Inside Ask CI Assistant
Run it on-box
Ask CI can search and retrieve entirely on your own hardware — no external AI calls and no per-query cost — so even the questions your team asks never leave your network. On our own testing, on-box retrieval matched a leading cloud model.
Sharp, relevant answers
PrismCI blends meaning-based and keyword search, then re-ranks the results, so an answer pulls the passage that actually matters — not just a fuzzy match.
Every answer is cited
Each response links back to the documents, pages, or interviews it came from. Trust, not vibes.
Or bring a cloud model, fully governed
Prefer a frontier model for the written answer? Use OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter with oversight on by default — PII redaction, per-feature budgets, a kill switch, and a full audit before anything leaves.
Multi-turn threads
Follow up, refine, and branch — the assistant keeps context across the conversation.
Grounded in your data
Answers come only from your knowledge base and monitored sources, so they reflect your business, not the open web.
How the AI carries the load
Ask CI is where PrismCI's AI meets the rep or analyst in the moment they need an answer.
Retrieves
Finds the most relevant passages across uploads, pages, calls, and win-loss — on your own hardware, if you choose.
Synthesizes
Writes a direct answer with talk tracks, landmines, and pricing where relevant.
Cites
Attaches the sources so anyone can verify — and drill deeper.
why it's different
Crayon and Klue run assistants on an undisclosed cloud model, with no cost visibility and no control over what the AI sees. Ask CI can run its search and retrieval entirely on your own hardware — nothing leaves your network — and when you do choose a cloud model, you pick it, govern it, and see what every query costs.

Intelligence Feed
Page changes, news, pricing, social, jobs, reviews, filings, and buyer intent — all in a single relevance-ranked stream, de-noised so the moves that matter rise to the top. And instead of waiting for you to check it, the feed pushes intel where it needs to go.

learn more →Competitive Graph
Your competitors, their moves, and the deals in play — laid out as an interactive graph you can actually read. Follow the line from a competitor to what they just did, zoom from the whole market to a single account, and spot the pattern before it costs you a deal.
