Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about PENTIR, our EU regulatory compliance platform.

How is PENTIR different from generic AI tools like ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs)?

PENTIR is built specifically for EU regulatory compliance and draws, by default, from a curated library of laws and supervisory guidance verified by former senior regulators and seasoned compliance professionals. Unlike general-purpose LLMs that search across vast, unfiltered web information and may generate speculative answers, PENTIR is optimized for accuracy, traceability, and the targeted needs of compliance professionals.

How does PENTIR ensure accuracy and avoid hallucinations?

Our architecture restricts the model to EU regulatory materials and applies strict retrieval and reasoning rules, reducing groundless answers and minimizing the risk of fabricated information. PENTIR also provides a confidence rating for each answer it produces and suggests additional user inputs that would improve confidence.

Is PENTIR suitable for use in regulated environments?

Yes. PENTIR is designed for compliance professionals who must justify their conclusions to regulators. PENTIR provides transparent answers linked to the underlying regulatory text, helping teams document the basis of their decisions and reducing manual research time.

Does PENTIR replace legal advice or compliance judgment?

No. PENTIR is an assistive tool that helps you locate and understand regulatory requirements more efficiently, but all outputs should be reviewed by a qualified compliance professional.

What regulations does PENTIR cover today?

PENTIR currently focuses on EU financial services regulations, directives, and supervisory guidance, with coverage expanding continuously as new materials are incorporated.

How is my data handled when I ask questions or upload documents?

Your prompts and (for business customers) uploaded documents are stored securely within the EU and are used only to deliver service or to improve the product after you've provided explicit consent.

Is my firm's information ever used to train an AI model?

No. PENTIR is not itself a large language model nor does it use customer data to train or fine-tune large language models. Data used for product improvement is handled separately and only with your consent. Data you upload is only available to you, not to other users.

Can PENTIR adapt to regulatory updates or changes in EU rules?

Yes. PENTIR's regulatory library is actively maintained and updated by a team of former regulators and compliance professionals, ensuring that the insights it provides reflect the most current EU frameworks, guidance, and supervisory expectations.

Can PENTIR adapt to the needs or context of my specific firm?

PENTIR focuses on universal EU regulatory requirements, but its structured answers and source citations make it easy for teams to map insights to their internal policies, risk appetite, and supervisory expectations. Business subscribers can also upload their own documents for PENTIR to consider alongside the curated regulatory library, enabling firm-specific answers and facilitating even faster and more reliable workflows.

How quickly can PENTIR be adopted by a compliance team?

Most teams can begin using PENTIR immediately, with no integration required. Business plans add tools such as document gap analysis to support deeper compliance workflows, but still require minimal setup. PENTIR comes with a brief prompt engineering tutorial that will help you craft questions that produce more accurate and actionable answers.

Who are the creators of PENTIR?

The founders of Pentir have experience across the spectrum of technology, compliance and banking. They have worked in senior positions for organizations such as IBM, the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision, Booz Allen, and Luminor Bank in Europe, North America and the Middle East and have combined to package their expertise into a simple, accurate and usable tool.
