A vertical, agentic enterprise AI platform from Unique AG (Zurich, founded 2021), built specifically for the finance and insurance industry; it orchestrates research agents, secure RAG pipelines, and benchmarking with identity governance. It serves as a backbone for building your own agents, with collaborative chat, knowledge-base management, and custom-agent creation, plus add-ons for translation and agentic tables. It automates repetitive, time-intensive workflows in banking, asset management, and insurance (meeting preparation, parts of compliance processes, advisory and onboarding flows). Model-independent: it integrates any LLM instead of being tied to a single provider. Human-in-the-loop by design, with built-in checkpoints, review workflows, and escalation paths. Accountability remains with the institution.
