SymAI AskEnterprise search and assistant
Generative AI answers backed by your data.
SymAI Ask™ searches your enterprise knowledge and answers with deep context from your supply chain and operations. Choose from frontier and open-weight models, tune how it reasons and verify every source behind every answer.

- Searching the ERP for open POs
- Reading supplier emails
- Checking contract terms
Three inbound POs put the Q4 build at risk.
•PO-7713 (Supplier B) is confirmed at only 60% of the order quantity.1
•PO-8120 is held at the port pending customs documents.2
•PO-8201 ships late because of a carrier capacity change.3
How it works
Built for how operations teams actually ask.
Five controls that turn a generic chatbot into an assistant you can rely on for your operations.
01Reasoning control
You decide how hard it thinks.
In General mode, set the output to Brief for a quick summary, Standard for everyday work or Deep Research for a full synthesis. Thinking is a separate setting: choose Low, Medium or High to set how much reasoning effort goes into the answer.
- Brief, Standard and Deep Research outputs
- Low, Medium and High thinking
02Open intelligence
Every leading model, with no lock-in.
One assistant, many models. Use frontier models alongside widely adopted open-weight ones, grouped into Fast, Balanced and Advanced bands, and switch as the work demands. SymRouter™ can pick the model for you, task by task.
- Frontier and open-weight models
- Fast, Balanced and Advanced bands
03Context library
Control exactly what it knows.
General mode answers broad questions from the web. Deep Context answers from your enterprise data: choose the connectors and the context engine it draws on, with knowledge organised by organisation, team, project or personal scope in SymContext™.
- General or Deep Context mode
- The connectors and context engine you choose
04Full transparency
See how every answer was made.
Every answer shows the model that produced it, the time taken, the tokens used and the cost. Open the sources drawer to inspect the exact documents and web pages behind it.
- Model, latency, tokens and cost on every answer
- A sources drawer with every citation
05Artifacts
Keep every file it creates, ready to reuse.
Every table, report, exported chat and generated file is kept in your artifacts manager, ready to download, share or pick up where you left off.
- Every output tracked automatically
- Download, share or continue at any time
