Formic AI

About Formic AI

Formic AI develops enterprise search and knowledge-retrieval technology for regulated and high-stakes environments. Its architecture is designed to limit responses to information contained in documents authorized by the customer and to provide traceable citations for the information included in each answer.

The company’s technology consists of the Boreal Governance Layer and the Formic Engine. Formic positions this architecture as an alternative to probabilistic enterprise search and retrieval systems where users must manually verify generated answers against source documents.
