First GenAI and Agentic Reasoning for robot orchestration
Formant has unveiled F3, the first AI-native robotics management platform powered by Generative AI and Agentic Reasoning.
F3 transforms the orchestration layer with breakthrough intelligence to deliver effective robot management, efficient decision-making, and scalable operations across the enterprise.
According to McKinsey, 72% of organizations now use AI, and 71% deploy generative AI in at least one business function. However, while robots are becoming increasingly intelligent, the software used to manage them hasn’t kept pace.
“Something’s wrong here,” said Jeff Linnell, Founder and CEO of Formant. “AI is supposed to make work easier. But while the robots have evolved, the management layer is stuck in the past. The real bottleneck isn’t the machines—it’s the lack of intuitive, purpose-built software to run them. With F3, it’s not just about managing robots anymore. It’s about orchestrating intelligence.”
With F3, Formant introduces the first robotics platform built from the ground up to harness the full power of AI. F3 predicts problems before they occur, generates insights from complex data, and makes robotics operations accessible to anyone through natural language.
F3 provides a generative AI interface for the entire platform. It accepts voice and text commands, translates natural language into real-time actions, generates live data visualizations, executes robot tasks, movements, and fleet-wide operations, and enables hands-free control in the field.
A 24/7 agentic intelligence layer that monitors, analyses, and proactively recommends. It detects anomalies, predicts failures, provides unprompted, goal-aligned insights, generates incident summaries with root causes and recommended actions, and evolves with real-time feedback from users. The agentic intelligence layer also aligns with org-specific KPIs and metrics.
An AI-powered smart knowledge base, F3 turns scattered documentation into actionable answers instantly. It understands PDFs, diagrams, SOPs, and technical documents, connects concepts across documents via deep indexing, answers questions with cited sources and understands robotics terms, context, and operational intent.
AI agents a step to Physical AI robots
Autonomous AI agents that conduct multi-step investigations across data, systems, and fleet behaviour deliver deep research. F3 identifies root causes, recurring patterns, and shifts in robot performance, generates detailed reports with guidance, compares similar devices to detect anomalies and powers predictive maintenance through intelligent insight.
These AI-native features complement Formant’s proven capabilities in fleet management, teleoperation, mission control, tasking, incident resolution, and performance analytics.
F3 is the first significant step in Formant’s broader vision for Physical AI, a world where machines sense, decide, and act autonomously, intelligently, and in complete alignment with humans.
Forma aims to bring the data from machines, AI models, and enterprise systems together onto a single software platform. With this approach, AI models can be trained on massive, company-specific, and relevant datasets to deliver an intelligent, effective, and transformational ecosystem. In essence, what ChatGPT did for the digital world, Formant aims to do for the physical world.
