Unlock the Know-How of Your Organisation
Augmented Business captures frontline insights through short, empathetic AI check-ins, structures them into a temporal knowledge graph powered by GreyCat v7, and makes them instantly usable via semantic search (RAG) and real-time, explainable reports. Every component runs 100% on-premise with zero data leakage and GDPR compliance built into the architecture from day one.
Your teams already hold the solutions to recurring problems, proven best practices, and critical operational knowledge. The challenge isn't creating new information—it's surfacing, structuring, and activating what you already know. Traditional knowledge management systems fail because they demand extra work, create information silos, and can't keep pace with your organisation's evolving reality.
Frictionless Timesheets
AI pre-fills entries automatically from daily check-ins, eliminating manual data entry and reducing administrative burden by up to 85%.
Eliminate Rework
Reuse proven solutions discovered anywhere in the company, reducing wasted effort on problems already solved by 60%.
Faster Resolution
Automatic expert matchmaking connects people facing similar problems, accelerating issue resolution by 70%.
Knowledge Continuity
Preserve critical expertise despite employee absences, turnover, or retirement through systematic capture and structured storage.
Fact-Based Leadership
Live dashboards with weak-signal detection and predictive alerts give you visibility into operational reality as it unfolds.
Built for Decision-Makers Across Your Organisation
Augmented Business serves the entire leadership chain, from board-level strategy to operational execution. Every stakeholder gains targeted visibility and actionable intelligence aligned to their specific needs and responsibilities.
Executives & Boards
Consolidated visibility across operations, better-informed trade-offs, and proactive risk anticipation. Move from quarterly retrospectives to continuous intelligence.
Line Managers
Live progress tracking with earlier obstacle detection and removal. Stop managing by exception; start leading with foresight and data-driven interventions.
Operations & Projects
Access a living library of best practices that drives higher speed, improved quality, and consistent execution across distributed teams and complex initiatives.
IT & Engineering
Accelerated troubleshooting through instant access to previous solutions, faster onboarding with contextual knowledge transfer, and measurably lower mean time to resolution (MTTR) on recurring incidents.
HR & Wellbeing
Measured engagement levels with sentiment analysis, early identification of burnout risks or team friction, and data-driven interventions that address issues before they escalate.
How It Works: Three Steps to Collective Intelligence
Augmented Business transforms everyday conversations into structured, searchable, and actionable knowledge through a carefully designed three-stage process. Each stage is optimised for minimal friction, maximum value, and complete sovereignty over your data.
1
AI Check-Ins (Daily or Weekly, 10–15 Minutes)
Delivered seamlessly in Microsoft Teams, Slack, or via a secure phone bot. The assistant adapts its tone and vocabulary to each team's context and preferred language, making participation natural rather than burdensome.
  • What did you do? Projects, time allocation, and completed activities
  • What challenges did you face? Blockers, dependencies, incidents, and obstacles
  • What solutions did you find? Tips, approaches, workarounds, and best practices
2
Intelligent Indexing with GreyCat v7
Responses are instantly transformed into a temporal knowledge graph enriched with semantic metadata—themes, projects, teams, relationships, and recurrences. Everything is stored locally on your infrastructure with complete sovereignty.
The temporal dimension preserves context: you can see how knowledge evolved, when solutions were discovered, and which approaches were tried and abandoned. This living history prevents repeated mistakes and accelerates learning.
3
Activating Collective Intelligence (RAG + Local LLM)
  • Natural-language search: Your internal, permission-aware assistant answers questions with context and precision
  • Citations & provenance: Every answer displays sources, timestamps, and knowledge owners for complete transparency
  • Automated reports: Progress summaries, risk alerts, and evidence-based recommendations generated continuously
  • Peer matchmaking: "One of your colleague solved this three months ago—book a 11:15 slot?" Connect expertise with need automatically
The Everyday Experience: Respectful, Efficient, and Effective
A Respectful Ritual That Fits Your Day
Augmented Business respects your time. Check-ins take 10–15 minutes, never more. The AI assistant remembers previous conversations, proposes intelligent completions, and reformulates responses to eliminate duplicate input. There's no administrative overhead, no separate system to log into, and no disruption to existing workflows.
Participation feels natural because it's embedded in the tools your teams already use daily—Teams, Slack, Outlook, or a simple phone call. The assistant adapts to individual working styles, language preferences, and communication patterns, making knowledge capture feel like a helpful conversation rather than corporate bureaucracy.
No Duplicate Input
The AI reformulates, proposes completions, and remembers context across conversations. Say it once; the system handles the rest.
Visible Outcomes
Faster answers to questions, organic peer-to-peer help, and stronger habits of continuous improvement emerge naturally from consistent participation.
Adaptive Intelligence
The system learns your team's language, recognises recurring themes, and surfaces insights automatically—no configuration or training required.
Key Capabilities: Enterprise-Grade Intelligence Infrastructure
Augmented Business delivers a comprehensive platform for capturing, governing, and activating organisational knowledge. Every capability is designed for enterprise security, seamless integration, and measurable business impact.
Integrated AI Assistant
Works natively inside Teams, Slack, Outlook, SharePoint, and phone channels. No new tool to learn, no workflow disruption—your teams continue working exactly as they do today whilst gaining intelligent support.
Knowledge Governance & Trust
  • Verification workflow: Designate knowledge owners, define review cycles, and track status (Verified / Needs Review / Draft)
  • Citations & traceability: Every insight displays its source, creation date, and validation history
  • Access-aware answers: Respects existing access control lists; users see only what they're authorised to view
Dynamic Reports & Alerts
Real-time dashboards track progress, identify bottlenecks, and highlight wins. Proactive alerts flag recurring risks and deviations before they become critical. Explainable recommendations tie directly to evidence in your knowledge graph.
Expert Matching and Peer Intelligence
Connect the Right People at the Right Time
Augmented Business automatically identifies relevant peers based on problem-solution similarity, domain expertise, and current availability. When someone faces a challenge, the system surfaces colleagues who've solved similar issues—complete with context about their approach and outcomes.
The expert finder respects privacy through an anonymous ask option for sensitive questions, and it auto-proposes meeting slots in Outlook or Teams with a context summary so both parties arrive prepared. This transforms informal knowledge sharing from serendipitous to systematic without adding bureaucracy.
Problem Detected
Employee encounters an obstacle or unfamiliar challenge during daily work.
Intelligent Matching
System identifies colleagues with relevant experience and proven solutions.
Automatic Connection
Proposes meeting time with context summary; both parties arrive prepared.
Knowledge Transfer
Solution shared, relationship formed, organisational capability strengthened.
Timesheets, Planning & Ecosystem Integration
Eliminate Administrative Burden Whilst Strengthening Integration
Augmented Business transforms time tracking from a dreaded monthly chore into an automatic byproduct of daily work. The system pre-fills timesheets by project, activity, and duration based on check-in conversations, then routes them through your existing approval workflows. Native exports support common timesheet systems, whilst the Bring-Your-Own Connector SDK enables integration with any legacy platform—custom connections are quoted based on complexity.
Auto-Pre-Filled Timesheets
Project, activity, and time data extracted automatically from daily check-ins. Employees review and approve rather than creating from scratch.
Native Exports & Approvals
Common timesheet systems supported out of the box with standard approval workflows and audit trails maintained.
Bring-Your-Own Connector SDK
Implement timesheets in your current system—any legacy platform is eligible via add-on API. Custom connection quoted by complexity.

Multilingual Voice & Translation: Truly Sovereign Communication
On-Premise Machine Translation & Speech Recognition
Augmented Business supports multilingual teams without compromising data sovereignty. Our on-premise MT/ASR (machine translation and automatic speech recognition) runs entirely on your infrastructure, enabling phone-bot check-ins in multiple languages with zero external API calls or cloud dependencies.
Each team can configure its preferred language and domain-specific glossary, ensuring technical terminology, product names, and industry jargon are translated accurately. This capability is particularly critical for organisations operating across European markets or those with distributed, multilingual workforces.
Speech-to-Text
Local ASR converts voice check-ins to text without external services.
Zero Cloud Calls
All translation happens on-premise; no data leaves your perimeter.
Custom Glossaries
Per-team terminology ensures accuracy for technical and domain-specific language.
Sovereignty, Security & Compliance: Trust Built Into Every Layer
Augmented Business is architected from the ground up for organisations with stringent security, privacy, and regulatory requirements. We don't offer sovereignty as an optional add-on—it's the foundation of our platform. Every component runs on your infrastructure, under your control, with cryptographic guarantees and comprehensive audit trails.
On-Premise by Default
All models, data, and processing run inside your perimeter. No external API calls, no cloud dependencies, no data exfiltration risk. You maintain complete sovereignty over your intellectual property and operational intelligence.
Customer-Managed Encryption
Customer-managed keys via HSM or KMS, field-level encryption for sensitive data, and zero-retention LLM mode ensure prompts and outputs aren't persisted beyond your policy. You control the keys; we never have access to plaintext.
Automated Redaction
Redaction pipelines automatically remove personally identifiable information (PII) and secrets before knowledge is shared across teams. Configurable policies ensure compliance with your data classification standards.
GDPR by Design
Purpose limitation, data minimisation, access rights, and erasure capabilities built into the architecture. Subject access requests and right-to-be-forgotten workflows supported natively.
EU AI Act Readiness
Risk management framework, human oversight mechanisms, comprehensive auditability, and technical documentation aligned with EU AI Act requirements for high-risk AI systems.
Security Audit Available
Full security audit documentation available on request, including penetration testing results, threat model, and security architecture review.
Built in Europe. Powered by GreyCat v7 (real-time temporal-graph engine) and a local high-performance LLM. Designed for organisations that refuse to compromise on data sovereignty, security, or compliance.
