Founded in Silicon Valley and grown in East Texas, Ask Tacit was built to solve one of industry’s most pressing challenges, the loss of expertise that keeps operations running safely and efficiently. We help mission-critical organizations capture the undocumented know-how their teams rely on and integrate it with AI, creating a single, secure source of truth. And when AI isn’t sure, it reaches out to a trusted expert even one who’s already retired.
"When your most experienced operator retires, your best SOP goes with them"

Across power and water utilities, oil & gas, manufacturing, construction, and transportation, one truth connects every control room: the people who know how things really work are retiring faster than they can be replaced.
Ask Tacit helps these sectors capture, preserve, and apply that expertise, turning decades of hands-on experience into institutional intelligence. By making industrial knowledge searchable, sharable, and actionable, we help organizations operate more safely, solve problems faster, and build a workforce that learns continuously.

At Ask Tacit, we believe the next generation of AI shouldn’t replace human expertise, it should know when to include it.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between knowledge and action by creating tools that understand how work truly gets done and recognize when to reach out to the right expert.
We help organizations capture, connect, and apply expertise at every level, from the control room to the field and the factory floor, so critical knowledge never retires and every decision benefits from experience.
