What problem does TensorLot solve?
Most enterprises sit on millions of documents: five versions of the same procedure, copies in forgotten sites, files from 2019 that still rank first in search. When an AI assistant or an AI agent is pointed at that raw document landscape, it answers with confidence — from the wrong file. Gartner names poor data quality the #1 obstacle in generative-AI projects (2025).
TensorLot addresses the data underneath the AI, not the model on top of it: it finds what is contradictory, duplicated or outdated, helps teams fix it, and makes sure that assistants and agents read the canonical, current version — with a citation.
How does TensorLot work?
TensorLot Core runs in four stages. Nothing moves, nothing is rewritten behind your back.
- Connect. Sources are connected read-only: SharePoint sites, libraries and site collections, Confluence, Jira, GitHub. Sync is incremental and permissions are mirrored from the source system. There is no migration and no copy to maintain.
- Analyse. Every document receives a health score (0–100), and so does the whole tenant. TensorLot detects contradictions across documents and sources, outdated content and duplicates — each recorded as a finding with severity, status and the affected documents, and a canonical candidate where one exists.
- Clean. Findings come with a recommended action (resolve, archive, move, ignore). Action rules define once what “archive” or “resolve” means per URL prefix, library, site or tenant — the most specific rule wins. TensorLot never writes to SharePoint itself; the person or agent acts with their own rights.
- Serve. The cleaned knowledge is served to people through Tensor Bot — grounded answers with citations, scoped to a knowledge space — and to AI agents through one MCP endpoint with 11 governed tools. Every call is audit-logged with agent, tenant and tool.
What does “Knowledge Tensor” mean?
The Knowledge Tensor is TensorLot’s name for the curated knowledge layer that TensorLot Core builds and keeps in sync on top of the raw sources: one representation of the document landscape across several dimensions at once — documents and their versions, where they live, how healthy they are, how they relate to each other (duplicates, contradictions, canonical versions), and who may see them.
Everything TensorLot serves reads from this layer instead of from the raw file share: Tensor Bot answers from it, the MCP server exposes it to agents, and the console shows it as health scores, findings and contradictions. That is why answers can cite the canonical version and why agents get one clean context instead of five conflicting files — which is also where the measured reduction in tokens per answer comes from.
Who is TensorLot for?
TensorLot is built for enterprises and public-sector organisations whose knowledge lives in Microsoft 365 / SharePoint, Confluence, Jira and similar systems, and who want to run assistants and AI agents on that knowledge without inheriting its inconsistencies.
- Knowledge-management, information-governance and compliance teams that need to know what is outdated, duplicated or contradictory — and fix it with rules rather than by hand.
- AI, data and platform teams that build assistants or agents (Copilot Studio, Claude, OpenAI, LangGraph, custom frameworks) and want one governed, cited retrieval layer instead of raw document dumps.
- Business functions such as procurement, compliance, onboarding and support, where people ask the same questions of the same documents every day.
- Regulated organisations that require read-only access, EU hosting, a clear governance model for agents and a full audit trail.
TensorLot and AI agents (MCP)
TensorLot is an MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets an AI agent call external tools. An agent is created in the TensorLot console, scoped to a defined knowledge space (sites, libraries or topics), and given a default-deny tool list — tools are off until switched on. It connects through one endpoint with one key, which expires and can be revoked at any time.
The MCP server exposes 11 governed tools, among them ask and search_documents (semantic search and grounded, cited answers — the same retrieval as Tensor Bot), list_findings and get_finding (quality findings such as duplicates, contradictions and outdated content), and set_document_action (governed actions such as archive or resolve, executed with the user’s rights and audit-logged). A playground lets teams dry-run a task over the real MCP endpoint and inspect every tool call before going live.
How does TensorLot compare to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Glean and RAG frameworks?
TensorLot is not an assistant that competes with Copilot or Glean, and not a vector database or RAG framework. It is the layer underneath them that makes the data itself trustworthy — and it can feed any of them.
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | Glean | RAG frameworks / vector DBs | TensorLot | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | AI assistant inside Microsoft 365 | Enterprise search & assistant across work apps | Building blocks to retrieve documents for an LLM | Knowledge foundation: data quality, clean-up and governed serving layer |
| Works on the data… | as it is in M365 | as it is in the connected apps | as it is indexed | after scoring, contradiction/duplicate detection and clean-up |
| Finds contradictions, duplicates, outdated copies | No | No | No | Yes — per document, with canonical version and findings |
| Fixes the source of the problem | No | No | No | Guided remediation and action rules (person or agent acts with own rights) |
| Model / platform | Microsoft | Glean | your choice | any — Copilot Studio, Claude, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, LangGraph, any MCP client |
| Agents | Copilot Studio agents | Glean agents | custom | MCP server with 11 governed tools, default-deny, audit-logged |
| Relationship to TensorLot | TensorLot can be the knowledge source for Copilot Studio agents | Complementary: TensorLot cleans the knowledge; Glean searches | TensorLot replaces raw dumps with curated, cited context | — |
In short: Copilot and Glean answer over your knowledge as it is; TensorLot makes sure that what they (and any other model or agent) read is deduplicated, contradiction-checked, current — and cited.

Frequently asked questions about TensorLot
What is TensorLot in one sentence?
TensorLot is an enterprise AI knowledge foundation that makes existing documents AI-ready — scoring quality, detecting contradictions, duplicates and outdated copies, guiding the clean-up, and serving cited answers to people and AI agents (via MCP) on any model.
Is TensorLot a chatbot or an AI assistant?
No. Tensor Bot, the cited-answer interface, is one output of TensorLot — but the product is the knowledge layer underneath: data quality, clean-up and governed serving. It can feed Copilot Studio agents, Claude, OpenAI-based assistants or any MCP client.
Does TensorLot move or change our documents?
No. Access to sources such as SharePoint, Confluence, Jira and GitHub is read-only, sync is incremental, and TensorLot never writes back. Clean-up actions are recommended and governed by rules, but executed by a person or an agent with their own rights.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and why does it matter here?
MCP is the open standard that lets an AI agent call external tools. TensorLot is an MCP server: one endpoint, one key, 11 governed tools that are off by default and switched on per agent. That is how Copilot Studio, Claude or any agent framework reads clean, cited knowledge instead of raw files.
Which models and platforms does TensorLot work with?
TensorLot is model- and platform-agnostic: Copilot Studio, Claude, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, LangGraph and any MCP-compatible client. Sources stay where they are; models and agent frameworks remain the customer’s choice.
Where is TensorLot hosted?
In the EU, with private cloud or deployment in the customer’s own VPC available on request. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
How much does TensorLot cost?
Pricing is on request and depends on the number of documents and data sources, users and the capabilities needed. Most customers start with a 2–4 week Proof of Concept on their own data, whose costs are typically credited towards the first year.
What does “up to 70 % fewer tokens” mean?
Because agents and assistants receive curated, deduplicated context instead of raw document dumps, TensorLot pilot deployments in 2026 showed up to 70 % lower token usage per answer — fewer tokens, fewer retries, lower model bills on any model.
