Company brain by Onteric

Make your AI an expert in your business.

Turn everything your company knows into the shared understanding your AI needs to actually work.

Abstract technical structure with open dark-green layers linked by teal circuit paths and translucent glass nodes

The company brain that continuously reads your documents, emails and data, understands what they mean and how they connect. And keeps that understanding current as your business changes. So your AI can stop guessing and start working.

What our customers say

“Onteric has made a genuine difference to how we work. What previously required significant staff time can now be completed in seconds.”

“Our advisors were spending too much time on admin and not enough talking to customers. We partnered with Onteric to fix that, freeing our advisors to focus on what drives revenue. The ROI case was clear from day one.”

95%* of agentic AI pilots fail. Onteric helps them succeed.

AI agents struggle to understand your business like your team do, so find it difficult to deliver the efficiencies and insights we are all looking for.

This is because AI can only work off what it can access and understand. But company data is often inaccessible, inconsistent or incomplete.

What's missing is what sits between your data and your AI: the shared context AI needs to understand how your business actually works. And stays constantly up to date.

Your AI wish list can make it into production.

Where would you use AI if it actually worked?

Multiple use cases; the same understanding applied.

Mortgages

Save over an hour per loan

Every document on a case read, checked and turned into income and expenditure in around 10 seconds.

Financial advice

Walk into every review prepared

New evidence reconciled against the client record, so advisers see what has changed before the review.

Conveyancing

Evidence every check

Source of wealth validated across every document in the file, with the evidence behind every check logged.

Insurance

Focus assessors on genuine exceptions

Claim evidence structured and coverage rules applied exactly.

Healthcare finance

Catch every discrepancy

Every invoice line matched to approved spend, with the exact discrepancy shown.

Finance operations

Escalate exceptions automatically

Bank and accounts payable data matched against your rules.

Manufacturing

Protect margin

Understand supply chain price changes as soon as they happen so you can adjust your pricing dynamically.

Defence

Keep policy in step with regulation

Identify how JSPs and AESPs are impacted by any change to e.g. health and safety regulations, and automatically propagate updates.

Defence

Reduce stale data risk

Ensure forward deployed assets can still access their company brain even with low bandwidth.

What a company brain is.

One complete understanding of your business, shared by every (AI) tool you use

Company brain is a layer that sits beneath the tools you already use. It reads everything your business knows, works out how it fits together, and gives your AI the context and understanding to actually deliver.

  1. It understands, not just reads

    Most AI can tell you who a contract is between and when it was signed. Company brain understands the contract: the obligations, the rules, the people and how they connect to everything else.

  2. It stays current

    When something changes, company brain updates everything that change affects, and flags discrepancies before they become problems.

  3. It shows its working

    Every answer traces back to its source, the rule applied and the decision made. An answer without proof is just a guess.

  4. It learns once

    Correct it once and it stays corrected. Imagine your team only ever making a mistake once.

Better, faster outcomes plus less compute every time you use your brain

Many AI tools start from scratch each time they are asked a question. They go back to the raw data, reread it and rebuild the picture. This uses a tonne of tokens, can take a while, and can come back with a different answer.

Built different

Onteric's company brain runs on neuro-symbolic AI, built from the ground up in-house by our PhD team. It is not simply retrofitted onto a large language model (LLM).

Unlike relying on an LLM alone, its symbolic reasoning follows explicit rules. This makes the reasoning auditable, reconstructable and consistent. Important for regulated use cases.

Neuro-symbolic AI also means Onteric's company brain can remember information, so it doesn't need to start from scratch every time a question is asked.

So what?

Your company brain builds understanding once, keeps it current and reuses it. It is designed to get smarter, work faster and use less compute as that understanding grows.

Actual speed and compute savings depend on the workflow and deployment.

Illustrative comparison. AI tools vary. Consistency assumes unchanged inputs, rules and business context.

No new interface. No new workflow. No behaviour change.

Keep your tools

Company brain works beneath the AI you already use.

Keep your workflow

Your people carry on working exactly as they do today.

Give your AI the understanding

Every tool draws on the same knowledge of your business.

Not another place your people have to go. Just AI that knows your business

Business documents, data, decisions and relationships feed company brain, which continuously builds entities, relationships, rules, obligations, decisions and context for existing AI tools.

The next evolution of AI: From co-pilot to relief pilot.

A co-pilot helps someone do their work faster. A relief pilot can take parts of the work off their plate. The difference is understanding.

Give AI the right context and it can move beyond helping someone complete a task. It can start completing the work itself.

Co-pilot

A person does the work. AI assists.

Company brain

AI understands the environment, context and rules

Relief pilot

AI can take permitted parts of the work off a person's plate.

More context can support more responsibility. People set the boundaries.

The real efficiency gains begin when AI can reliably understand the environment it's operating in—and what it needs to do.

AI needs to know what it knows—and why.

Enterprise AI needs more than plausible answers. Company brain keeps the context behind decisions inspectable and correctable.

Correctable meaning
Correct the underlying interpretation instead of fixing every downstream output by hand.
Recorded ambiguity
Keep uncertain meaning visible so it can be reviewed and adjudicated.
Human control
The business remains in control of meaning, rules, approvals and decisions.
ILLUSTRATIVE DECISION TRACE
TRIGGER
A new transaction changes the available evidence
RELEVANT ENTITIES
Contract, counterparty and payment record
APPLICABLE RULE
The contract's payment obligation
VERSION
The interpretation and rule version used
APPROVAL
Human review required for an unresolved exception
OUTCOME
The decision and its supporting context are retained
Illustrative architecture example, not a live record or an assurance of regulatory compliance.

The more your business is understood, the more valuable your AI becomes.

People repeatedly explain the same rules, find the same documents, reconcile the same information and check the same exceptions. Company brain aims to turn that repeated rediscovery into persistent infrastructure.

Reuse what is understood

When information is stable and repeated, the understanding can be reused across applications and workflows.

Focus on what changes

When something genuinely changes, update the affected context instead of reconstructing the whole business picture.

AI value increases as the business becomes more understood.

Built around correctable meaning—not just retrieval.

The technical challenge isn't simply retrieving more information.

It is maintaining a correctable, continuously updated model of what that information means to the business.

Explore the architecture
Semantic understanding
Represent what information means in its business context, rather than only storing where it can be found.
Typed entities and relationships
Identify the people, organisations, agreements and events involved, and how they relate.
Ontosemantic rules
Connect domain meaning to the explicit business rules that apply.
Entity resolution
Resolve references to the same entity across documents and structured records.
Ambiguity tracking
Record uncertain or conflicting interpretations so they can be reviewed.
Incremental propagation
When information or meaning changes, update the affected parts of the model.
Decision traces
Retain the trigger, context, applicable rules, version, approval and outcome.
Governed actions
Make context available to workflows that act within the business's rules and approvals.

Start with one workflow. Scale from there.
