Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Upstage
Application
Research-the-web chat assistant built on Upstage's Solar LLM family, answering questions with sources.
Document intelligence tool that extracts, drafts and reviews document-based work; referenced in a customer testimonial as helping brokers find answers across long documents.
Agent platform
Workspace for building and running document-processing agents from Upstage's parsing and extraction steps.
Writer
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.

API that converts PDFs and scanned documents into structured, machine-readable layout and text.
API that pulls named fields out of unstructured documents such as invoices, claims and contracts.
Model API
Upstage's family of agent-oriented language models -- Solar Pro 4 as a hosted API for terminal tasks, document workflows and multi-turn tool use, plus the open-weight Solar Open 2 (250B MoE, 15B active params) for self-hosting.
Writer sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Upstage yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
