Elemental Cognition AI integrates large language models (LLMs) with a formal reasoning engine so you can quickly deploy AI apps that reliably, accurately, and transparently solve your hardest business problems.
Fill the LLM reasoning void
Benchmark performance tests show how best-in-class LLMs like GPT4 suffer from a reasoning void. The more complex your problem gets, the more LLM accuracy drops. Elemental Cognition solves those problems accurately and reliably using our formal reasoning engine.
100% accuracy
EC AI maintains 100% accuracy across a broad set of problems. GPT4 accuracy drops to below 13% as complexity grows.
100% error detection
EC AI knows how to reliably identify incorrect solutions. It detects errors 100% of the time compared to just 40% for GPT4.
100% error repair
EC AI understands what’s wrong so it can interactively fix it. GPT4 fails at this task and can only repair 18% of errors.
‘In a high-stakes, regulated industry like ours at Bridgewater’s AI fund, reliable AI is crucial. Our automated investment associate uses Elemental Cognition’s reasoning engine… This gives us a more reliable, transparent AI solution for investment research that not only performs well but also explains its logic formally.’

AI that actually understands and explains
EC AI’s reasoning engine, not its LLMs, produce answers based on complex reasoning over precise knowledge. The result is more reliable and accurate, plus less expensive to operate.
EC Reasoning Engine
Multi-strategy reasoning engine solves hard problems
The core of EC’s neuro-symbolic AI architecture is the reasoning engine. It combines multiple types of powerful, general reasoning strategies that work together to solve hard problems efficiently with traceable logic. It, not the LLM, generates answers that are provably correct.
LLMs
Fine-tuned LLMs make knowledge accessible
Fine-tuned LLMs bridge the gap between human knowledge and the reasoning engine. They transform natural language into formal knowledge structures with precise meaning. They also translate formal answers into natural language to communicate fluently with end users.
Formal Knowledge Model
Formal knowledge models enable reliable precision
Transparent and easy to read like natural language, but also precise, unambiguous, and rigorous. Formal knowledge models are more like math or code. These models are continuously refined and validated for logical consistency by the reasoning engine.
APIs
Cloud APIs power fast and scalable app deployment
Customized based on your knowledge model and generated automatically by the reasoning engine. Callable cloud APIs are ready to connect directly into any multi-modal frontend for your application, so you can add capabilities for problem-solving, formal reasoning, and more.
Enterprise applications
Enterprise AI apps capable of complex reasoning
Rapidly create and deploy custom AI apps that you can rely on for accurate and transparent answers. Build expert problem-solving applications that interact fluently with end users. Connect knowledge acquisition and reasoning APIs to accelerate critical insights from unstructured data.
Fluent
Interact with AI in natural language.
Reliable
Get predictable, valid, and unbiased results.
Transparent
See explicit, traceable decision procedures.
Precise
Use unambiguous formal systems.
Efficient
Compute efficiently with formal algorithms.
Scale expert decision-making with no code
Capture your precise requirements in natural language, then generate interactive problem-solving APIs and multi-modal AI apps.
Capture your business knowledge precisely from documents and experts.
Eliminate the back and forth between programmers and business analysts to define app requirements. Ingest your data or chat with EC AI to quickly turn imprecise language about your business needs into a precise formal knowledge model that governs the logic of your application.
Generate a formal knowledge model anyone can read.
Forget coding co-pilots. Skip coding entirely. Your model is a structured, logically precise document with specifications in readable English that are easy to update and maintain. It connects directly to the reasoning engine to run your app.
Optimally solve complex problems with an efficient reasoning engine.
The EC reasoning engine drives your custom application by automatically ensuring valid, optimal solutions. It transparently resolves conflicts and generates explanations. It decides what to say, explains the trade-offs, and reliably solves complex problems for end users.
Deploy multi-modal apps powered by interactive APIs.
Connect the front end of any multi-modal application to APIs generated automatically by the EC reasoning engine. Integrate knowledge acquisition, formal reasoning, problem-solving, and discovery APIs across your enterprise stack.
