Capabilities

An expert at your side.
For every mandate.

Designed around the daily work of auditors, fiduciaries and tax specialists — tuned for Swiss law and practice, not a general-purpose chatbot.

  • Swiss law, regularly updated

    Code of Obligations, VAT, direct federal tax, withholding tax, the tax acts of all 26 cantons and the ESTV circulars — in the version in force today, cited to the article.

  • Financial statements, checked by code

    Every total recalculated, balance sheet and income statement tied, notes cross-referenced, the prior-year column compared — by our engine, not by guesswork. Numbered findings you resolve, an annotated PDF and a working paper.

  • The year-end file

    Per client and fiscal year: statements, trial balance, ledger, VAT returns and payroll in their place — the review and the year-end closing run from there with one click.

  • Guided checks — and your own

    Audit requirement, capital loss, going concern, VAT, dividends, payroll, year-end closing — step by step to a finished memo. Write your firm's own procedures once; everyone runs them.

  • Booking entries and payroll

    “How do I book this?” gets debit and credit in the SME chart of accounts with VAT code and tax effect. Payroll is calculated with this year's AHV, ALV, UVG and BVG figures.

  • Documents on your letterhead

    Memos, letters, checklists and tables as Word, PDF or Excel — with your logo, fonts and Word template. Any chat becomes a memo with its sources in one click.

  • Reads every file

    PDF, Word, Excel, presentations and images — from contracts to large ledgers, including calculations and charts.

  • Client folders

    One folder per client: documents, chats, remembered facts and tasks stay together — and apart from every other client.

  • Law changes, before they apply

    Amended, new and repealed articles side by side — summarised for practice, with alerts when something changes.

Knowledge

Five layers.
One answer.

Every question draws on exactly the knowledge you are entitled to — nothing more, nothing from anyone else.

  1. 01Reference librarySwiss federal law in force — OR, MWSTG, DBG, StHG, VStG and more — the tax acts of all 26 cantons and the ESTV circulars, updated regularly.
  2. 02Firm knowledgeYour methodology, manuals and templates — shared across your firm.
  3. 03Client foldersEach client's documents, used only in that client's chats.
  4. 04My documentsPersonal material only you can see, available in every chat.
  5. 05Chat filesAttached to one conversation and deleted with it — unless you keep them in your knowledge.

Security

Your data
stays yours.

Built for confidential professional work.

Strict separation
Every firm is strictly separated from every other — checked on every request.
Not for training
We don't train AI models with your data, and we don't enable its use for training the AI models we use.
What the AI receives
The information a request needs — your question, the relevant context and the files you attach.
You're in control
Decide how long chats are kept, and delete chats, documents or the whole workspace yourself at any time.
Hosted in Switzerland
The application, your documents and your chats are stored on infrastructure in Switzerland. AI processing runs in Switzerland with Cogniten Private; with Cogniten Cloud it runs at an external AI provider that may process outside Switzerland — under contract, not for training.
