EC-AI

Elemental Cognition (EC) is a leading artificial intelligence company that develops scalable and transparent AI solutions for businesses and organizations. EC's AI platform combines the latest generative AI technology from Vertex AI with EC’s proprietary reasoning and deep natural language understanding technology. This combination allows EC to produce solutions that can understand complex problems, collaborate with users to solve them, and explain the results. EC's AI platform is delivered as SaaS software deployed on Google Cloud, leveraging key capabilities like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and BigQuery to achieve the scale, speed, and ease of management necessary to support customers with big data and complex problems.

EC's AI platform supports two main products: Cora and Cogent. Cora is designed for research and knowledge discovery, enabling faster, higher-quality research for mission-critical discovery and evidence-based decisions. Cogent tackles complex scheduling, configuration, planning, and optimization problems quickly and with provable correctness. Both products leverage the strengths of large language models available in Vertex AI and apply them in combination with EC's structured knowledge and logical reasoning technology to generate trustworthy, evidence-based results.
