CONCIS – Customized Online Navigational Chatbot for Intelligent Support
 

While many chatbots rely on large language models like ChatGPT or Bard, CONCIS takes a different approach. We prioritize your privacy and data integrity, ensuring full compliance with local laws and regulations. To achieve this, each CONCIS variant - be it CONCIS-E for education, CONCIS-B for business or CONCIS-G for government - is powered by specialized, localized Large Language Models (LLMs) such as LLAMA-2, Falcon and Mistral.
Each variant can be dedicated to a specific LLM, enabling specialized use cases that go beyond generic interactions. This ensures that you don't just get a chatbot, but a highly specialized tool designed to meet your unique needs.
