Directo
About

We got tired of AI that didn't know what we knew

Directo started as an internal fix for a problem every team building AI eventually hits: the model is only as good as the data it can actually reach. We built the connector layer we wished existed, then opened it up.

Directo is AI data infrastructure: we connect the systems your business already runs on - GitHub, Jira, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, and more - to the AI assistants, search tools, and agents your team is building.

Our mission is simple: make a company's real, current knowledge available to AI in real time, with the same permissions and the same accuracy a trusted employee would have.

We believe most "AI isn't useful yet" complaints are really data access problems wearing a model's name. Better prompts don't fix stale context. A live connection to the source does.

How we got here

The short version

1
2023

The problem, lived firsthand

Built three different internal sync scripts for three different AI prototypes. Realized the integration work, not the model, was the bottleneck every time.

2
2024

Directo founded

Started building a single connector layer - index once, plug into any AI surface - instead of one-off pipelines per project.

3
2025

First 10 connectors

Shipped GitHub, Jira, Slack, and the other tools we were already using ourselves, with permission-aware sync from day one.
