Their AI co-pilot "Jack," who is driven by their proprietary Accounting Language Model (ALM), is the pinnacle of their invention.

Nicolai Thomson, CEO of Jenesys AI, added: “These regulated tasks can’t not be done, so outsourcing tasks to low-cost labour isn’t just unsustainable; it’s a missed opportunity to leverage AI for efficiency and accuracy at a lower cost”, Thomson states. Further highlighting Jenesys AI’s unique approach, he adds: “Our software is designed for all employees, not just finance professionals. Jack starts working when an employee requests to spend company money via Slack or Teams, allowing Jack to take over most data entry and operational tasks, enabling accountants to focus on validation and analytical work.”
