    In September 2023, the global EY organization (EY) launched EY.ai EYQ – an ecosystem of generative AI (GenAI) capabilities, to address the risks posed by the proliferation of GenAI tools to the EY organization’s operations and brand due to non-compliance with its strict InfoSec, risk management, data privacy and regulatory standards. EYQ is available to over 300,000 EY people from general and domain-specific conversational chat agents, prompt management to POC and solution development.

    EYQ is used to write first drafts, generate proposal ideas, do creative brainstorming, summarize reports, generate synthetic data, content search in large volumes of information, code development, review and more.

    More than an LLM through domain-specific agents: Traditional Large Language Models (LLMs) fall short in delivering context-aware results and do not incorporate the distinct insights and data that EY possesses, which are essential for addressing specific use cases. These limitations ultimately led to the development of agents within EYQ, which augment traditional LLMs by integrating client-provided or proprietary EY data.

    These agents enhance the capabilities of ordinary LLMs by incorporating either EY-specific data or information supplied by clients. EYQ's agents offer a range of support functions, from straightforward, industry-specific chatbots that provide instant, relevant responses to queries in niche fields, aiding EY teams in rapid task completion, to advanced, independent agents designed for strategic thinking and action [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION]

    Agent orchestration framework: EY teams have developed a robust orchestration framework that intelligently manages the collaboration of domain-specific agents based on user context, automatically selecting the best combination for contextually relevant and accurate outcomes. This feature of working with several agents simultaneously is distinctive and significantly simplifies the process of getting tasks done for EY teams.

    Multi-agent framework: EY is improving EYQ with multi-agent framework facilitating versatility across multiple AI agents, using different models/LLMs/platforms/technologies, to seamlessly work together. This setup helps clients scale easily and adapt to market shifts, streamlines operations, and lets employees concentrate on strategic work, boosting innovation and business value.

    Domain LLMs: EY teams are developing LLMs specific to domains. EY Tax team is testing a proprietary tax-specific domain-based LLM for more accurate and detailed tax insights, dependable advice, and improved compliance and reporting. It aims to be a broad and meticulously developed tax knowledge-based LLM.
