Calypso - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Calypso is a cloud-based, hosted multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) platform that eliminates the need to build or maintain custom RAG infrastructure. Teams upload knowledge sources — PDFs, documents, websites, screenshots, images, diagrams, and Q&A pairs — into named, scoped Buckets. Those Buckets attach to hosted Agents that deliver source-grounded, citation-backed answers across websites, APIs, MCP clients, n8n workflows, and product UIs. Retrieval is powered by multimodal file search supporting text and visual content, with configurable effort levels (fast, medium, or extended) selected per query. A planning mode decomposes complex questions into sub-questions and parallelizes independent retrieval branches for deeper analysis. Agents are configurable per team or surface, with controls over citation policy, retrieval scope, and response effort. The OpenAI-compatible API allows existing toolchains to call hosted Agents using familiar request patterns. An embeddable website widget surfaces cited answers directly in customer-facing interfaces. MCP and n8n integrations support bucket inspection, file uploads, and agent calls from automation workflows.

Calypso targets teams and developers shipping production RAG into real product surfaces, including customer support, sales enablement, legal and compliance, onboarding, and financial analysis use cases such as SEC filing review. Pricing is answer-based — fixed monthly answer allowances plus prepaid Answer Packs (1,000 answers for $10) — with no token metering or surprise overage charges. Multi-seat support is available, with one seat included per plan and additional seats at $19 per seat per month. No self-hosted or on-premises deployment option is available; all infrastructure is managed and hosted via Calypso's cloud endpoints.
