# AI Systems by Industry | Finance, Manufacturing & More

**Financial services** An AI chief of staff for a family office: seven agents, a twelve-step document-intelligence pipeline across the document types in scope, and a temporal knowledge graph where every extracted value carries its source quote.


## In short

**Financial services** An AI chief of staff for a family office: seven agents, a twelve-step document-intelligence pipeline across the document types in scope, and a temporal knowledge graph where every extracted value carries its source quote.

**Manufacturing and automotive** A delivered, reviewed engagement bringing generative AI and optimization work inside an automotive-parts manufacturer's Dynamics 365 Supply Chain environment.

**Distribution and ERP** For a parts manufacturer: a C-level decision assistant that answers a plain-English question from the ERP, internal documents, sales-channel data and scanned documents at once, in the chat tool the executives already used.

**Legal** Paralegent AI, our own product: 23 agents reviewing a contract against the firm's own playbook, inside Word, in 5 to 10 minutes.

**Marketplace and e-commerce** A monitoring platform re-architected onto a distributed cloud: around 2,000 users across 16 marketplaces, 3,000 checks every two minutes, with a 97% database-load reduction from caching.

**Education** A writing co-pilot embedded in the learning platform a K-12 education company already ships, grounded in their own curriculum, with a judge scoring every lesson before it reaches a classroom.

**Automotive SaaS** Senior architecture across three interconnected platforms — auction, appraisal and dealer websites — on a shared multi-tenant core, with API governance and technical leadership.

**Recruiting and HR** VectorHire, our own product: resume, professional-network, code-host and live voice-interview agents screening candidates in parallel.

**The systems we have to reach** An ERP in distribution, a historian and MES on a plant floor, a core banking platform in finance, a document system in legal. The integration surface is the part that decides whether a project is six weeks or six months.

**The vocabulary the model has to get right** A distributor's customer says 'those valves'; a plant says BPFO and Hotelling T-squared; a bank says pacs.008. Retrieval that does not speak the sector's own words returns plausible answers to the wrong question.

**The posture the reviewer will demand** Regulated sectors decide the topology before the model: where inference runs, what leaves the network, what the audit log has to prove. That conversation happens first, or it happens at the end and kills the project.

**Which industries has Cognilium actually delivered in?** Financial services, manufacturing and automotive, distribution and ERP, legal, marketplace and e-commerce, education, automotive SaaS, and recruiting and HR. Each of those has a system actually delivered behind it, and several are our own products — which is why we can show you the inside of them. We also publish a marketing and advertising page: that one is capability rather than delivered record, and it says so.

**My industry is not on your list. Does that rule us out?** No, and it is a fair question to ask directly. The mechanisms transfer: retrieval over your own documents, agents that use your tools, document intelligence with evidence, pipelines that survive real load. What does not transfer for free is the vocabulary and the integration surface, so a first project in a new sector is scoped with that in mind rather than priced as though we already knew it.

**How do you handle sector-specific compliance?** By deciding topology before models. Where inference runs, what leaves your network, which credentials are scoped where, and what the audit log has to be able to prove — all agreed with the people who own your security review before anything is built. Our architectures are aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI-DSS practices; we do not hold, and do not claim, formal certification in any of them.

**Do you integrate with the systems we already run?** That is usually the majority of the work. We read from ERPs, MES and historians, core banking platforms, document management systems, applicant tracking systems and CRMs — and we are deliberate about what we write back. On the plant floor we never write to the PLC; beside an ERP we write only what we created.

**How long does an industry-specific build take?** The typical time to a first working system is about three weeks, and we say up front when something will not work. Beyond that we quote against your actual integration surface rather than a blanket estimate, because the difference between reading a documented API and reading a historian nobody has audited is months, not days.

**How is your data secured across sectors?** Least-privilege access, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based controls and audit logging on every request, with deployment inside your own cloud account where the sector requires it. Where a regulated environment needs it, the whole model lifecycle runs inside your network with no public egress.

The models are the same everywhere. What changes is the systems we have to reach, the words the retrieval has to know, and what your reviewer will insist on before anything ships.

Cognilium AI is an AI company, and below is where its systems have actually been built — named honestly, and separated from what we can build but have not yet delivered.

verticals with a delivered system behind them

with a full engineering page of their own

client names published — we describe the work, not the client

A row of front doors, each a different colour


## Eight verticals, one delivered system behind each

No logo wall and no invented practices. Role and vertical descriptors only — we describe what we built and what it does, never whose it is. Several of these are our own products, which is why we can open them up rather than describe them.


## Three things, and none of them is the model

“Do you know my industry?” is really three questions. These are the three, and they are what a first call should be about.


## Three sectors written for the engineer

Named protocols, named standards, named integration points. Two of these carry delivered work behind them; the third is capability, and is labelled that way on its own page.

**Financial services** Sub-15ms fraud inference targets, reason codes on every automated credit decision, AML entity resolution, and topologies that pass a model-risk review.

**Manufacturing** OPC-UA and Sparkplug B pipelines, ISA-95 modelling, golden-batch deviation under GAMP 5, and inference that never writes to the PLC.

**Marketing** Bayesian marketing-mix modelling calibrated by geo-lift, server-side conversion APIs, and clean-room identity that is consent-aware at the router. Capability, not yet a delivered engagement — the page says so.

Asked before the first project, answered honestly

The useful first call is about your systems, not our slides: what the data lives in, who has to approve the topology, and which workflow is costing the most. We will tell you plainly if your sector is one where we would be learning on your budget.
