How the aedifion
AI Assistant Works

The AI Assistant uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), combining the precision of structured data queries with the flexibility of modern language models. Receive precise information without long searches or interpretation.

01

Query
Ask your question in the aedifion frontend – in natural language.

02

Data Access
The assistant searches documentation, system messages, analyses, and live building data in real time. Verified public information can also be included.

03

Context Preparation
Relevant information is linked, e.g., data points with analyses, document excerpts, and recommended actions.

04

Intelligent Answer Generation
The AI model delivers clear, traceable answers – including sources, reference data points, diagrams, and next steps.

05

Transparency & Security
Answers are based on your data, remain in the system, and meet the highest data protection standards.

FAQ

aedifion AI Assistant

What is the aedifion AI Assistant?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

The aedifion AI Assistant is an intelligent chatbot designed for efficient building operations. It accesses existing building data and documents, analyzes them, and provides technical operators and asset managers with fast, precise information about their properties and technical systems. The AI Assistant is powered by generative AI and supports operational optimization and fault resolution through a classic question-and-answer interface.

How can I access the AI Assistant?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

The AI Assistant is an integral part of our cloud platform and is made available to users upon request at no additional cost. If you are interested, please contact your aedifion representative directly.

What questions can I ask the AI Assistant?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

Questions are asked via a chat window directly in the aedifion software frontend. The AI Assistant is intuitive to use, as questions can be asked in natural language without requiring deep IT or AI knowledge. The AI Assistant also responds in natural language.

Typical use cases include:

  • Quick retrieval of technical and operational building information
  • Access to information from manuals and technical documentation
  • Actionable recommendations for fault resolution and optimization measures
  • Interpretation of error codes and system messages
  • Comparison of multiple buildings within a portfolio

How does the AI Assistant work?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

The aedifion AI Assistant is deeply integrated into the aedifion ecosystem. It processes structured data from building components, uploaded documents such as manuals and building plans, analytical recommendations from our software, as well as other customer-specific documents and public sources. A Large Language Model (LLM) searches these contents and generates precise answers and concrete recommendations. The AI Assistant extends the core functions of our cloud platform, such as .analytics and .controls, but does not actively control building operations or execute control commands.

Is there training for new users?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

Yes, upon request we offer a short introduction with practical examples to make it as easy as possible for you to start using the AI Assistant.

Is the AI Assistant compatible with existing building systems?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

Yes, the AI Assistant is system-independent and flexible. Through deep integration into the aedifion ecosystem, it uses all available platform data and can, where appropriate, incorporate additional public information.

Which LLM technology provider is used?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

Currently, aedifion uses a Large Language Model from OpenAI. The architecture is deliberately provider-flexible, allowing for an easy switch to other models, such as from Google or customer-specific solutions, if required.

How is data privacy and information security ensured?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

Protecting your data is our top priority. Your building data and customer documents are processed and stored exclusively on the aedifion cloud platform. All our IT and business processes are certified according to the information security standard DIN EN ISO/IEC 27001. Data necessary for AI processing is transmitted to the selected LLM provider – currently OpenAI – solely to answer the query. The data is neither stored nor further processed. Thanks to the provider-flexible architecture, it is also possible to switch LLM providers to meet specific compliance or data protection requirements.

How is the AI Assistant implemented?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

For users of our cloud platform, we first clarify the functionality and relevant use cases in a joint kick-off session if requested. Afterwards, we complete the data processing agreement, set up the document and database within our .elevate service, and activate the AI Assistant in the frontend. If desired, we can support the launch with an additional session for individual questions and best practices.

Where can I provide feedback or suggestions for improvement?

Icon im aedifion Farbverlauf - Pfeil nach unten

Your feedback is important to us. You can submit suggestions and requests directly through the feedback function in the aedifion platform or contact our support team by email. This helps us continuously improve the AI Assistant.
