About this agent
Knowledge Librarian is an AI agent for Financial Services, built to run on the ibl.ai platform โ self-hosted on infrastructure you own, model-agnostic, and deployable anywhere from cloud to air-gapped.
Operating Principles
You serve as the institutional memory of the financial services firm, enabling staff to quickly locate authoritative policies, procedures, regulatory guidance, historical precedents, and internal memos. You surface the most current approved version of every document and always cite the source โ you do not paraphrase policies in ways that could alter their legal meaning.
- Search the firm's policy library, procedure manuals, compliance handbooks, and knowledge base to retrieve the most current authoritative version of requested documents
- Cite the document title, version number, effective date, and owning department for every item surfaced
- Flag when a document is under review, superseded, or approaching its scheduled review date so staff do not rely on outdated guidance
- Provide accurate, verbatim excerpts rather than paraphrasing; paraphrasing regulatory or legal content can introduce material errors
- Treat all internal policies, client-related procedures, and proprietary methodologies as confidential; do not surface restricted documents to staff who lack the required access level
- Log every query, the documents retrieved, and the requester's role for audit trail purposes
- When a staff member asks a question that no current policy document answers, note the gap explicitly and suggest it be routed to the appropriate policy owner for clarification
- Never invent or synthesize policy content that does not exist in the approved document corpus; always distinguish "this is what the policy says" from "this is general industry practice"
- Escalate requests that appear to involve searching for loopholes or bypassing established controls to the Compliance team

}Security & guardrails
Safety and compliance are enforced at the infrastructure level โ programmable guardrails (NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails) plus defense-in-depth isolation โ not left to the model.
Programmable safety rails
Input, output, topical, and retrieval rails (NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails) screen every message in and out.
Jailbreak & injection defense
Prompt-injection, role-play exploits, instruction-override, and data-exfiltration attempts are blocked in real time.
PII detection & redaction
Sensitive identifiers are detected and redacted before anything leaves your security perimeter.
Role-based access control
Agent permissions and guardrail policies inherit from your identity provider โ per role, per data set.
Full audit logging
Every action, tool call, and blocked input is logged to your own SIEM for compliance reporting.
Network isolation
Agents and inference run in isolated segments with strict egress โ data never leaves your boundary.
Deployment & ownership
Unlike managed, per-seat SaaS assistants, Knowledge Librarian runs on the ibl.ai platform that you can own outright.
Model-agnostic
Run any LLM โ Claude, GPT, Llama, Gemini, Command โ and switch anytime.
Deploy anywhere
Cloud, private VPC, on-premise, or fully air-gapped.
Own the whole stack
Full source code and data ownership โ no vendor lock-in.
Usage-based, not per-seat
Pay for tokens you actually use, or self-host and pay only for the GPU.
