Benki

Benki is an AI platform designed for M&A teams to generate deal documents and financial models with transparent audit trails. It integrates with existing data rooms to accelerate the creation of Confidential Information Memoranda (CIMs), valuation models, and other transaction documents.

Key Features

• Rapid CIM generation: Produce Confidential Information Memoranda in days instead of months by connecting your data room to Benki AI engine, which drafts every section based on uploaded financial, operational, and legal information. Output is available as PDF, DOCX, or HTML.
• Dynamic deal document creation: Instantly generate memos, pitch books, and financial reports with inline citations and contribution tracking. The CLI-style interface lets users run commands to update models and publish documents with specific deal access parameters.
• Real-time AI agent customization: Create and customize AI agents on the fly with a playground for model selection. Integrate custom knowledge sources, set access permissions, and assign roles to orchestrate a team of virtual analysts for different deal tasks.
• Transparent audit trails: Every human and AI contribution is logged with full document lineage, reducing compliance risk and providing clarity for regulatory review. The platform tracks who contributed what to each document.
• FinBench Arena: An open-source benchmarking platform for evaluating LLMs on real-world financial scenarios. It helps firms build an LLM deployment strategy aligned with their specific risk tolerance and compliance requirements.
• Secure data room: A dedicated space for collecting, reviewing, and analyzing financial, operational, and legal information for each client deal, supporting upload and download of entire folders.
