SurgeONE.ai Unveils Avery Actions, the Industry’s First Agentic AI for Compliance, Cybersecurity and Data Operations

Published

on

Single platform to provide communications archiving, e-comms review, off-channel monitoring, risk and governance operations and AI governance. Qualified experts review Avery’s output, with everything logged in a single exam record.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SurgeONE.ai today introduced Avery Actions at the NSCP National Conference. Avery, SurgeONE’s AI assistant, can now do the work across compliance, cybersecurity, data and AI governance operations. Qualified experts review Avery’s output, and every action lands in one exam record.

The release also adds text message archiving, off-channel app monitoring, custodian data feeds and video marketing review. SurgeONE is now the only firm supporting this range of risk and compliance operations in one exam-ready platform.

Point solutions each see one slice. Meanwhile, off-channel communications remain an enforcement priority, supervision workloads keep growing, and employees adopt generative AI faster than firms can write policy.

One platform. One record.

Archiving, e-comms review, off-channel monitoring, policies, OBA reviews, audits, vendor due diligence, custodian data, cybersecurity, data operations and AI governance run on one workflow, one audit trail and one set of guardrails.

What’s new

Capture and review: Texts and messaging apps are archived alongside email, supporting SEC Rule 17a-4, Advisers Act Rule 204-2 and FINRA Rules 3110 and 4511.

Avery at work: Avery drafts policies, triages OBA disclosures, gathers audit evidence and organizes vendor due diligence, with expert review.

AI governance: TrustGate enforces policy on employee AI use, AI conversations are archived, and shadow AI detection flags unapproved tools.

When the SEC asks, Avery answers. Avery gathers answers to an examiner’s request list from across the platform and produces a detailed report. Qualified experts review every answer before it goes out, and the whole process is logged. Avery works only on the firm’s own data, under role-based permissions and approval thresholds.

“Point solutions each answer a piece of the question,” said Sid Yenamandra, Founder and CEO of SurgeONE.ai. “Avery Actions does the work across compliance, cybersecurity and data functions, with qualified experts standing behind every result. Compliance, cybersecurity and data are not optional for a regulated firm, and a new era has arrived in how those teams get the work done. SurgeONE and Avery are the AI-empowered tools that can help firms stay ahead in this quickly evolving environment.”

“SurgeONE brings our cybersecurity compliance and vendor management into one platform,” said Aaron Spradlin, Chief Information Officer at United Planners Financial Services. “That gives our team better visibility into where we stand and less time spent piecing it together.”

“We started with SurgeONE for cybersecurity and vendor management and are now expanding into registration, onboarding and marketing review,” said Brian Kobel, Enterprise Technology Solutions Sr Manager, United Planners Financial Services. “Their team is working alongside ours to build a transition that fits how our firm operates.”

“We brought our data onto SurgeONE because they understand the compliance use case and can simplify the work of turning multiple data sources into actionable information,” said Rich Whalen of Equity Services, Inc. “Having Avery support our experts as they build the data normalization rules has made a real difference.”

See Avery Actions at the SurgeONE.ai booth at the NSCP National Conference, Oct. 25-28, at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando.

Context Labs AI Distillery™ Lets Enterprises Run Sovereign AI on Data They Own

Published

on

By

Company launches the Context Engine for trusted sovereign AI, which packages an enterprise’s own data with verified lineage for use with the frontier or open-weight model the enterprise chooses.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Context Labs B.V. (“Context Labs”), the AI Data Infrastructure company, today launched the Context Labs AI Distillery™, the Context Engine for trusted sovereign AI. The AI Distillery converts an enterprise’s operational and business data into a governed Context Package that the enterprise owns, creating their own protected competitive moat. Every answer an AI model draws from the package is traced to its source records, and the package works with the frontier or open weight model the customer chooses, inside the customer’s own environment.

Analysts have quantified the obstacle to scaling enterprise AI. Gartner predicts that through 2026 organizations will abandon 60% of AI projects unsupported by AI-ready data, and that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027. McKinsey reports that eight in ten companies name data limitations as the barrier to scaling AI agents. Gartner has also described what enterprises now need: software that lets teams construct, govern and deliver semantically organized knowledge to AI agents, built on ontologies and knowledge graphs.

 The Context Labs AI Distillery™ is designed around six outcomes:

Own your IP. An enterprise’s knowledge, know-how and operating context stay inside a Context Package that only it controls and are not used to train third-party AI models.

Own your AI. The intelligence employees create in everyday use accrues to the enterprise, not to a model provider, and grows with every interaction.

Trusted, provable answers. Every output carries its data lineage and decision provenance, so answers can be verified, audited, and defended.

Build, protect and scale a proprietary competitive asset. The Context Package captures how the enterprise describes and runs its operations, starting with one facility and extending to others without rebuilding.

Sovereign by design. The AI Distillery runs inside the customer’s own data center or chosen cloud, so data stays where the customer decides.

Freedom of model choice, at lower cost. Customers can use any frontier or open-weight model and switch models without rebuilding the Context Package. Precise, verified context reduces the tokens each query uses.

The AI Distillery works in three steps: distill, package, and prove. It maps an enterprise’s structured and unstructured data to industry-specific ontologies, stores the result in a Context Package with cryptographic provenance, and checks answers against the company’s own records before any model goes into production. Work that has typically required teams of specialist engineers becomes a guided, governed workflow.

Context Agents and the Semantic Context Tunnel. Context Agents answer operational, commercial and compliance questions from the enterprise’s Context Package, with every figure traced to its source. The Semantic Context Tunnel brings the same context into the AI assistant employees already use. Both work within the access controls the enterprise sets.

“Models come and go. An enterprise’s context should not,” said Dan Harple, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Context Labs. “Frontier models will keep improving, but they do not supply governance, provenance or trust, and they should not absorb the knowledge that makes a company competitive. The AI Distillery gives enterprises a moat they own: their own context, proven and protected, working with whichever model they choose. That is how our customers own their IP and own their AI.”

At ADIPEC 2026, Context Labs is demonstrating the AI Distillery on energy-sector use cases, in which a Context Agent answers operational questions with every figure traced to the underlying plant records. Context Labs is located Arab Development Group stand, Stand #5240, Hall 5 and in the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, AI Zone, Hall 13.

Availability. The Context Labs AI Distillery™ is available now through the Microsoft Marketplace. Each enterprise license includes an industry starter kit to accelerate time to value. Companies can request a briefing or technical working session at contextlabs.com/distillery.
