What AI can and cannot do in a business, where to start and which applications pay for themselves. A clear explanation and an honest starting point, before you have anything built.
Kantex AI is a service of Kantex, part of AI solutions.
Kantex AI is Kantex’s AI service for companies that want to know where AI makes sense in their organisation: a review of processes and data, a selection of applications that pay for themselves, and a first working application to test that assessment.
Most AI questions we receive do not start with an application but with doubt: can this work for us, what is really to be gained, and what is sales talk? That is a good place to start. We help you answer those questions before anything is built.
There is no shortage of ideas, from a chatbot to smarter planning. What is missing is a way to tell which idea is worth pursuing and which costs a lot and delivers little.
Employees already use AI tools, with company data in them. There is no view of what is being shared, which outputs are trusted and who is responsible.
Documents, emails and systems hold the knowledge AI needs, but scattered, duplicated or incomplete. Whether an application can work often depends on that data.
For each application: where it starts, what the system does and what a person still decides.
So you know in advance whether you are in the right place.
Small steps with a decision point after each one. You are never locked in.
A half-hour conversation about what you want to achieve and which ideas are already on the table. Sometimes the conclusion is that AI is not the answer; if so, we will say so.
Half a day on site or online with the people who do the work. We look at processes, systems and the state of the data.
You receive an overview of applications, each with what it requires, what it delivers and what the risk is. With advice on which to do first.
The first application runs for a few weeks on real data. We measure whether the outcome is right and whether employees actually use it.
Based on the pilot you decide whether and how to continue. If it becomes automation with agents, it continues under Hermes.

Language models are good at reading, summarising, classifying and rewriting text and at recognising data in documents. They are poor at arithmetic, at decisions where the information is not written down, and at tasks where a single error is unacceptable without a check. The useful applications are therefore in work that currently consists of reading and re-keying, with a person judging the outcome.
We look at that during the discovery. The question is not whether the data is perfect, but whether the information an application needs is recorded somewhere and accessible. If procedures exist only in people’s heads, a knowledge assistant will not work. If they are in documents, even messy ones, it usually will.
No. A strategy without a working application is just a document. We prefer to start with one pilot that proves something and build the agreements on data and oversight around it. Those agreements are needed, though, before you scale up.
Kantex AI helps you decide whether and where AI makes sense and tests that with a small pilot. Hermes AI is Kantex’s product for business automation with AI agents: a working system that carries out tasks under human oversight. Kantex AI is often the step before; if your process is already clearly defined, you can start with Hermes directly.
The discovery is a fixed fee that we quote in advance, depending on the number of processes and departments. The pilot that follows has its own fixed price. You are not tied to anything: after each step you can stop, with the overview in hand.
