Why we're building ProSyft

Why we're building ProSyft

Financial institutions have been told for years that AI adoption requires a trade-off. Send your data outside, or build everything yourself. Accept hallucinated outputs, or spend years wiring up something enterprise-grade. We started ProSyft because none of that is true anymore.

Our Mission

Co-Analyst is a risk automation platform that runs entirely inside a client's own environment. No data leaves. Every output is traceable to the source it came from. Workflows run autonomously rather than waiting for an analyst to prompt them.

We built it this way because the bottleneck in regulated finance is not analysis capacity, it is analyst time.

Deployed inside your environment.

No data leaves your infrastructure
Every output traceable to source
Workflows run without analyst prompting

AI should give people sovereignty over their data, not extract it. Regulated institutions deserve infrastructure they control, not software that depends on someone else's cloud.

How we operate

Four principles we build by

01

Customer first, competitor second.

Every product decision starts with what a risk team, compliance officer, or COO actually needs in production. Features that demo well but fail in deployment are worse than useless.

02

Speed, with sovereignty from day one.

Regulated clients cannot wait six months for a workflow to go live, and data sovereignty is not a feature we add later. Both are true at deployment.

03

Build for ownership.

The platform is composable. Clients extend it, customise it, and grow with it. We are not building a black box and we are not holding the keys.

04

Honest about what AI can and cannot do.

Language models, on their own, will not get regulated finance where it needs to go. Zero hallucination is an engineering commitment baked into how the system runs, not a tagline.

The window

Why now

Every month a regulated institution waits, four costs compound.

01

Client data flows through external AI vendors

02

Analyst trust erodes as hallucinations go un-caught

03

Intelligence stays disconnected from internal systems

04

New workflows stay stuck in six-month build cycles

ProSyft collapses all four at once.
