Formic AI

Formic AI is a Canadian enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) developer solving the crisis of trust in professional information retrieval. Our flagship commercial product, the Formic Engine, is a secure, privacy-first enterprise search platform designed for regulated industries. The Engine allows organizations to safely search and summarize internal data without exposing it to third-party risk. It utilizes "Intuitive Referencing," a proprietary reverse retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework that provides non-generative, sentence-level citations, ensuring every output is traceable to a verified internal source.Formic AI is advancing the frontier of Canadian AI through our experimental R&D initiative, Boreal. Boreal is a patent-pending neuro-symbolic architecture designed to shatter the "black box" paradigm of generative AI models. Early benchmarks indicate this verifiable-by-design architecture is up to 1,000,000 times more computationally efficient than traditional transformers, positioning it as a sustainable, sovereign alternative for the future of explainable AI.
