# Elemental Cognition

> Neuro-symbolic AI company founded in 2015 by Dr. David Ferrucci (IBM Watson). Elemental Cognition
> 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. Sold as the Cogent and Cora enterprise applications for supply chain, life
> sciences, higher education, travel and investment management.

## Status

- No public API: the platform generates a tenant-specific cloud API from each customer's Formal
  Knowledge Model. No OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL, MCP server or agent card is published.
- No developer portal, API reference, or documentation host. api.ec.ai, docs.ec.ai and
  developer.ec.ai do not resolve.
- As of 2026-08-12 the primary site ec.ai serves no content: TLS is refused on port 443 and port 80
  returns HTTP 409 with Cloudflare "error code: 1001". The last successful Internet Archive capture
  of the homepage is 2024-11-24; the Archive recorded a 409 on 2025-03-04.
- The product subdomains cogent.ec.ai and cora.ec.ai are dangling DNS records pointing at Google
  Cloud load balancers that present certificates belonging to unrelated third parties.
