Expert-guided autonomy

Capture expertise.
Act with confidence.

Abstrae turns hands-on process knowledge into physics-aware causal models — then runs autonomous agents that detect problems, decide on fixes, and learn what works over time.

Capture expert knowledge

Turn the judgment of your best operators into physics-aware causal models — explicit, inspectable, and reusable.

Act, don't just alert

Agents don't stop at flagging risk — they decide on a fix, apply it, and learn from the outcome to do better next time.

Built for high-stakes, low-data

Every guarantee is a calibrated probability gated against an explicit confidence demand — designed for settings where clean training data is scarce.

How it works

From expert judgment to autonomous action

1

Capture knowledge as a causal model

Encode how specifications, problems and physical signals relate — a small DAG of transforms over realized measurements.

2

Build agents from composable activities

Assemble small blocks — workers that run code, managers that wire them together — into a tree that performs the task.

3

Learn from experience

Activities self-calibrate against ground truth using Bayesian, ML and reinforcement-learning methods — sharpening confidence over time.

4

Detect, decide, improve

At runtime, agents evaluate confidence against an explicit threshold, act when they're sure enough, and surface what they can't yet guarantee.

Watch agents reason, gate, and act in real time.

Every specification carries a live confidence and an explicit threshold. Pass when sure enough; surface what can't yet be guaranteed.

A spec passes only when calibrated confidence clears its demanded threshold.

Specs, problems and the scene update step-by-step as the mission runs.

trace

Drill into any activity to see the exact belief that drove each decision.

Why Abstrae

A different foundation for autonomy

Causal, physics-based expertise

Models encode why things happen, not just correlations — so they generalize and stay inspectable.

Acts instead of only predicting

Decisions lead to applied fixes, with confidence gating standing between belief and action.

Works where data is scarce

Expert structure plus calibration means you don't need mountains of clean labels to get started.

Complements existing automation

Sits alongside the systems you already run, adding judgment where rules and pipelines fall short.
