Who Are The Rohirrim?
We are a team of engineers and tech leaders who developed Domain-Aware Generative AI as a way to free enterprise teams from laborious, tedious tasks – giving them more time to develop better solutions. Rohirrim originated with one late-night, all-hands Zoom meeting ahead of an RFP deadline. Determined to make those scrambles a thing of the past, we built a Generative AI platform that is trained solely on internal, unstructured data. Now known as Rohan, our platform is used by global enterprises to enhance critical business processes and accelerate growth.
