## Digital Intelligence (AI & Automation)
**Digital Intelligence** is Keystone Solutions' name for its AI & Automation practice: agentic AI, where agents act within business processes rather than chatbots that only answer, held to production standards, with a person in charge of every decision that commits the organisation.
- **Where it pays off:** finance (continuous close on Peppol data, anomaly detection, scenario forecasts, plain-language answers from the ledger), procurement (supplier management from onboarding to performance, supplier risk watch, analysis of bids and calls for tender, negotiation briefs, contract and spend checks, CSRD/ESG data), customer service (replies in FR/NL/EN/DE, early dissatisfaction signals), sales (account briefs, public tender monitoring and first drafts), operations (ask-your-data reporting, anomalies flagged before incidents), IT support (standard requests resolved end to end, policy-checked access), testing and quality (from requirement to test, self-maintaining regression), security and third-party risk (questionnaires pre-filled, evidence mapped to ISO 27001, NIS2 and CyberFundamentals controls), HR administration (payroll and absence questions, onboarding paperwork; no evaluation of people). AI takes the work, a person keeps the decision.
- **How we work:** process diagnostic, a 5-week pilot on real data with the team that runs the process, move to production, adoption and change management (redesigned procedures, clear roles, training by role, internal champions), then measurement and governance.
- **Governance first:** AI usage that is overseen and auditable, instead of third-party tools adopted ad hoc.
- **Your data in Europe:** data hosted in European regions; when an AI model runs outside Europe it runs under zero data retention; models hosted in Europe or in the client's environment when confidentiality requires it.
- **AI Act by design:** every use case is risk-classified before work starts; no prohibited practices; high-risk uses (employment, creditworthiness) flagged and not deployed without the required safeguards; transparency, human oversight and logging; AI literacy training for the teams concerned.
- **People first:** change management built into the method (processes redesigned with the people who run them, who validates what, training by role, champions in each team, early social dialogue, adoption tracked after launch).

- **How we build it:** systems exposed to AI agents through one gateway and the Model Context Protocol (MCP); one identity and least-privilege roles per agent; a model gateway routing to several model providers (EU-hosted where required) or to open-weight models hosted in the client's environment, with prompt caching and cost tracking; workflow orchestration in Microsoft Power Automate (Power Platform): AI models read and propose, Power Automate carries the work between systems; human approval for every binding action; full observability (OpenTelemetry, Application Insights, Log Analytics); EU AI Act classification and GDPR upfront. Engineering stack: Microsoft Azure (API Management, Container Apps, Functions, Key Vault, Entra ID), Power Platform and Dataverse, Peppol, GitHub Actions, Playwright, React/TypeScript, Python.
