Addressing the Challenges of Modern Knowledge Work
We are excited to announce our investment in Delos, a next-generation AI-powered workspace that revolutionizes productivity by integrating advanced generative AI tools into daily enterprise workflows.
Delos’ modular platform, which includes applications such as Assistant, Explore, Docs, Trad, Recap, Scribe, and Actu, enhances efficiency, enables real-time collaboration, and empowers knowledge workers to focus on high-value tasks.
Delos' Unique Approach to AI-Powered Productivity
Delos’ proprietary AI technologies, such as Post-RAG (advanced retrieval-augmented generation) and LLM Live (real-time orchestration), set it apart from traditional tools.
Unlike generic AI-powered systems like Microsoft Copilot, Delos offers task-specific, modular tools that integrate directly into enterprise workflows. Its multi-modal capabilities (handling text, images, video, and sound) and real-time model querying across several large language models (LLMs) drastically reduce inference time and cost, all while ensuring data is stored securely on sovereign infrastructure for compliance with EU regulations. This creates a highly scalable, enterprise-ready solution that offers enhanced productivity, security, and a user-friendly experience.
Why Is This Problem Significant, & How Large Is Its Impact?
The problem Delos addresses is significant because knowledge workers, especially in sectors like finance and consulting, spend over 60% of their time processing information—tasks like reading emails, searching files, and formatting documents, which are necessary but tedious.
By automating these tasks, Delos is well-positioned to significantly shift how employees allocate their time, enabling them to focus on work that drives business growth. With Delos, businesses can save up to three working days per week per advanced user, boosting productivity and reducing cognitive load. The potential impact extends across the tertiary sector, which includes 80 million white-collar workers in Europe alone. Delos’ solution targets a massive opportunity in industries like finance, retail, legal, and education, where AI-powered tools can optimize work processes and increase efficiency.
