## What We Do

Ambertrace Labs builds neuro-symbolic AI (NSAI) architectures that combine advanced neural networks with rules- and theory-based reasoning. Our systems are explainable, auditable, and safe by design — "Glass Box" AI rather than "Black Box" AI. We focus on mission-critical sectors where AI decisions affect people, money, and compliance.

## Products and Platforms

### AmberTrace AI (ambertrace.ai)
Neurosymbolic AI platform-as-a-service. Customers define a domain, ingest data, and launch explainable AI platforms with full audit trails and immutable logic tracing.

### EddyAI Group (eddyaigroup.com)
AI tools co-designed with practitioners for education, employment, and leadership:
- **EddyAI MIND** — Digital companion for safeguarding, SEND, and wellbeing in schools and colleges
- **EddyAI FLOW** — Employment pathway support for NEET and diverse jobseekers
