3i, one of Europe’s leading private equity firms, encountered a challenge in harnessing digital technologies, particularly AI and generative AI, to fulfil their strategic objectives. They required a partner capable of translating their vision into operational improvements, with a particular focus on optimising their day-to-day activities. Halfspace provided the expertise to develop an AI-backed solution designed to enhance 3i’s operations, with a primary emphasis on improving the firm’s document management processes.

Halfspace’s solution comprised three core tools aimed at revolutionising document management. A document summariser enabled the swift condensation of documents and meeting transcripts into clear, customisable summaries. A data extraction tool facilitated the extraction of structured information from unstructured sources, while a contextualised search and Q&A feature allowed users to interact with documents via a dynamic, chat-based interface. These tools, when combined, enhanced 3i’s ability to process and manage critical documents, making their workflow more efficient and intuitive.

The collaboration between 3i and Halfspace had a transformative effect on 3i’s operations. The implementation of these AI-driven tools markedly improved the firm’s document management capabilities, allowing for quicker processing and easier access to essential information. This project represented a significant milestone in 3i’s transition towards becoming a more digitally-driven enterprise and underscored the importance of working with a partner like Halfspace, who not only possessed deep AI expertise but also understood how to convert strategic ambitions into practical, effective solutions.
