Who We Are
Formic AI is a Canadian artificial intelligence developer dedicated to solving the "Crisis of Trust" in enterprise technology. While conventional Large Language Models (LLMs) offer unprecedented fluency, their probabilistic nature makes them inherently unreliable for the rigorous demands of regulated and high-sectory sectors like law, defence, and government. We do not compete with these models; we complete them. Through our flagship system, Boreal, we have pioneered a neuro-symbolic "Governance Layer" that decouples factual knowledge from text generation. By utilizing patented deterministic verification, Boreal ensures that every output is anchored in absolute provenance, eliminating the "black box" problem and providing the sentence-level auditability required for accountability.
Accuracy
Combining context awareness with neuro-symbolic computation, Formic enables true semantic search and information retrieval functionality that provides answers, not guesses.
Trust
Formic provides hallucination-proof citations and a deterministic "Governance Layer" to manage generative responses, ensuring that Formic's system cannot provide a hallucinated answer.
Efficiency
Due to Formic's graph-based architecture and Boreal's "Governance Layer," we can completely replace Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with a new context-governing system. This results in an overall reduction in compute of up to 95% when compared to RAG.
Sovereignty
Formic's systems are designed to be both modular and self-reliant. Combining this focus with the efficiencies Boreal creates, we are able to deploy Formic's technology in any cloud or local network environment, including on-premise and air-gapped environments.
"Overall, I think this is probably one of the most trust-worthy AI tools... it does not make anything up and clearly uses the source documents to come up with answers"
