Enhances scalability and accessibility for enterprise robotics operations.
Integrates with enterprise systems like Google Drive and Jira for contextual intelligence.
Aligns with Formant’s vision for Physical AI, unifying robots, AI, and business systems.
Formant’s F3 platform marks a significant advancement in robotics management, addressing the limitations of outdated software. As 72% of organizations adopt AI and 71% deploy generative AI, per McKinsey, F3 introduces a purpose-built solution to manage smarter robots. “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.”
F3’s generative AI capabilities enable seamless interaction and proactive decision-making. Its voice command feature translates natural language into real-time robot actions and data visualizations, supporting hands-free control. The AI insights layer monitors fleets 24/7, detecting anomalies, predicting failures, and delivering goal-aligned recommendations. The smart knowledge base transforms scattered documentation into instant, actionable answers, while deep research agents conduct multi-step investigations to identify performance issues and enable predictive maintenance.
F3 is a cornerstone of Formant’s Physical AI strategy, which envisions machines that sense, decide, and act autonomously in alignment with business goals. “We’re entering an era where machines don’t just execute commands—they collaborate,” said Linnell. By unifying AI models, robotics, and enterprise systems like ERPs and ticketing platforms, F3 creates a collective intelligence ecosystem. This approach ensures robots operate with contextual relevance, driving efficiency and scalability across industries.
Built on Formant’s proven capabilities in fleet management, teleoperation, and analytics, F3 is trusted by enterprises like Softbank and BP. The platform’s integration with systems like Google Drive and Jira ensures alignment with organizational priorities, making it a transformative tool for managing complex robotics fleets. F3 empowers businesses to harness AI-driven insights, streamline operations, and unlock the full potential of their robotic investments.
Formant’s F3 platform sets a new standard for robotics management, combining generative AI and agentic reasoning to deliver intelligent, scalable, and accessible solutions. As enterprises increasingly rely on robotics, F3 positions Formant as a leader in the Physical AI revolution, enabling smarter, more connected operations.
Formant is charting the course toward Physical AI. With F3, our AI-native platform, we're bringing Generative AI and Agentic Reasoning to the orchestration layer of robotics empowering operations teams to manage complex fleets with greater speed, insight, and autonomy. F3 helps enterprises eliminate fragmentation, simplify orchestration, and elevate robotics management from manual oversight to intelligent coordination. Founded by former Google Robotics head Jeff Linnell, Formant bridges the digital-physical divide to unlock AI's real-world potential. Formant is based in San Francisco, and has accelerated robotics initiatives for major enterprises including Google, Softbank, BP, John Deere, Shell, and Westinghouse.
