Selected work

Where we've shipped:
four practices, real systems.

Production AI inside an investment firm — chatbots, memos, reports and audit. Each system collapses days of analyst work into minutes.

01

Investment Deal Chatbot

A chatbot that knows every deal in the book.

Problem
Analysts spent hours digging through data rooms, term sheets and prior deal files to answer basic questions about live and historical transactions.
What we did
Built a deal-aware chatbot grounded in the firm's deal corpus with role-based retrieval, citation enforcement and conversational follow-up — wired into the analyst's daily workflow.

Result

  • 10×+
    faster analyst lookups
  • 100%
    answers with citations
  • Live
    across the deal book
02

Investment Memo Generation

First-draft investment memos in minutes, not days.

Problem
Producing an investment memo meant a week of analyst time pulling financials, market context and comparables into the firm's house format.
What we did
Designed a memo-generation pipeline that assembles structured financials, qualitative research and comparables into a house-style first draft for analyst review.

Result

  • 10×+
    faster first drafts
  • House style
    preserved end-to-end
  • Analyst-led
    every memo signed off
03

Report Generation

Periodic reporting on autopilot.

Problem
Quarterly and ad-hoc reports for LPs and committees were stitched together by hand from spreadsheets, CRM exports and slide decks.
What we did
Built a report-generation system that pulls live data from underlying systems, runs the firm's standard analyses, and produces formatted reports ready for review.

Result

  • 10×+
    faster turnaround
  • Consistent
    format & narrative
  • Reusable
    across report types
04

Audit Automation

Audit prep that runs itself.

Problem
Audit cycles forced analysts into weeks of manual reconciliation, document gathering and control testing across fragmented systems.
What we did
Automated evidence-gathering and reconciliation with deterministic checks plus an AI layer that flags anomalies and drafts auditor-ready explanations with full traceability.

Result

  • 10×+
    faster audit prep
  • Full
    audit trail by default
  • Anomalies
    flagged, not buried

Said about us

“
They were the first AI consultancy we met who started with our compliance team's day, not their slide deck. Eight weeks later we had a tool people actually use.

About

A small bench of senior operators — assembled, not staffed.

I'm Luka Bojović. I read engineering at Cambridge, spent years at Microsoft shaping the AI experiences inside Windows and Copilot+ PC, and most recently led product for Sanbo — an AI-native platform for private capital markets. I founded Aries AI to do one thing well: build AI that survives contact with a real institution.

Aries is deliberately a boutique. No pyramid of juniors, no recycled decks. Every project is run by people who can sit in a compliance review at nine, ship a model evaluation by lunch, and brief a board in the afternoon. Our collaborators come from Microsoft, Oxford, LSE, the Serbian AI Institute and Telesign — and we assemble the right four or five of them around your specific problem.

We work with banks, ministries, insurers and industrial operators across Europe. If your AI needs to be auditable, accurate and accountable — let's talk.
