Homebase · Finance

A private knowledge graph for finance firms

Homebase connects your firm’s documents, people, and deals into a private knowledge graph — an internal AI assistant trained on your own files that answers your team’s questions in plain language, with every answer cited to its source. Built for finance, wealth, and advisory firms. Installed and run by Bardo in 4–8 weeks, and kept private to your firm.

What it does

Ask your firm anything

Where is the latest version of the fee agreement? What did we tell this client last quarter? Who has worked on a deal like this before? The answers exist — in folders, inboxes, and people’s heads. Homebase puts them one question away.

A private knowledge graph

Connects every document, person, and company into a second brain your team can question in plain language — private to your firm, never shared.

Plain-language answers, cited

Ask questions across everything your firm knows and get sourced answers — every one cited to the document it came from, so staff can verify it.

Compounding memory

Every new document makes the system smarter, with no re-training to manage. Knowledge stops walking out the door when people leave.

What stays with your people

Homebase answers

The questions that eat hours: where things are, what was agreed, who knows what, how this deal compares to the last one — instantly, with citations.

Your people decide

Advice, judgment, and client relationships stay human. On regulated work, a person always stays in the loop — Homebase informs the call, it doesn't make it.

A generic chatbot is fine for

Public-knowledge questions and first drafts. The moment the question is about your firm — your clients, your documents, your deals — generic tools have nothing to stand on.

Knowledge graphs for finance firms: FAQs

What is an AI knowledge graph for a finance firm?
It is a private map of everything your firm knows — documents, people, companies, and deals — connected so an AI assistant can answer questions across all of it in plain language. Homebase is Bardo's knowledge graph for finance, wealth, and advisory firms: ask it anything your firm has written down and it answers with citations to the source documents.
Can an internal AI assistant be trained on our firm's documents?
Yes — that is exactly what Homebase is. It connects your firm's documents, people, and deals into a private knowledge graph your team can question in plain language. There is no model re-training to manage: every new document makes it sharper automatically.
Is a private knowledge base AI safe for a wealth management firm?
Homebase is kept private to your firm — your documents are never shared and never used to train anyone else's models. Every answer is cited to its source so staff can verify it, and on regulated work a person always stays in the loop.
How is this different from ChatGPT or another AI chatbot?
A generic chatbot knows the public internet, not your firm, and it can make things up with confidence. Homebase answers only from your firm's own documents and relationships, cites every answer to its source, and is installed and run for you rather than left for your team to figure out.
How long does it take to set up?
Typically 4–8 weeks via The AI Install: Diagnose (week 1), Design (weeks 1–2), Deploy (weeks 3–6), and Operate (ongoing) — Bardo keeps running it after it is live.
What does it cost?
A scoped engagement, priced to the outcome — typically a fraction of one loaded salary. The free 30-minute audit looks at your firm's documents and workflows and returns a real, scoped quote.

Your firm already knows the answer. Ask it.
