Essential AI

A cost-effective solution to move your business forward, accurately.

AI That Works for You

KOL8 is the AI tool assisting your people across multiple operations. KOL8 is able to integrate with the tools you already use enhancing operations, improving workflows and adding value to the business. It securely uses your data and content with the ability to link to external content defined by you, providing relevant insights and value in an efficient way.

Helping Every Team Do More

Working with teams from HR, operations, regulation, compliance and finance, KOL8 returns requested intelligence to staff through conversation, within a walled garden.

Save Time, Stay Secure

It works as a time saving co-pilot helping eliminate mistakes, finding and summarising essential information from within your own secure environment. KOL8 nodes can be used at all levels of the organisation, with individual teams having their own node for data segregation purposes or managed centrally across multiple functions.

Steps to setting up your KOL8 copilot

KOL8 works across multiple domains – a few examples are given below but in every case, the process of implementation is similar:

Identify

Identify and categorize sources of relevant information for a given domain - these may include unstructured data such as Microsoft documents, PDFs and other sources.

Interface

Interface to each of these sources of data, upload and index it. Your original data remains untouched and secure.
Link to existing workflows such as identity checking into the process if required.

Secure

Tag each piece of the uploaded data with appropriate security groups and other useful information. This ensures that the information is only relayed back to people having the correct security level. Once tagged, encode each piece into a format that describes the important facets and characteristics of the data and store it in a way that the LLM can easily use it. Your data always remains offline and completely under your control.

Where it works

Regulation

KOL8 can greatly assist financial regulation professionals by enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and risk management through uploading relevant regulatory materials across multiple jurisdictions.

Regulation Assistance

Kol8 acts as an assistant in the regulatory and compliance space, navigating complex documentation and rules providing guidance so professionals can make informed decisions and be freed up to focus on more strategic initiatives. Additionally, KOL8 can help identify potential risks, improve regulatory compliance, and support the development of innovative financial products.

Human Resources

As an essential business unit in any large organisation, KOL8 works as an agent for the team, simplifying workflow and finding all information needs and summarising best practice to any situation from documents on Guidance, Policy and News

Within a secure environment, KOL8 can integrate with legacy systems to ensure cost and time savings for financial teams.

Fund Management data

KOL8 can combine structured and unstructured global fund data sources from fact sheets or data feeds so that any finance professional is able to generate meaningful insights required to be competitive. This data could be from internal or external sources allowing fund competitor and broader market analysis.

Company Analysis
