Liner builds citation-backed AI agents for professionals and academics to search the web, research papers, and write in one workflow.
Liner is tackling a specific weakness of generative AI—answers that cannot be checked—by grounding search and research outputs in selected sources and sentence-level citations; it reports a 95.3 score on OpenAI's SimpleQA benchmark and more than 14 million registered users across 220 countries. The $36.1M Series C matters because it funds the shift from a consumer research tool to enterprise AI, with Liner saying its technology is deployed in HUMAIN ONE and that it will invest in R&D, infrastructure, global talent, and enterprise expansion.
