What Palantir offers
The product notes below come from the Palantir website and the Foundry documentation, read on October 24, 2026. Palantir does not publish prices; plans and quotes come from its team.
| Palantir product | How Palantir presents it | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Foundry | Brings data and analytics into daily operational decisions. Data, analytics and operations teams work on a shared logic layer without duplicating the underlying data | Foundry |
| AIP | Workflow Builder for AI apps, actions and agents, with evaluation tooling. The Ontology SDK supports app development, and AIP Now offers ready-made examples | AIP |
| Gotham | Decision software for defense and intelligence organizations | Gotham |
| Apollo | Continuous deployment and operations for software across multi-cloud, hybrid, private and even air-gapped environments | Apollo |
| Pipeline Builder | Build production-grade data pipelines without writing code | Pipeline Builder |
In Foundry, data first arrives through Data Connection. The documentation says it supports relational databases, FTPS, HDFS, S3, SFTP and local directories out of the box, with automatic retries and data health monitoring. The synced data is then mapped to objects, properties and links in the Ontology, which analysts and applications use (Ontology documentation).
Who it is for
Palantir's offerings page covers industries such as financial services, insurance, energy, automotive, consumer goods, life sciences, defense and government. It suits:
- Large organizations with complex, scattered systems that need to connect data from many sources and let business users work with it directly.
- Teams that want AI inside business processes, building agents and applications on one shared data model.
- Startups and mid-sized companies. The Palantir for Builders page says it gives them access to Foundry and AIP.
Build a "store reputation" object in Foundry
Foundry is strongest when it turns data into business objects that front-line staff act on. Retail chains, hotel groups and restaurant operators often have a gap here: internal systems hold sales and tickets for every site, but not what customers write about those sites on public platforms. EveryInfra fills that gap.
- Collect public reviews. Use the EveryInfra Google Maps reviews endpoint, Tripadvisor reviews and Booking reviews with each store or hotel URL to get ratings, dates and text.
- Bring it into Foundry. Write the results as CSV or JSON to S3 or SFTP and let Data Connection sync them as a dataset. Or use the Foundry REST API source, which supports HTTPS requests with Bearer tokens; EveryInfra authenticates with exactly that
Authorization: Bearerheader. - Model it. Define two object types in the Ontology, Store and Public Review, and link each review to its store by store ID.
- Act on it. When a regional manager sees in a Workshop app that one store's negative reviews this week cluster around queues or cleanliness, the manager can open a corrective task in the same flow as internal tickets.
Review volume varies by site, so send requests as async jobs and let Foundry collect results by job ID. Stores with no reviews, or calls that fail, are not billed. Confirm the REST API source setup with Palantir's documentation and team.
What to prepare before you talk to Palantir
Access goes through Palantir's sales team or the Palantir for Builders page. Before a demo, pull sample reviews for a handful of stores through EveryInfra so the modeling discussion starts from real fields. Scope and terms are defined on the Palantir website; this page only restates its public material.
