About the Company
We are Orbital, an AI company on a mission to automate the legal segment of every property transaction in the world. We iterate rapidly to build products that utilize the bleeding-edge of Generative AI, powered by the latest foundation Large Language Models (LLMs) including GPT-4o and o3.
