Introducing Prorok AI
We're excited to introduce Prorok AI, a platform designed to push the boundaries of what's possible with predictive software today.
Our mission is to empower organizations to explore, understand, and shape their domains through advanced computational modeling and AI-driven insights—especially where traditional analytics and plain AI fall short.
Why simulation-based prediction?
The world is getting more chaotic. Traditional foresight and planning are yielding less reliable results. Organizations that invested in statistical modeling still face familiar limits: heavy dependence on historical data, brittle predictions outside the training distribution, and difficulty reasoning about complex, interacting systems.
Meanwhile, business has rushed to adopt LLMs for decision support. By 2026 it's clear that for anything beyond productivity and cost reduction, LLM-only solutions are not enough. Model gains are plateauing; operational costs aren't falling as hoped. To get real predictive leverage—to understand situations before they happen and out-maneuver competition—you need more than pattern matching on past data or generative text. You need modeling and simulation at scale, with AI used to augment model creation and analysis, not replace it.
The landscape: BigBear.ai, AnyLogic, and beyond
Established players have already shown the value of simulation for decision-making.
BigBear.ai pairs AI with simulation in several ways. Their Dominate® platform is an AI-powered time-series forecasting engine that turns multiple data streams into forecasts and guidance—useful for supply chain planning and scenario analysis. Their ProModel suite uses discrete-event simulation so organizations can predict process behavior, test scenarios, and de-risk change; ProModel.ai extends this with a cloud-based digital twin fed by real-time operational data. The focus is on converting data into outcomes and making simulation actionable for operations.
AnyLogic pioneered multimethod simulation: combining agent-based modeling (autonomous agents with individual behavior), system dynamics (feedback loops, aggregate behavior), and discrete-event simulation (event sequences over time) in a single tool. That flexibility lets teams represent complex systems—supply chains, healthcare, manufacturing, social processes—with the right abstraction for each part of the problem. Their "Big Book of Simulation Modeling" and long-standing emphasis on agent-based modeling have helped make multimethod and agent-based approaches mainstream in industry.
What’s still missing for many organizations is a modern, scalable platform that:
- Runs agent-based and heterogeneous models at scale, in a distributed way
- Offers a simple, intuitive experience for building and inspecting simulations
- Integrates AI into the loop—for model creation, scenario exploration, and analysis—instead of treating simulation and AI as separate tools
That’s where Prorok comes in.
Core objectives and motivations
We believe simulation-based prediction deserves more attention and better tooling.
Prorok is built for organizations that need a better understanding of complex internal and external processes. We bring together:
- Large-scale agent-based simulation — Entities, behaviors, and interactions in virtual worlds that you can step, query, and replay
- Distributed, heterogeneous modeling — A multiverse runtime that can host different models and scale out
- A simple, intuitive interface — So domain experts and analysts can work with simulations without fighting the stack
- AI-augmented workflows — Using modern AI to help create models, explore scenarios, and interpret results, while simulation provides the grounding that raw LLMs lack
The word Prorok has Slavic roots and translates roughly to oracle or prophet. Prorok AI points to the kind of predictive power that comes from combining modern AI with large-scale computer simulation—understanding situations before they happen, and shaping decisions accordingly.
In upcoming posts we’ll go deeper: how agent-based simulation grounds AI predictions, how to build digital twins with Prorok, and how to get started with your first simulation. Welcome to Prorok.
