Lucid is a game changer. This revolutionary software and services company uses causal reasoning AI –  targeted to solve the world’s ‘big data’ problems that result from CSV — a Complex array of information in an escalating Scale of volume and Velocity by which it appears or must be cognized.

Unlike companies that offer process analysis and optimization or other kinds of knowledge management systems, Lucid’s technology leverages the world’s most complete knowledge system, Cyc – an artificially-intelligent reasoning engine, a software “thinking brain”.

Built from the bottom up to emulate the same way humans learn, Cyc currently holds millions of pieces of knowledge comprising the broad foundations of human common-understanding, as well as more than a thousand different “thinking modes” mimicking how humans think. After 25+ years of development, Lucid is adding industry-specific information to this already-created repository of real-world knowledge to attack issues germane to industries where it makes sense to increase safety yields by protecting the investment – either physically, monetarily, or by predictive scenarios.

The core of Lucid’s AI products are deployed in  30+ US and European government agencies and 300+ universities globally. It’s technology already underpins the European governments’ Large Knowledge Collider Project and other prominent knowledge-based AI projects. In addition, this technology has been successfully deployed at scale in powerful initial applications within the financial services, pharmaceutical, oil/gas, and other industries.

In the long term, Lucid’s goal is to create access to intelligence in a way that lives are simpler and where decisions can be made that are not penalized by time, complexity or anything detrimental to the decision-making process. We believe that  industry clouds will be the best way to deliver this intelligence because of their ubiquitous state and universal access  - commonsense, everywhere, all of the time.

Lucid is currently creating partnerships with key solution providers to deliver scaled applications to leading financial and oil gas services companies. Founded in Austin, TX, Lucid also has offices in Slovenia.
