Deep research that gets smarter every week.

Charcoal uses RL directly on your data to learn how best to navigate it. Every production query, every correction, every flag feeds back into the model.

How it works

01

We ingest your query patterns

Charcoal learns from the real queries your agent makes, mapping them to the underlying terminology, aliases, and patterns unique to your corpus.

02

Any signal on wrong results

Thumbs down, a flag, a correction: any feedback your users or team give on bad results becomes a direct training signal.

03

RL checkpoints ship automatically

Feedback feeds into our RL loop. Improved model checkpoints are validated and deployedβ€”no manual tuning required.

"This is exactly what we were trying to build ourselves. An extremely well-tuned model for our specific use case, with evals and RL built in, so I don't have to build or maintain any of it.

I love it."
