Primitive

Primitive is an AI agent operating system purpose-built for regulated financial institutions, enabling banks to move from fragmented experimentation to governed, production-scale deployment. As AI agents take on execution across the enterprise, financial institutions face a fundamental challenge: how to deploy them with the control, transparency, and accountability required in regulated environments. Primitive addresses this directly — offering a complete system to create, integrate, deploy, govern, and measure AI agents with full visibility and control. At its core, Primitive connects AI agents to enterprise systems, enables rapid creation of production-ready use cases, and ensures every action is traceable, controlled, and auditable by design. This allows institutions to move beyond passive insights into real-time, intelligent execution — without compromising trust or compliance. Primitive introduces Agent Capital as a new form of enterprise capital, alongside Return on Agent Capital (ROAC) as the framework for measuring its impact. As financial and human capital defined previous eras of banking, Agent Capital defines the next — where AI agents operate as governed, measurable drivers of growth and efficiency. The platform is designed not only for deployment, but for organisational change. As workflows evolve alongside autonomous systems, Primitive enables institutions to align people and agents — ensuring both scale together. Primitive is backed by Fin Capital and Pelion Venture Partners, and is part of the NVIDIA Inception Program, Google for Startups, and Microsoft for Startups ecosystems.
