Join our Methodological Board and contribute to the next project types that will be added in Cigno.

Your firm. Your IP.

For firms that want a deeply tailored experience, Cigno acts as an AI agent factory. We design, deploy, and maintain custom private agents that reflect your methodologies, your knowledge base, and your visual identity.

Your methodologies

We build a system based on how you run projects. Your frameworks, your processes, your quality standards — embedded directly into Cigno private agents and workflows, only available to you.

Your knowledge base

We draw insights from your internal documents, past deliverables, and proprietary research. Your knowledge becomes a live, searchable asset.

Your visual identity

We design slides with your style. Your templates, your colors, your layouts — so every output looks like it came from your team.

One of the most powerful backends ever built for consulting.

A complete operating environment — not just AI.

An enterprise-grade data layer

Knowledge bases, client spaces, structured data, document repositories, URL indexing and persistent memories — all isolated per client, all feeding your private agents. Your corpus becomes a living, proprietary data mart that gets smarter with every project.

The most advanced AI toolkit in the industry

Custom agents, multi-model support, skills, functions, templates, complex workflow orchestration, a research agent network, and a full testing environment — everything needed to build, deploy and maintain agents that think exactly like your firm does.

A sovereign, fully controlled environment

Dedicated instance per firm, physically isolated from other clients. Role-based access, audit logging, time-bound admin access. European-hosted, CLOUD Act-free. Your IP never leaves your environment.

Built to grow with your firm

News Tracker, Custom Chats, generated content management, and a continuously expanding feature set — Karapp is architected to become the infrastructure your firm operates on, far beyond AI alone.
