We’re taking AI further

As a technology partner with a clear focus on innovation, Fact systematically invests in the research and application of artificial intelligence. Our goal: practical solutions that don’t just sound visionary but deliver real progress in everyday use. The Companion for First is being developed from exactly this perspective – as part of a product strategy that integrates AI intelligently and drives it forward with purpose.

The Companion for First is the Agentic AI solution for a new era in digital asset administration – an intelligent, dialogue-based assistant that provides comprehensive support for professionals managing assets in First Cloud: sound, compliant and future-ready.

As simple as a conversation

As a dialogue-based assistant, the Companion understands instructions in natural language, handles repetitive tasks and supports strategic assessments – becoming an integral part of specialist processes, controlling and risk management.

 

Create new headspace

The Companion introduces a new way of working: professional expertise remains at the centre – supported by AI that takes on defined tasks. The result: context-specific, quality-assured outputs that accelerate decision-making, reduce risk and create space for strategic thinking.

 

Broad in application. Focused in impact.

The Companion supports the entire digital process with:

 

targeted analyses

clearly presented visualisations

automated reports

up-to-date specialist information from financial news sources

context-aware insights

system-guided explanations of complex First Cloud functions

Agentic AI – A new standard for digital autonomy

Agentic AI represents a new level of intelligence: systems that don’t just respond, but take autonomous action – with clear intent, in context and with consistency. This is precisely what makes the Companion for First the ideal solution for data-driven day-to-day operations in asset administration. Where many individual steps are still required today, the Companion takes over complete analytical workflows: it understands the task, independently identifies the relevant data in First Cloud, filters, calculates and combines the required information – and delivers the result in the appropriate format.

Autonomous orchestration instead of manual process chains

The Companion intelligently selects and controls the required tools, executing each step in the optimal order with efficiency and precision. It’s not a tool that needs to be operated, but an intelligent actor that executes tasks in a structured way and delivers well-founded decision-making support. That’s Agentic AI – and the next step in digital asset administration.

Our modular development approach

Innovation needs structure to make an impact. That’s why the Companion is being developed through a modular process with a clear focus: grounded in expertise, practice-oriented and designed for the future. This Agentic AI solution evolves in line with the requirements of asset administration, adapts to new regulatory frameworks and continuously opens up new areas of application. In doing so, it remains scalable and forward-compatible – becoming a key component of future-ready operational processes in asset administration.

Real-world use cases as the foundation of the roadmap

Practical applications form the core of development – aligned with the day-to-day work of professionals and focused precisely where Agentic AI can deliver tangible value.

Current use case: Analyses & visualisations

With the Companion for First, accessing data-driven analyses from First Cloud is as simple as having a conversation.

  • Based on a natural language request, the Companion generates exactly the analysis you need – quickly, precisely and in a clear structure.
  • It independently identifies what matters: filtering relevant data from your First Cloud data pool, combining it intelligently and determining which tools to apply – and in what order.
  • The result: a tailored decision-making basis – presented as a list, a text or a graphic.

This first functionality is scheduled for release on 1 January 2026 – a milestone for digital asset administration.

Looking ahead: continuously growing value

What begins with analyses will gradually evolve into comprehensive day-to-day support:

  • In future, the Companion will be able to integrate external information sources – such as publications from BaFin.
  • AI agents will carry out defined, recurring analyses automatically, generate reports and texts, and send notifications.
  • An integrated knowledge assistant is also planned – explaining system functions, supporting users in daily operations and customisation, and helping to reduce training time and associated costs.
