Quality and Reliability Matter

Great products and services are worth finding. Yet discovering new options and verifying their information is too time-consuming and error-prone. It doesn't have to be like this.

Guidebolt is your unbiased third-party source of correct, useful, efficient information that helps you make better decisions.

Interactive Platform for Guided Decision-Making

Our unique focus is our rigorous commitment to correctness, especially for finding the solutions that balance your multiple requirements, on our easy-to-use online interface.

We know the importance of information that is reliable, keeping downstream decisions worry-free and saving time from having to manually double-check. Humbly, when we don't know something, we say we don't know. Everything we do say always exceeds our minimum confidence threshold and typically comes with a visible certainty score.

Guidebolt's technology is based on its 7 years of research on information theory and high-reliability generalization, in addition to the team's experience pioneering open source hardware and industrial automation since 2012.

Consistently Accurate By Design

Powered by a new type of AI technology (not LLM) that learns correctly at the deepest logical level of the neural network: the Unified Polylogic Model (UPM).

  • Class II AI Technology in accordance with ISO/IEC TR 5469 : Functional Safety and AI Systems
  • Use of TÜV SÜD-Qualified Software Compiler Toolchain with IEC 61508 (industrial), IEC 62304 (medical), ISO 26262 (automotive) certifications

Security With Forethought

Exceeding industry standards for protecting data-in-transit, data-at-rest, and computational integrity.
