What it does
BISHENG is a platform for businesses to build and run AI applications. It includes an agent that breaks a goal into steps and can produce reports, slides, spreadsheets or Word files.
It also offers shared knowledge spaces where teams store documents and ask the AI questions, with answers that point back to their sources. A visual workflow editor lets people chain steps, loops and human approvals.
There are business features such as user roles, permissions, approvals and audit logs. Some features, like dashboards, are only in a commercial edition.
Who it's for
Companies and IT teams that want to host their own AI tools for staff.
