Graiphic defined FROG from the ground up: a new graphical dataflow programming language. Created in our innovation center, it combines readable diagrams with open source designed for AI tooling, validation and modular execution architectures.
Our innovation opens the language foundations: source format, semantic rules, execution representation and runtime/compiler contracts. The intended gain is to put more engineering effort into the system you design and the quality of its logic.
01
Design the system directly.
Nodes, connections and data movement make the logic visible. Dependencies express execution order and opportunities for parallel processing.
02
Create with AI, retain control.
JSON-based .frog source is designed for generation and transformation by tools. The diagram and validation rules provide a structured way to review and control the result.
03
Preserve the value of your programs.
Readable source, Git workflows and public rules keep programs inspectable and usable by different tools.
04
Evolve your execution chain.
Source, language, IDE, runtimes and compilers have explicit boundaries. This modular architecture prepares multiple execution and deployment strategies.
Our ambition, in two charts
Visual clarity. Language depth.
AI and control
Generate the source. Inspect the system.
FROG brings together two AI-era needs: structured source that tools can produce and graphical logic that engineers can inspect. The goal is to keep generated programs understandable, validatable and controllable.

Accessibility and execution
From diagrams to demanding systems.
Visual expression accessible to engineers, with an architecture designed for industrial execution. FROG targets one open model spanning prototypes, embedded systems, instrumentation and heterogeneous computing.

An open architecture, from source to execution.
FROG’s intermediate representation, FIR, connects source to explicit execution contracts. It provides a foundation for runtime, compiler and hardware families without redefining the language for each integration.
FROG builds on Graiphic’s expertise in instrumentation, LabVIEW architecture and industrial AI. Our SOTA GO and GO HW work took the innovation center deeper, into the foundations of a new language.
Instrumentation and automation
Express acquisition, control and equipment interactions through visible data dependencies.
Embedded and heterogeneous computing
Prepare architectures for execution constraints through modular hardware and software bridges.
Software designed with AI
Generate, review, validate and evolve programs while retaining structured, traceable artifacts.
Results you can inspect
Public foundations. Inspectable evidence.
A complete example
Example 05 combines a user interface, state, a bounded loop, FIR, a backend contract and native LLVM proof artifacts.
Active development: the specification is at 0.1-draft. The public reference covers bounded examples; Graiphic continues runtime generalization and Studio development. View project status ↗
The first FROG IDE
Graiphic Studio.
Developed by Graiphic, the first FROG IDE brings Front Panel, Block Diagram and Source together. Design interfaces visually, compose graphs and inspect source in the new language.
