# pivos > pivos provides an AI-managed service for SMEs, Private Equity and VC funds, built to accelerate equity value. AI business support for UK SMEs: eight AI directors working through one dedicated portal, directed and reviewed by experienced people. pivos gives a business an elite AI team that wipes out workload, speeds up decisions, cuts costs and operates with senior-level discipline. Real problems solved, processes automated and growth unlocked. ## Who it is for - SMEs (direct to business): owner/CEO, Managing Director, CFO or COO who want advisory and AI support for business operations, not another generic AI tool. - Private Equity and VC funds (portfolio): operating partners who want a repeatable way to lift productivity and equity value across multiple portfolio companies. - Accountants and advisers (partner): a value-adding referral; pivos delivers, the adviser stays the trusted advisor. ## The eight AI directors Managing Director (Nathan), Finance Director (Rosa), Sales Director (Daniel), Tech Director (Riley), Marketing Director (Priya), Operations Director (Rachel), Compliance Director (James), HR Director (Maya). Clients start with the directors they need and add more as trust builds. Experienced people direct the AI directors, check their work and sign it off (human-in-the-loop). ## How it works 1. Discovery call (Day 1) 2. Scoping: a fact-finding session with the executive (by Day 30) 3. Onboarding: systems, integrations and data connected (by Day 60) 4. Embedding: agents run inside live operations (Month 2-5) 5. Productivity milestone: measurable KPIs (Month 6) 6. Operating system: pivos becomes how the business plans, reports and decides (Month 7-12) ## Governance and security Client data stays inside the client's environment: pivos agents come to the data, the data never comes to pivos. Tenant-level data isolation, consent-based model training, no LLM data reuse, defined AI autonomy levels, UK-hosted and independently assured. Client data is never used to train external AI. UK GDPR: the client is data controller, pivos is processor, ICO-registered. ## Company Pivos Ltd, Excalibur House, Priory Drive, Langstone NP18 2HJ, United Kingdom.
