Synthesize Incredibly Powerful Software
Tau is a tool for synthesizing Software that adapts to your requirements, pioneering the most powerful logical AI reasoning abilities
Founder of KRDB Research Centre, Principal Investigator of applied research projects at European Space Agency; Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute of the Faculty of Engineering at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
“Tau is for engineers who understand the significance of model-based Software development and pushing its boundaries. It is a precision tool, supporting in a streamlined fashion, the requirements, analysis, verification and validation of complex systems."
- Prof. Enrico Franconi
Requirements are The New Software
Build Software That Adapts to You
Developers
Simply give requirements and synthesize Software that adapts to them with guaranteed accuracy. Tau-built Software stays formally correct-by-construction according to your set of requirements, merging team goals with the final product.
Your users: Worldviews
Enable individualized Software for end-users. Configure your Software to adapt to external requirements, allowing it to adapt to personal requirements called “Worldviews”. Tau-built Software can adapt to groups of Worldviews, enabling userbase-driven Software.
Features
Mechanized Logical AI Reasoning
The Most Powerful Reasoning, ever
Bring Software to life with mechanized reasoning abilities to: deduce specialized knowledge from information, reason over Software, including its own – permitting autonomous collaboration, and adapt upon reasoning insights and requirements.
Logical Reasoning Software examples
Software as Sentences™
Easier Lang Interfaces
Enable low-code, human readable software development, with the ability to give Synthesizable requirements in logical sentences using Controlled Natural Language interfaces (and KRR langs), that look like everyday language.
Benefits
Correctness, Guaranteed
Constructively prove the correctness of all Software operations in finite time with guarantees, and ensure computational resources are not wasted, since Tau Language is a decidable variant of temporal logic.
Cut Traditional Testing Cycles
Testing is no longer for bugs as each description is an executable specification, resulting in correct-by-construction Software, according to your description. Testing is now ensuring your description is as desired.

End to End Software Verification
Reduce error risk and redevelopment costs. Create entire Software with an end-to-end, full formal verification development method, Synthesized from formal Specifications.
Consistency Automated
Tau detects any contradictions in your specification and guarantees that a valid program that meets the specification exists. For any input at any point in time, exists a memory state or output as specified.
Truly Aligned AI
Validation, Simplified
Read Software in the form of logical sentences that are easier to understand. Query Tau-built Software and get accurate explanations of its functionality and possible behavioural outcomes if requirements were to be changed.
Collaborative Synthesis
Highly-Scalable Development
Frictionless Scaling
Scale development efficiently. Enable rapid development by adding requirements from any number of developers, AI agents and stakeholders and your Software adapts to them collectively, making team growth simple.
Develop Versions Simultaneously
Develop many versions of Software in tandem by giving requirements across multiple specifications simultaneously. Work on the same part of the Software and across versions concurrently with version control, Software Comparison and one-click implementation.
Develop Accurately and Safely
Fully trust the safety of your development process. Set prohibitive and obligating requirements over any part of your Software to ensure that it is created in a safe manner.
Post Release Security
Create Software with the ability to secure itself. Embed prohibitive behavior and requirements into your Software, and it will automatically reject all updates or external tampering that includes unwanted behavior.
Streamlined Compliance
Stay compliant with changing rules and regulations, by embedding formalized standards and laws from Certified external sources as Software requirements. As standards change, your Software automatically adapts to them.
Easy Maintenance
Do More in Smaller Teams
Modify Software 10x easier. Give “do” and “never do” style requirements which the Software then adapts to. Tau retains Software integrity, removing maintenance issues and reliance on collaborators, identifying conflicting requirements for resolution before Synthesis.
Under the Hood
Tau Language
Tau Language is a formal specification language with quantification over sentences, a temporal dimension and description logics. All Software created in Tau Language is fully-correct-by-construction according to given requirements, as specifications are directly executable in its runtime.
Language Extension
Embed and extend a wide variety of other formal languages, in particular Knowledge Representation & Reasoning (KRR) Languages, to describe states, inputs and outputs in the specification.
Domain-Specific Knowledge
Use existing domain specific ontologies or define your own terms and build industry-specific Software solutions with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
From healthcare to finance, education, manufacturing, and beyond, design bespoke ontologies that precisely capture the unique knowledge structures and requirements of your industry.
More Powerful, More Accessible
Tau outperforms conventional formal methods with its inherent expressiveness, infinite data values and its extensibility to add more languages. It allows complete system specification of a wider and more complex range of Software, while ensuring correct-by-construction output.
Limitations
1. Tau is decidable, therefore it cannot express all possible programs. However, Tau has advanced expressiveness compared to common specification languages while maintaining its decidability, and it will be a challenge to find real-world Software that cannot be specified.
2. Formal Languages & Controlled Natural Languages (CNLs) have a learning curve to using them. However, the Tau software development tool and our combination of Natural Language Processing with Controlled Natural Language, makes it simpler to harness its power.
3. Logical reasoning typically requires high computational resources, however Tau uses novel and better algorithms alongwith extremely strong engineering expertise.
4. Tau is not a universal solution. There are cases where it may not be the optimal choice for a Software project. However, virtually any Software project will find parts that are suitable for Tau use.
