About us

Built with a housing association, for housing associations.

Requests by Strata AI is a product from WeAreStrata Ltd, a UK company that builds software for organisations that have to justify decisions after the fact. We built this product with a Welsh housing association that was handling every request by hand, and we built it around their records, their disputes and their DPO's sign-off.

We chose to work with housing associations because their records are the hardest kind: dense with other people, scattered across systems, and requested mid-dispute. A general tool for every sector is a worse tool for yours.

We are not a redaction utility with a housing landing page. If you run social housing in the UK and answer requests about it, we are for you.

Strata AI products are built on Strata Recursive Logic™, our patent pending approach to making AI answers deterministic and repeatable.
