Using advanced language models and structured data, Convai supports better internal decision-making and more effective corporate reporting.

Today, businesses are expected to report not only on their financial results, but also on their social, environmental, and strategic performance. However, many organisations---especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and charities---struggle with fragmented data, time-consuming manual processes, and a lack of accessible tools.

Convai addresses this challenge by helping users:

* Generate first-draft commentary on performance across key areas
* Explore financial and non-financial data using natural language questions
* Create standardised reports for leadership teams and stakeholders
* Benchmark performance and narratives against peers

By saving time and improving clarity, Convai helps organisations focus on what matters most: understanding their impact and making better decisions.

This project will deliver a working prototype of the platform over six months. It is being developed in partnership with the **Institute for Creativity and AI at City St Georges, University of London**, ensuring the technology is safe, inclusive, and aligned with best practices in responsible AI.

Convai supports a more transparent and accountable business environment by making high-quality reporting accessible to more organisations, not just the largest or best-resourced. It reflects a growing need for tools that combine advanced AI with real-world usability and social impact and aims to leverage the UK's recognised position as a world leader in professional services.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
