You.com, a leader in AI search infrastructure for enterprises, announced its acquisition of the Graft team and technology to accelerate its enterprise and API platform growth.
As part of the acquisition, Graft Co-Founder and CEO Adam Oliner joins You.com as Field CTO, while Co-Founder Eric Schkufza becomes Senior Principal Engineer. The addition of Graft’s technology and team marks a strategic expansion for You.com as it continues to develop high-accuracy search infrastructure for AI agents and large language models (LLMs).
Founded to operationalize foundation models across multimodal enterprise data, Graft built the first comprehensive AI platform designed for LLMs and other advanced models. Its “Intelligence Layer” enables companies to connect internal documents, databases, and knowledge bases directly to AI systems, bridging the gap between data and decision-making.
By enabling organizations to deploy production-grade AI solutions for generative, predictive, and structured analytics use cases, Graft helped teams with minimal machine learning experience apply cutting-edge AI technologies at scale.
Joining Socher and the You.com executive team, Adam Oliner, PhD, will guide the company’s enterprise strategy and technological roadmap. Oliner brings deep experience in applied AI and production machine learning, having previously led ML teams at Slack and Splunk, and studied at MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley. His co-founder, Eric Schkufza, PhD, previously served as Principal Scientist at Amazon, where he developed infrastructure for Amazon’s first proprietary LLM and helped scale its global machine learning systems.
With Graft’s addition, You.com gains proven engineering and customer success talent focused on delivering enterprise-grade AI solutions. The integration of Graft’s platform will enhance You.com’s ability to provide a modular, composable AI infrastructure that connects public, private, and third-party data sources into secure, production-ready workflows.
The company’s modular and model-agnostic platform enables organizations to search, reason, and act with precision—helping businesses turn complex data ecosystems into intelligent, workflow-aware AI systems.
