Welcome to Applied Compute! Applied Compute builds Specific Intelligence — purpose-built systems trained for specific work at specific companies. We help organizations unlock their own data, use it to train proprietary models, and deploy them as an agent workforce that learns, improves, and delivers measurable business impact. Our mission is to turn data moats into model moats — giving companies not just models, but capable digital teammates that work alongside their human counterparts. We have created these Terms of Service ("Terms") to govern the relationship between Applied Compute ("Applied Compute", "we" and "our") and the entity or person ("Customer", "you", "your") when you visit our website www.appliedcompute.com or using any of our services (collectively, the "Services").

Together, these Terms and our Privacy Policy form the Agreement ("Agreement") that governs your use of our Services. By using our Services, you agree to this Agreement. If we update these Terms, we'll post a new version here with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continuing to use the Services means you accept the new Terms.
