Business functions
FeatureWhat thalabus doesYour benefits
01Finding knowledgeSearches large document libraries, intranet and specialized systems to find the right document along with related results, featuring a relevance slider for the user.The right document instead of a long search.
02Answers with sourcesEvery statement is linked to its source and facts are traced back to the original document. This helps detect and correct hallucinations early.Results you can verify and stand behind.
03Case analysisAnalyzes a case including fundamentals, similar cases, risks, open points, missing documents and a recommendation for the next step.Shared practical knowledge for everyone, including new team members.
04Checking guidelinesCompares findings with guidelines, contracts and policies, automatically detecting contradictions between sources.Discrepancies and gaps at a glance.
05Reports and decision memosCreates reports as PDFs from the relevant documents, such as weekly reports from the week's files.Review and send instead of compiling.
06Collaborative writingPrepares documents and helps you draft them further, drawing on existing materials. You contribute your ideas, knowledge and expertise.A good first draft, you hold the pen.
07DossiersBundles documents by person, per meeting or by topic and makes them specifically searchable.Order in the knowledge that belongs together.
08Reusable datasetsThe search result is saved as a data set and used in chats and tools.Researched once, used multiple times.
09Chatbots for employees and customersAnswer questions from your documents and systems, with the permissions of the source systems.Information based on verified data.
10AI in business processesIntegrates into case management and process management systems, taking on individual process steps there.AI right where the work happens.
11Dedicated interface per use caseIf desired, each use case gets its own interface tailored to its users.Easy to use for all users.
12Approval or full automationFor each step, you decide whether a specialist approves it or thalabus completes it automatically.From an assistant to a fully automated process step.
03 · Tools

AI tools at a click.

For anyone who prefers clicking over chatting: select a document, launch the tool and review the result. The collection is continuously expanding.

04 · Technology

The technology beneath the surface.

For IT and architecture: the building blocks thalabus uses to connect search, knowledge, agents and language models.

Technology
Building blockHow it worksImpact
01Hybrid RAG searchCombines semantic search (embeddings), category search via deterministic indexes and multilingual full-text search (BM25) in a single query, with fast reranking and prompt augmentation.Exact terms and relevant matches at the same time.
02GraphRAG and PathRAGSearches along relationships in the Knowledge Graph, even across multiple conversation turns (multi-turn RAG).Context instead of isolated text passages.
03Ontology and knowledge graphCustomizable ontology with entities, relationships, attributes, categories and lexicons, including import and export in OWL, Turtle and JSON-LD.Your domain expertise in an open, verifiable structure.
04Automated knowledge extractionExtracts entities and relationships from documents, Confluence and intranets, consolidates sources and identifies conflicts. Visual display with links back to the original sources.Knowledge from many sources gathered in one place.
05Deep ReasoningOperates in cycles of planning, execution and review. Every use case is configured using structured documents in natural language. Built-in quality management detects hallucinations early.Traceable decisions with facts linked to their source.
06Multi-agent framework thalaplanExtracts goals, breaks them into executable steps and runs agents and tools in parallel, whether autonomously, templated or customized.Handle complex tasks even with smaller models.
07Local open-weight modelsOptimized for small, local models hosted in your own data center, featuring knowledge distillation and automated fine-tuning from user feedback.Maximum confidentiality on moderate infrastructure.
08Vendor-neutral inferenceRuns local models, cost-efficient cloud models or hyperscaler models, depending on your data privacy and scaling needs.Freedom to choose the right model for every use case.
09de²generatorSits between agents and inference, monitoring token flow to continuously correct errors, contradictions, empty responses, JSON errors and factual deviations.Reliable results even with small models.
10Isolated sessionsEach chat and tool session runs inside its own private, hardened container.Data remains strictly isolated for every user.
11Access control lists (ACL)Controls access to documents, dossiers and knowledge graph records: private, group-based or public. Anonymous users only see public items.Everyone sees only what they are authorized to see.
12REST API and Python SDKCustom applications can tap into thalabus AI services via REST interfaces or the Python SDK.Bring thalabus directly into your existing applications.
13Agents, skills and MCPExtensible with custom agents, skills and external MCP servers, custom chat and tool widgets as well as extra tools.Grows along with your requirements.
14Automated scalingContainer management automatically scales sessions up and down.Resources exactly when you need them.

t2b’s Quality Management System passed the ISO9001 audit!

when working on customer sites, we most often have to adhere to our valued customers‘ Quality Management Systems. Documents we produce for them are stored on customers‘ infrastructure and the corresponding processes are documented there.

12.Nov'25: We are ISO9001 certified!

ISO 9001 Zertifikat der t2b AG

For t2b projects, internal process, as well for our consulting and architecture work we also follow our t2b QMS processes, which «live» on our Office365 Sharepoint environment (called bluediks) for the bigger part.

We are proud that we passed our initial audit without any findings!
