OpenDI Mission: Open Standards for Decision Intelligence
We're building open standards for Decision Intelligence systems so they can work together like LEGO blocks. Join us in making better decisions through interoperable tools and shared frameworks.
Why This Matters
Ever tried integrating different AI/ML tools into a decision-making pipeline? It's a mess.
Every vendor speaks a different language. Every system has its own data format. You end up building custom integrations instead of solving actual problems.
We're fixing that.
OpenDI creates the missing layer between data/AI and real-world decisions. Think of it like:
- HTTP for the web
- POSIX for operating systems
- OpenAPI for REST APIs
- OpenDI for Decision Intelligence systems
What We're Building
Core Standards
A standardized language for decision-making workflows. Whether you're building enterprise software or research tools, everyone speaks the same language.
The interchange format for DI system components. Build your keyboard, we'll build the mouse—they'll just work together.
Includes a data schema for Causal Decision Models (CDMs)—the universal representation for decision intelligence.
⚠️ Active development—breaking changes possible, but your feedback shapes the future.
The Problem We're Solving
Today's biggest challenges—from climate change to business strategy—require connecting insights across domains. But we're stuck in silos:
Data scientists build models that executives can't use
AI systems that don't explain their reasoning
Decision tools that can't talk to each other
No common vocabulary for discussing decision architectures
The Vision
Imagine a world where:
- A climate model from Team A feeds into an economic simulator from Team B
- Your startup's decision tool integrates seamlessly with enterprise platforms
- Researchers and practitioners share a common framework
- The best ideas win because interoperability removes barriers
That's what standardization enables. That's what OpenDI delivers.
