The problem

Your knowledge is scattered. IKON brings it together.

Years of research, policy submissions, annual reports and briefing notes sit in shared drives, inboxes and old websites. Teams rewrite what already exists because they cannot find it. IKON makes your institutional knowledge one asset again.

How it works

From scattered files to answers you can check

Bring in your documents
Load existing archives and keep adding new work as it is produced.
Organise automatically
IKON tags every document by theme, sector, organisation, people, topic and date.
Choose your sources
Work from your internal knowledge bank only, or add public sources. Set rules that decide which sources come first.
Ask and verify
Ask a question in plain language. Every answer lists its sources, internal and external, and shows which part of the answer came from which source.
Create
Draft briefs, submissions, summaries and talking points grounded in your own material.
Control access
Decide who sees what, by team, role or document.

Know where every answer comes from

A general AI chatbot gives you an answer but not its origin. IKON cites a source for every response. Internal documents and external sources are both listed, and each part of the answer is tied to the source it came from. Your team can check a fact before it goes into a brief, a submission or a speech.

Illustrative example

What has our organisation recommended on cross-border data flows?

Your 2024 policy brief recommends a trusted-partner approach to data transfers rather than blanket localisation.^[1] Members raised compliance costs for smaller firms in the 2025 consultation.^[2] A public consultation paper sets out the regulator's current proposals.^[3]

Source control

Your sources, your rules

Internal only

IKON answers from your own knowledge bank and nothing else. Right for confidential work and for your organisation's official positions.

Internal and public

IKON adds public sources for wider context. Your rules set the priority, for example your own published positions first and public sources after.
