In the company's own words, from Item 1 (Business) of its latest annual report (Form 10-K) filed with the SEC on 2026-02-17.

We were founded in 2003 and started building software for the intelligence community in the United States to assist in counterterrorism investigations and operations. We later began working with commercial enterprises, who often faced fundamentally similar challenges in working with data.

We have built four principal software platforms, Palantir Gotham (“Gotham”), Palantir Foundry (“Foundry”), Palantir Apollo (“Apollo”), and our Artificial Intelligence Platform (“AIP”). Foundry is our foundational data operations platform, which provides the core capabilities for data management, logic authoring, systemic mapping development through Palantir Ontology (“Ontology”), analytics, and workflow development. AIP is our generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform, which provides secure connectivity to third-party-provided large language models (“LLMs”), a development toolchain for building AI-powered agents and automations, an array of AI-enabled end user applications, a broad evaluations framework for governing AI workflows in production, and more. Apollo is our continuous delivery platform, enabling the orchestration of upgrades of services and assets every day to manage the underlying infrastructure that hosts our other platforms. Gotham
