Design Partner Program

Run ARA in your stack.
Shape what it becomes.

We are looking for Series A/B AI/ML companies willing to run ARA in staging or production. Design partners get direct engineering access, early access to v1.2 features, and a named reference in our release notes. We get real-world feedback from production environments.

Direct engineering access, not support tickets
NDA before any architecture discussion
POC in your environment in 2 weeks
