Real-Time Computing + Gen AI = Vantiq

Vantiq is a startup company solving the complex world of real-time events (capture, analyze, and take immediate action) for the enterprises. The founders of Vantiq (Marty Sprinzen and Paul Butterworth) are two veterans of the industry having created companies like Forte in the 1990s. Vantiq is a software platform in which software applications can be built that continuously monitor what is happening and act as needed – when problems occur.

Vantiq applications use the most advanced technologies to address today’s challenges – to analyze data from sensors, to evaluate situations using AI and generative AI, to run where best suited (Cloud or Edge), and to collaborate with humans as needed. Vantiq incorporates all of these technologies within a single platform. The creation of real-time applications follows a seamless design-dev-test-production flow and can happen very fast. The goal of sense-analyze-action also helps in true real-time event management.

Founded eight years ago, it has recently directed its focus primarily on sectors that will absolutely require real-time computing capabilities – climate change, defense, and healthcare. Other areas like manufacturing and smart building management are also deploying Vantiq in pilot projects.

Picture a factory where a machine suddenly shows an unusual sensor reading, like a voltage drop. Instead of merely alerting a technician, a Vantiq-powered application can do much more. It not only warns the operator but also, by consulting a database of the company's manuals and repair instructions, suggests immediate solutions.

In the healthcare realm, Vantiq applications can aid in many areas, such as remotely monitoring of patients. When the system detects anomalous readings, it could automatically prompt a generative AI system which will diagnosis and/or suggest actions which could then be relayed to medical personnel.

LLM or Gen AI is the icing on the cake. Vantiq has innovated - how Generative AI is used in real time by automatically using it as needed without human involvement. Vantiq creates and updates prompts in real time and trains the system as things change in real time. This will minimize human interaction and create a fast machine-to-machine communication for zero-latency insight and action.

It is time, we take Generative AI into the enterprise in a meaningful way so that it becomes part of critical problem solving. Vantiq is leading the way in real-time computing + generative AI.
