BOB is not a vendor pitch: it is the platform FM's own delivery teams, Group IT, and client-facing partners rely on. What they expect from it — and what it delivers.

with its own agents, portal, and pipelines, sharing core infrastructure.
AI models and vendors rotate. A governed semantic layer, built in open standards, compounds across engagements.
BOB is a direct brief, not a vendor pitch. Every pattern on this site is live in the BOB repo today: modules, portals, GAIA routing, Azure runtime. We only share architectures we run ourselves, and we do not claim sovereignty where vendor constraints undermine it — trade-offs are documented, not hidden.
This is also a research preview. Capabilities are live and continue to evolve; this is not a finished product. What stays constant is the principle behind it: encode client knowledge as modules, ontologies, and structured content, not disposable slide decks, so delivery compounds over time instead of resetting on every engagement.
One semantic spine, one delivery model, built to outlast any single model or vendor.
Forvis Mazars works inside client organisations across audit, tax, and advisory in over 100 countries. BOB turns that depth of access into a structured, persistent intelligence layer: your sector context, your relationship history, and your strategic priorities, available to every Forvis Mazars team working with you.
Consistent, structured outputs aligned with firm-wide standards
BOB builds a structured, continuously updated picture of your organisation: your sector position, competitive landscape, strategic priorities, and the market forces shaping your business. Forvis Mazars teams arrive to every conversation already grounded in your context.
Every prior engagement, every sector specialist, every cross-border relationship Forvis Mazars holds becomes part of the intelligence available to your account team. BOB surfaces the right expertise and the right context at the moment it is needed.
Each audit and advisory engagement enriches the intelligence layer around your organisation. Outputs and sector insights feed back into the system, so the quality of advice compounds over time instead of restarting from scratch.
Custom AI Systems are built with the open-source ABI framework in collaboration with technology partners NaasAI. This provides a configurable architecture for domain-specific workflows while preserving traceability and governance across deployments.
We combine engagement data, service knowledge, market intelligence, and industry trends into one ontology-driven client knowledge graph. Each engagement adds structured context, so recommendations become more relevant over time. On top of this graph, sovereign AI helps teams identify cross-selling opportunities, benchmark performance, and deliver advice grounded in the full client context.
