# AUI (Augmented Intelligence)

> AUI builds Apollo-1, a neuro-symbolic foundation model and runtime for enterprise agents. Neural language understanding and symbolic logic run in one integrated computation: the model interprets the request, and an explicit program holds decision authority over which facts are accepted, which actions are permitted and what can be reported. Every turn leaves an inspectable execution trace.

Founded 2017 by Ohad Elhelo and Ori Cohen. Headquartered in New York.
