Sphere builds its AI platform using Oracle Autonomous Database
Sphere Global Holdings built its AI platform OrgBrain, which provides AI-driven services for compliance, governance, and operations for enterprise decision-making, using Oracle Autonomous Database with AI Vector Search and integrated LLMs. The platform draws on relational, vector, spatial, JSON, and graph data to simplify tasks such as writing evidence-based grant proposals in minutes instead of weeks. Government agencies using Sphere cut the time to create a first draft of a notice of funding opportunity from a week or two to about five minutes.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
As a startup with a small development team, Sphere needed a cost-effective, high-performance data platform that could handle massive data sets, integrate AI capabilities, and meet clients' stringent data residency requirements, without having to integrate multiple specialty databases for vector, spatial and graph data.
The solution
Sphere built its OrgBrain AI platform on a single Oracle Autonomous Database that draws on relational, vector, spatial, JSON and graph data formats, using Oracle AI Vector Search, Oracle REST Data Services, and Oracle JSON Relational Duality Views on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Reported business value
OrgBrain can now write evidence-based grant proposals in minutes instead of weeks, cut the time to draft a first notice of funding opportunity from a week or two to about five minutes, and reduced query processing time from minutes to seconds; Oracle REST Data Services also saved months of development time, letting Sphere keep its development team small.
