AI knowledge assistant

LOKI. Your company’s knowledge answers. And gets to work.

LOKI searches your documents, emails, meeting minutes and databases in natural language. It answers with sources and delivers finished work: Word, PowerPoint and charts come straight out of the chat. Fully local by default.

What did we promise customer Meier in the 2021 warranty case?

LOKI

In the warranty case, customer Meier was promised a goodwill replacement for up to 24 months after delivery, in writing on 14 March 2021 by sales [1]. The contract addendum from April 2021 confirms the arrangement and extends it to spare parts [2]. The ERP history documents a 2022 replacement already handled under this rule [3].

What maintenance intervals apply to the press in hall 2?

LOKI

The press in hall 2 has a six-month maintenance interval per manufacturer spec, section 4.2 [1]. The last service was on 8 April, carried out by Renk, no findings [2]. The next date is therefore due in October; the maintenance plan already has it scheduled [2].

Summarize yesterday's project meeting for me.

LOKI

The meeting produced three decisions: the Q3 budget was approved with 40,000 euros for plant maintenance [1]. The delivery date for project North moves to week 38 because supplier parts arrive later [1]. And the pilot start with plant 2 is confirmed. Kickoff in two weeks, owned by Ms Berg [2].

On the right Regulation (EU) 2016/631 on the grid connection of generators, opened at Table 2 on page 14 with the cited passage highlighted.
Every statement carries its evidence. Clicking a number opens the source document at exactly that spot, verifiable, not just claimed.
The film

LOKI in 31 seconds.

The Promise

Runs entirely on your premises. Period.

LOKI is installed in your infrastructure, on specialized hardware that comes included. It processes all data exclusively on your servers. On request without any internet connection: from the language model to text recognition, everything is on board. And LOKI shows these three commitments to every user right in the app:

The included LOKI server

Confidential by design.

LOKI runs on your own premises. What you enter here never leaves the building and is not used for training.

Knows your organization.

LOKI searches every connected document, email and record. You only ever see what you have access to.

Every answer with a source.

Just click the source number to see the passage in the original. That way you can verify key statements in seconds.

The LOKI start screen in light mode: below the input field the three commitments Confidential by design, Knows your organization and Every answer with a source, on the left the chats from manufacturing

Voice input is transcribed locally, too. Your voice never leaves the server.

Cited Answers

Every answer with evidence.

Trust is good. Sources are better.

LOKI cites every statement with numbered source references. One click opens the original document on the right page and highlights the exact passage the answer came from. Not roughly. Down to the paragraph.

Structure-aware document analysis makes that possible. It remembers page and position for every finding.

Document Understanding

Understands your documents. All of them.

PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, emails with attachments, images, audio, video: LOKI reads more than 35 file formats. It unlocks scans with text recognition, reads tables as tables and transcribes meeting recordings automatically. All locally.

Reads the fine print.

Layout analysis and OCR unlock scans and complex PDFs, including table recognition.

Listens.

Audio and video files are transcribed on the server and become searchable.

Understands images.

Charts, screenshots, and photos are described by a vision model and added to the knowledge.

Dashboard “Upload document”: the Manufacturing access group is selected, the file list holds three regulations on cooling lubricants, noise at work and work equipment

New files land in the index automatically: via upload, via drag and drop, through watched server folders, or straight from SharePoint. Paste a folder link into the dashboard and LOKI indexes the files and keeps them current via incremental sync. Files stay in SharePoint; chat citations link straight back to them. And if you search for an article number or batch verbatim, you will find it: LOKI masters exact search alongside semantic search.

For the live meeting there is SAGA, the AI minute-taker: it takes the minutes, captures decisions with one click and drafts the record, on the same local technology. Put the approved minutes where LOKI reads, and LOKI finds them like any other document. More about SAGA

The knowledge graph takes shape: knowledge gathers, structures itself, and connects
Knowledge gathers. Your documents become points of knowledge.
Structure emerges. Related things find their communities.
Everything connects. Relations turn points into a graph.

The knowledge graph. The memory behind every answer.

LOKI understands what belongs together. And it finds answers that live in no single file.

The Agent

LOKI acts.

LOKI plans, picks tools and combines intermediate results. Every step is shown openly. For sensitive actions, it asks you first.

Data becomes charts. All by itself.

LOKI writes and runs Python in a sealed-off sandbox without internet access. Charts appear right in the chat, automatically in your brand design, full-size on click.

Ask your database. Literally.

Connect business databases directly to LOKI. A question in everyday language becomes a SQL query: transparently visible, with syntax highlighting, against your real data.

From question to finished file.

LOKI does not just answer. It delivers. Word documents and PowerPoint presentations are created right from the chat and are ready for download immediately.

Ask first. Act second.

Every tool call is visible in the chat, with status, inputs, and result. And before LOKI does anything sensitive, it asks for your explicit approval.

Model Freedom

Any model. Your rules.

Out of the box, LOKI works with a large open-weights language model on the included GPU hardware. No API keys, no cloud. If you want more, you enable additional providers via the dashboard: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, Cohere, Groq, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Local by default.

The included model runs on your hardware. If a cloud provider goes down, it steps in automatically.

Honest about cloud.

If a chat uses an external model, everyone involved sees a clear warning banner. Per conversation, impossible to miss.

Keys kept safe.

API keys are stored encrypted and never shown in plain text.

The check that runs before that has a name: HEIMDALL, the firewall for AI, is built into LOKI and can also be booked on its own. It replaces sensitive details with placeholders before a request leaves the building, and translates the answer back locally. More about HEIMDALL

Governance

Control you can see.

LOKI controls who may see what. And what leaves the building at all. It works with roles and groups, knowledge bases as permission boundaries, and HEIMDALL, the built-in firewall for AI that checks every request to an external model before it leaves the company.

Permissions down to the index.

Access boundaries do not stop at the interface. They reach all the way down into the vector database. What someone must not see is never even found. SharePoint access rights are carried over to the indexed documents during sync.

What leaves is checked.

Before data goes to an external model (and, once web search ships, to that as well), HEIMDALL checks it for names (NER) and configurable patterns (regex): order and part numbers, machine IDs, amounts. You decide right in the chat: send protected, handle locally, or cancel. Or a policy replaces automatically, and every call lands in the audit log.

Sign-in as usual.

Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on, multi-tenant capable, configured at runtime in the dashboard. New users are created automatically and assigned to the right group; manually managed groups stay untouched.

Scenes from everyday work

What your team does with it from day one.

Six scenes from a day at work with LOKI. Illustrative. But this is what everyday work with LOKI feels like.

DAY 14 · NEW EMPLOYEE

Why did we switch the housing supplier in 2019?

LOKI

The switch came after repeated delivery delays: three times over four weeks within two quarters [1]. The decision was made in the March 2019 purchasing round; the criteria are in the minutes. Price explicitly was not the reason [2]. The new framework contract has been running since July 2019 [1].

MONDAY · SALES MEETING

Show me revenue by region for last quarter, as a chart.

LOKI

Here is the bar chart from the live database [1]: region South leads with a 38 percent share, West gains the most versus last quarter, North stays flat. Notable: almost all of West's growth comes from two new customers. You can inspect the SQL query behind it [2].

THURSDAY, 14:30 · AUDIT

How did the approval process for batch 88-C run in 2022? The auditor is sitting next to me.

LOKI

The approval process for batch 88-C ran in three steps: QA check on 10 May with dimensional protocol [1], special approval by production management via email on 11 May [2], final acceptance per the acceptance report on 12 May [3]. All three passages are highlighted in the PDFs. You can show them to the auditor directly.

LEGACY CONTRACT · SCANNED 2015

What notice period is in the scanned maintenance contract?

LOKI

The notice period is six months to year-end, set out in section 12 on page 9 of the scanned contract [1]. Important: without notice, the contract auto-renews for another twelve months, same paragraph [1]. The 2015 scan is OCR-indexed and the passage is highlighted in the document.

WEEKLY MEETING · RECORDING

What did we decide about the Q3 budget on Tuesday?

LOKI

Two decisions on the Q3 budget: plant maintenance is approved with 40,000 euros, justified by the press downtime risk [1]. The trade fair moves to Q4 instead [1]. The discussion starts at minute 22 of the recording; the transcript is linked and the decisions are also in the minutes [2].

Turn the project report into a PowerPoint for management, five slides.

LOKI

Done. Five slides in your corporate layout: project status with traffic light, the two open risks with countermeasures, budget, timeline, and next steps [1]. The numbers come from Monday's report [1], the layout from your template [2]. Ready for download.

Platform

IGNAITE is the platform.

LOKI for your knowledge. MINERVA for your machines. HEIMDALL for the safe path to the cloud. SAGA for your meetings. Each product runs on its own, can be started individually and extended with the others at any time. Together they become your company’s memory: LOKI, MINERVA and HEIMDALL share one machine, one login, one role model, one audit log and one works agreement. Every application inherits what is already in place. SAGA brings LOKI’s technology into the meeting room.

In LOKI, cloud models always pass through HEIMDALL. With MINERVA you grow onto the shop floor, with SAGA into the meeting room.

Operations & Tech

One stack. One command.

LOKI ships as a complete container stack on specialized hardware: reverse proxy with TLS, API, background workers, vector database, interfaces, and the code sandbox, wired up and ready. Plus an offline mode for environments without any internet: all model weights come preinstalled.

Air-gap ready.

In offline mode, not a single external download takes place. Everything is on board.

Sandbox with a one-way street.

Code executed by the agent runs in a container without network access, without write permissions, with hard resource limits. Reachable only through a one-way proxy.

Measurable.

Traceability for every request, every tool, every indexing run. With bundled monitoring on request.

No internet? No problem.

Platform character

LOKI is end product and platform at the same time. If you start with the end product, you can add your own skills later. If you start with custom development, you have full technical depth from day one.

You start with knowledge queries. And grow into complete processes.

Compliance

What data protection and audit will ask.

GDPR without third-country transfer, a processing agreement only for remote maintenance, ISO 27001 as a declared goal, prepared for the EU AI Act, access rights that reach down into the vector index. We have written down how that comes about technically.
