Calliope started the way a lot of real breakthroughs do — from painful experience.

Calliope brings modular, dynamic chatflow design together with agentic planning, live retrieval pipelines, multi-model orchestration, and full observability.

Our founder needed to run A/B tests across multiple AI models to figure out which approach would perform best for a live application. Simple idea, right? But the tooling landscape was a mess — fragmented, manual, slow, and brittle. Testing different prompts, models, data sources, and retrieval setups all at once? Practically impossible without endless duct-tape engineering. After spending way too long patching together custom scripts, ad-hoc pipelines, and fragile workflows just to run basic experiments, it became clear: There had to be a better, easier way.

But there wasn’t. So we built it.

Calliope exists because real AI development deserves real tools — not toys, not hacks, not hope. Structured, scalable, elegant — built by engineers who know what it feels like to wrestle with brittle systems and still want to ship something smarter.

Why the name Calliope?

Calliope was the muse of epic poetry — the force that helped creators turn ideas into stories that moved civilizations. We think great AI systems deserve the same.
