Our Story

The Origin Story of Iternal

How a vision for better enterprise AI became a reality. From a small team with big ideas to a company transforming how businesses work with artificial intelligence.

"Every great technology starts with a simple observation: there has to be a better way. We saw enterprises struggling with AI — drowning in data, locked into cloud dependencies, and accepting mediocre accuracy as 'good enough.' We knew we could do better, and that conviction became Iternal."

John Byron Hanby, IV — Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Iternal Technologies

Where It All Began

Iternal Technologies was born from a fundamental frustration: enterprise AI wasn't living up to its promise. Organizations invested millions in AI initiatives, only to find themselves locked into expensive cloud subscriptions, struggling with data security concerns, and accepting accuracy rates that would be unacceptable in any other business context.

We didn't just want to improve enterprise AI — we wanted to reinvent it.

The breakthrough came with the development of IdeaBlock technology — a patented approach to data ingestion that maintains semantic relationships and context in ways traditional chunking simply cannot match. This innovation became the foundation for everything we build.

Today, Iternal serves enterprises worldwide with solutions that deliver 78X more accurate AI, 100% local processing options, and transformation outcomes that our clients call "MASSIVE." But we're just getting started. Our mission remains the same as it was on day one: make enterprise AI work the way it should have from the beginning.
