Elemental Cognition is a New York based artificial intelligence company founded in 2015 by Dr. David Ferrucci, the researcher who led the IBM Watson Jeopardy! project. The company builds a neuro-symbolic AI platform that pairs fine-tuned large language models with a formal, multi-strategy reasoning engine, so that answers are produced by the reasoning engine over an explicit Formal Knowledge Model rather than by the language model itself. The platform is marketed for high-stakes decision work in supply chain, life sciences, higher education, travel and investment management, and it was the reasoning layer behind Bridgewater's AI investment fund. Elemental Cognition packaged this as the Cogent and Cora enterprise applications, delivered as SaaS on Google Cloud, in a customer's own cloud, or on premises. The company does not run a public developer program: the platform generates callable cloud APIs automatically from each customer's own knowledge model, so the contract is tenant-specific and never published publicly.
