AI & data handling

AI grounded in your research context.

The assistant answers from your research model and dashboards — not the open web — and every answer traces back to the exact source it came from.

Grounded in your context

Answers come from your research model and dashboards — not the open web.

Source-linked & traceable

Every answer cites base size, filter and the exact chart it came from.

No isolated chat histories

Findings live in the research model, not a disconnected chat log.

OpenAI models on Azure · EU

AI runs on OpenAI models via Microsoft Azure in an EU region — processing stays in the EU.

Not used to train models

Your research data is not used to train Cauliflower models or the foundation models it runs on.
