Data is the backbone of every company. But with so much data coming from different sources\u2014ERP systems, document management tools, IoT devices\u2014many businesses struggle to keep up. Business intelligence systems are often used in this context. These refer to the processes and tools used to analyze business data and transform it into actionable insights. They help employees make better-informed decisions. Traditional BI tools are often expensive, complicated, and rigid, making it difficult to seamlessly connect diverse data sources.<\/p>\n
Can you really trust AI with everything?<\/strong><\/p>\n Data security is another big concern. Many AI solutions rely on the cloud, which means sensitive company information is sent to third-party providers\u2014something that\u2019s simply not an option for businesses with strict data protection requirements. On top of that, AI often lacks contextual understanding, which can lead to misleading or completely incorrect results. This is a serious risk, especially in technical industries where precision is key.<\/p>\n A smarter, safer solution<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s where Chat4BI, our research project funded by the state of Hesse, comes in. In partnership with our sister company, Innomatik AG<\/a><\/strong>, we\u2019ve developed an intelligent chatbot that understands company data and delivers answers in seconds\u2014all without handing over data to third parties. \u201cChatbot Charly\u201d (named after our company mascot) lets users ask complex questions in a simple chat format and gets back precise, context-aware responses. The best part? No cloud requirement, no hidden risks\u2014just a secure, user-friendly solution that keeps you in full control of your data. And of course, it\u2019s fully compliant with GDPR and the EU AI Act.<\/p>\n
