Intelligence

AI that respects who is asking

A secure intelligence layer over Toolbase. It works with the data the signed-in user is permitted to see, and nothing more.

The problem

General AI tools do not know your business, and should not see all of it

Pasting customer data into a public chatbot is a risk, and the answer is only as good as what you pasted. An AI that could see everything in your system would be a different risk.

How Toolbase solves it

AI inside your permission model

Toolbase AI is designed to work within tenant isolation, roles and module permissions. Requests are logged, and changes can require a person to approve them.
