Butterflai is not another chatbot. It is not another search engine. It is not another dashboard. Butterflai is an Intelligence Layer: it reasons across your business systems and explains business outcomes with traceable evidence.
The problem with the usual options
Most companies trying to get answers from their data end up with one of three tool categories, and each one solves half the problem:
- BI and dashboard tools compute correct numbers, but only for the questions someone anticipated and built. The question you have today is rarely the one the dashboard was built for, and building a new one takes an analyst and a week.
- Generic AI copilots are articulate but unanchored. They do not hold your ERP, your ad accounts, and your contracts in one governed data layer, so they summarize what they are pasted and guess the rest.
- Enterprise search tools find documents. They do not compute. “Find the supplier contract” works; “which supplier’s price increase explains our margin drop” does not, because it needs documents and numbers together.
What an Intelligence Layer does differently
| Capability | Dashboards / BI | Generic copilots | Enterprise search | Butterflai |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Computed answers from your live business records | Prebuilt only | No | No | Yes, any question |
| Answers from documents and contracts | No | Paste-in only | Finds, does not answer | Yes, with sources |
| One question across systems (ERP + ads + analytics) | No | No | No | Yes |
| Traceable evidence behind every answer | Partial | No | Links only | Yes |
| Permission-aware retrieval | Per dashboard | No | Varies | Per file, integration, report |
| Works without an analyst in the loop | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Native mobile apps with home-screen KPIs | Varies | No | No | iOS and Android |
| EU AI Act transparency built in | N/A | Varies | Varies | Yes, all surfaces |
The comparison is by category, deliberately. Specific products differ, and the right architecture for a large enterprise often combines several layers. What no dashboard, generic copilot, or search tool does alone is the combination in the right-hand column: computed, referenced, permission-aware answers across structured and unstructured data, in one conversation.
Proof, not promises
- In production with real businesses on real data, across web, a native iOS app, and a native Android app, in 8 languages.
- Selected by CrediaBank for a bank-funded pilot programme that brings Butterflai to the bank’s SME business customers.
- 11 production connectors, from Softone ERP to Shopify, Meta, Google Analytics 4, TikTok, and Klaviyo. See Connectors.
- Transparency by construction: source-referenced answers, deterministic report pipelines, and EU AI Act Article 50 markings on every surface. See Explainable AI.
- EU-grounded operations: operated by Sleed S.A. in Greece, hosted on Microsoft Azure in Frankfurt, AI processing through Azure OpenAI (Microsoft Ireland), 24/7 monitoring through the EU-funded SOC4SME programme. See the Trust Center.
What it is worth
The economics of an Intelligence Layer come from time: hours not spent hunting for numbers, reports that assemble themselves, decisions taken this week instead of next month. Estimate it for your own team with our ROI calculator.
