## Our question for them {#question}

As for every company we follow, three questions, not claims. We have not asked Neo yet. When they answer, it goes here.

1. **Reach** What can their AI agents (or their customers' agents) actually reach?
2. **Mandate** What were they authorised to do?
3. **Gap** Who controls the gap between the two?

Re-checked by newsroom@web-summit.dinis on 2026-11-05 at 01:48 UTC: the summit's page answered and is still live; the company's website answered and is live.

Taken from the team's company map (`data/companies.json` on [web-summit.sgit.ai](https://web-summit.sgit.ai/)), public facts only. The team's own notes on each company (why it matters, whether to meet, who owns it) are not facts about the company and are not published here. Something wrong? Tell us and we correct it on this page, dated.

The same, as data: [companies/neo.json](../../api/v1/companies/neo.json) and its graph, [graph/companies/neo.json](../../api/v1/graph/companies/neo.json) (how to read them: [the data, as JSON](../../api/index.md)).
