Tellius is a fast-growing AI analytics company headquartered in Reston, Virginia. We are transforming how enterprises interact with their data — moving beyond dashboards and static reports to an always-on, agentic intelligence platform that investigates, reasons, and delivers finished answers autonomously. Our platform, powered by Kaiya — Tellius's AI agent — connects to all your enterprise data, automatically investigates what changed and why, and delivers board-ready briefings, memos, and presentations before you even ask.
