Beacon AI is a drafting assistant. PCQI review required before regulatory use. Details

Grounded, not guessing

Every answer shows its work.

Most chatbots hand you a confident paragraph and no way to check it. Beacon AI cites the requirement behind every answer, and it is built to be reviewed by the credentialed person who signs off on your program.

Cited to real sources

Answers point to FDA, USDA, Codex, and SQF. Citations refer to public regulations as of the date shown, so you can open the source and check it yourself.

Built for review

Beacon AI is a drafting assistant, not regulatory advice. Every output is written so a PCQI or SQF Practitioner can verify and sign it before regulatory use.

Knows your facility on Pro

Create a free account and Beacon remembers nothing about your site. Go Pro and it saves your facility profile and tracks a cited gap analysis on the plans you upload.

One ladder

FAQ

Questions about Ask Beacon.

What it is, where the answers come from, and how far to trust them.

Beacon AI is grounded in public food-safety sources (FDA, USDA, Codex, and SQF) and cites the requirement behind each answer. Citations refer to public regulations as of the date shown, so open the original source before you rely on it.

No. Beacon AI is a drafting assistant, not regulatory advice. Every answer needs review and signature by a PCQI, SQF Practitioner, or equivalent credentialed reviewer before regulatory use. Treat it as a fast first draft, not the final word.

A general chatbot answers from memory and rarely shows a source.

Sign up and it can remember your facility; on the full Beacon platform it reads and acts on your live QMS records.

A free account raises your monthly question count. Ask Beacon Pro ($49/month) saves a profile of your facility that Beacon remembers, lets you upload a HACCP plan for a cited gap analysis it tracks over time, and uses a stronger model on complex questions.

Beacon AI is a drafting assistant. It is not regulatory advice. It is not a substitute for HACCP plan validation, CCP determination, hazard analysis, or any other regulatory decision that requires a credentialed individual. Every output requires review and signature by a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI), SQF Practitioner, or equivalent credentialed reviewer before regulatory use. Citations refer to public regulations as of the date displayed; consult original sources before relying on them. Use of Beacon AI does not transfer liability for the underlying regulatory decision to SystemPath, Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google.
