Soracom Flux and Query Intelligence accelerate IoT projects with GenAI application integration and natural-language network analysis
Soracom, Inc., global provider of advanced Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, announced two new services designed to accelerate deployment of larger and more complex IoT projects by embedding Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities more deeply in the IoT connectivity stack. Soracom Flux is a low-code application builder that allows even non-technical users to build AI-integrated IoT applications in real time by defining data flows between sensors, cameras, actuators, GenAI engines and the cloud. Soracom Query Intelligence simplifies management of large IoT deployments with natural-language network data analysis.
Soracom Flux is a low-code IoT application builder that makes it easy to create custom applications that automate operations by integrating multiple data sources with leading cloud-based GenAI engines, including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Microsoft Azure AI, and Amazon Bedrock. Using Soracom Flux, teams can create powerful IoT applications in minutes, with significant use cases in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, energy, retail, and security. For instance, Soracom Flux can easily generate an application based on user-defined data flows and natural-language instructions to send an alert if people in a camera’s field of vision on a work site are not wearing appropriate protective gear.
Soracom Query Intelligence applies GenAI to give managers of large IoT deployments the ability to query their IoT network data in natural language and receive immediate analysis in the form of descriptive text and data visualizations. Soracom Query Intelligence builds on the Soracom Query managed data warehouse service to store and analyze platform-level data including device connection session history, data usage, and billing information. Soracom Query Intelligence allows anyone to perform complex data analysis with no need for SQL programming or data visualization experience.

For example, users can identify unstable devices on a large network for troubleshooting by simply asking for a list of SIMs with high frequency of connection/disconnection. Or users managing a nationwide fleet of moving vehicles can identify areas where carrier switching is required to maintain connection by asking for a map showing all SIMs currently connected to a specific carrier.
“We’ve always envisioned an Internet of Things where connected devices can interact with each other to make decisions in real time,” said Kenta Yasukawa, Soracom CTO and co-founder. “The emergence of public GenAI services holds the potential to fulfill that vision. Soracom Flux and Soracom Query Intelligence drive AI much deeper within the IoT stack. Project teams can now accomplish in minutes what once took months and required expert skills, and even nontechnical managers can now enjoy complete control of even the largest and most globally distributed IoT networks.”
Soracom Flux is now available to all Soracom customers in Public Beta with a free tier. Pro and Enterprise plans will be made available later this year. Soracom Query Intelligence is currently available to select Soracom customers as a Technology Preview. Interested customers are invited to contact Soracom to apply.
