What they do

Problem

LLM applications struggle with long context windows that increase token costs and reduce accuracy when important information is lost or diluted.

Solution

Compresr offers an API that compresses LLM context while preserving key information as a drop-in component for agents and RAG pipelines.

Who it's for

Developers and AI teams building LLM agents and RAG applications at startups and enterprises.
