Toronto-based Formic AI has launched Boreal, an explainable language model built for organizations demanding artificial intelligence. Instead of probabilistic text generation, Boreal transforms unstructured documents into a structured knowledge graph. Answers are checked against original sources, with reasoning steps logged end to end.
Chief executive Daniel Escott said trust depends on reviewing conclusions and evidence paths. The system blends neuro-symbolic analysis with generative drafting, blocks unsupported claims, and lowers compute needs through precomputed graph traversal. Boreal supports on-premises, air-gapped deployment and governance over existing tools.
