Prior Labs

A German AI startup specialised in understanding tables and spreadsheets.

Prior Labs, founded in Freiburg, builds AI models for tabular data: the tables, spreadsheets and databases where most business information actually lives. Chat models are famously mediocre at this, which makes the niche valuable.

Its partnership with SAP is a reminder that some of the most consequential AI is unglamorous: no conversation, just better predictions inside the software companies already use.
