Locusive

Locusive is a powerful platform designed to create and deploy intelligent, trainable AI copilots and autonomous agents for your applications and internal teams. It empowers businesses to unlock the value of their internal data by making it accessible through a simple chat interface. Locusive agents can connect to a wide range of data sources, including internal databases, help center documentation, and websites, to provide accurate, sourced answers to user questions 24/7. The platform is built on an autonomous agent framework that allows it to think, reason, and execute tasks, effectively acting as a digital team member that can search, analyze, and act on your data.

By leveraging multiple advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Llama 3, Locusive selects the best model for each specific task to ensure optimal accuracy, speed, and cost-efficiency. This multi-model approach, combined with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework, allows the system to provide precise answers based on your proprietary data and instructions, without the need for costly model fine-tuning.

How to use Locusive

Getting started with Locusive is designed to be straightforward. The process typically involves these steps:

1. Connect Data Sources: Begin by connecting your knowledge bases. For simple sources like Help Center documentation or websites, this requires just a few clicks. For more complex sources like internal databases, Locusive provides a secure integration process. You have full control to select which specific documents, tables, and columns the AI agent can access.
2. Train the Agent: Locusive doesn't train the underlying LLM on your data. Instead, you create training instructions, reference guides, and example queries. This context helps the agent understand your business logic, data schema nuances, and how to correctly formulate queries or find information. Locusive's team can assist in creating these materials.
3. Deploy the Copilot: Once configured, you can deploy the agent. It can be integrated into Slack for internal team use or embedded into your own application via their API to serve as a customer-facing copilot.
4. Interact and Automate: Users can then start asking questions in natural language. The Locusive agent will analyze the request, determine the best tool or data source to use, and perform a series of steps to find an answer, analyze data, or execute a predefined action.

Core Features of Locusive

• Autonomous Agent Framework: Agents can reason and perform multi-step tasks to answer complex questions.
• Multi-Source Data Integration: Connects to internal databases, help docs, websites, and supports custom data source integrations.
• Natural Language Database Querying: Allows non-technical users to query databases using plain English, which Locusive translates into safe, read-only SQL queries.
• Three Core Skills (Search, Analyze, Act): Agents can find information, perform quantitative and qualitative analysis, and execute actions via APIs to automate workflows.
• Advanced AI Model Selection: Dynamically uses models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Llama 3 to optimize for performance and cost.
• Developer API: Provides a robust API for developers to build and integrate their own custom agents without managing complex infrastructure.
• Security-First Design: Ensures data security through read-only database access, credential encryption, and checks for malicious requests.

Use Cases for Locusive

Locusive is versatile and can be applied in various scenarios:

• SaaS Copilots: Embed an AI assistant in your software to guide users, automate onboarding, answer feature questions, and reduce the load on support teams.
• Internal Team Assistants: Deploy an agent in Slack to give your sales, marketing, or HR teams instant, self-serve access to data from internal databases and documents, eliminating the need to ask data teams for simple reports. For example, a sales rep could ask, "Which customers had the highest order value last quarter?" and get an immediate answer.
• E-commerce Support: The purpose-built "Nobi" agent for e-commerce merchants can improve site search, answer product questions, and provide intelligent cross-sell recommendations.
• Grant Writing Assistance: As shown in a case study with GrantExec, Locusive can sift through vast databases to find the most relevant grant offerings for customers, reducing response times and costs by up to 85%.

Advantages of Locusive

Locusive offers significant advantages over building an in-house solution. It democratizes data access, allowing non-technical team members to make data-driven decisions independently. This frees up valuable engineering and data science resources for more critical tasks. The platform's off-the-shelf nature drastically reduces development time and cost. Its focus on security, with features like read-only access and query validation, mitigates the risks associated with giving an AI direct database access. The multi-LLM strategy ensures that you are always using the best tool for the job, balancing performance and cost effectively.

Pricing and Plans

Locusive offers a freemium model with a generous trial period.

• Free Plan: $0/month. This plan includes limited monthly messages (max 50), access to slower LLMs, and integration with file/website data sources only. It does not include API access, and inactive organizations are removed after 30 days.
• Paid Plan: $25/month + $0.50/message (50 monthly messages included). This plan unlocks all features, including daily data refreshing, all integrations (including databases), optimized LLMs for speed and accuracy, 100K monthly API requests, and ticket-based support.
• Enterprise Plan: Custom pricing. This plan is for organizations requiring custom builds, uptime SLAs, custom integrations, and dedicated support via Slack, email, and tickets.
• Free Trial: New users can get a 3-month free trial of the Paid plan's features to fully evaluate the platform.
