Use cases
eli.ai is eight systems that compose. On its own each is a capability — connect a source, model it, certify it, trace it, join live data, answer, measure, expose. Chained together they turn a pile of documents into an outcome someone can act on and defend: a grounded answer in a sales call, a scheduled deliverable a client trusts, a ticket deflected before it reaches a human — every one of them cited, governed, traceable, and measured. This page frames the platform by the outcome you're after and routes you to the walkthrough that builds it end to end. For the systems themselves, read the capability map.
The eight systems
The shorthand used below — each a self-contained slice, in pipeline order. Every use case is a different subset chained in a different order. Follow any chip to its deep dive.
Walkthroughs, end to end
Two guides build a real workflow across the whole platform rather than one slice at a time. Start with the one closest to your goal.
Sales enablement
A rep on a live call gets the current price, the certified positioning, and the security posture — cited, never guessed.
Connect the deal room (Intake), certify the messaging reps quote (Warrant), answer in plain language with [Sn] citations and an honest abstain when the corpus is thin (Lens), trace any answer back to the exact battlecard and its blast radius (Lineage), and lock accuracy in with a golden set as the story changes (Crucible).
Systems it threads
Automated reports
The same client report every Monday — current numbers, defensible definitions, a reproducible PDF — with nobody assembling it by hand.
Pull today's numbers from live data with provenance (Conduit), cite them against certified, versioned definitions (Warrant), fuse both into a grounded narrative (Lens), benchmark the figures before a client sees them (Crucible), and render it on a schedule as a byte-for-byte reproducible PDF (Ports).
Systems it threads
By industry — the demo workspaces
Fourteen complete starter workspaces — a dozen industries plus a university and a personal vault. Each guide walks its domain end to end, grounded in the real seeded content, so you can yarn demo:seed <slug>, open the workspace, and follow along. See the catalog.
Wealth management
Cedar Peak Capital
Fuse certified research with the live positions book so “which clients are overweight tech?” is answered, cited, and abstains when the firm can't back it.
Care coordination
Riverside Community Clinic
Pull live quality-gap data through a governed query behind an answer policy that abstains on clinical advice and cites every claim to a certified source.
Incident response
Beacon Software
Turn a 2am page into a cited incident answer with live open-incident counts, abstaining when no incident record backs the claim.
Matter research
Marlowe & Finch
State a certified controlling authority plainly, read the live matters database, and abstain when a settlement call has no authority on file.
Plant operations
Ironwood Manufacturing
Answer “which line has the lowest OEE?” live from the MES — cited, traceable, and abstaining without verified backing.
Merchandising
Summit Outfitters
Answer live inventory questions like which SKUs at Boulder Flagship are below reorder point, with document + warehouse citations.
Property operations
Beacon Property Group
Answer “what's the occupancy at Maple Court?” live from the PMS while refusing fair-housing-risky screening questions.
Grid reliability
Helios Grid Utilities
Turn SCADA alarms and asset records into policy-gated reliability answers, each cited to a certified record and live grid telemetry.
Claims operations
Sentinel Mutual
Read live reserve and loss-ratio numbers from the claims database, abstain on speculation, and benchmark the claims analyst against a golden set.
Fleet operations
Ironline Logistics
From dispatch notes and a live TMS to a cited on-time-delivery answer that abstains when the ops data can't back it.
Revenue & guest ops
Harbor View Hotels
Answer “what was RevPAR at the Waterfront last weekend?” from live PMS data, traced to a certified source and shipped as an always-cited agent.
Content & growth
Lumina Media
Answer “why is the Winback cohort churning?” with a live churn number and a certified metric, abstaining on unreleased-title hype.
Academic advising
Lakeside University
Answer over a certified course catalog and live SIS enrollment, abstaining when it can't (like predicting a grade), shipped as the advising agent.
Personal vault
Household vault
Recall a household fact — a warranty date, a medication, an account balance — with its source, or abstain rather than guess.
More patterns you can build
These aren't separate guides — they're the same eight systems recomposed for other outcomes, achievable today on the platform. The walkthroughs above show the mechanics; swap the domain and the shape holds.
Support deflection
Connect the help center and ticket history (Intake) and certify the canonical answers (Warrant); Lens answers a customer in their own words with citations — and abstains rather than bluff — while Crucible measures deflection quality against a golden set of real tickets.
Research synthesis
Ingest papers, reports, and field notes (Intake) and let Atlas build the concept graph that connects them; Lens synthesizes a grounded answer across sources, and Lineage traces every claim back to the exact document it came from.
Compliance & audit trails
Certify policies with named owners and review SLAs (Warrant); Lineage keeps append-only PROV-O provenance and a blast radius for every change, Crucible proves answers stay correct over time, and Ports exposes the whole audit trail programmatically for the auditor.
