RikoAI: An agentic system for complex technology projects

International technology projects bring together legal, technical and commercial requirements across thousands of pages of documentation. RikoAI, which Sunesis is developing for RIKO, is therefore designed as a team of specialised AI agents that helps RIKO's experts manage these complex challenges.

A multi-agent system

RikoAI operates as a multi-agent system. Users describe their task in natural language and attach the relevant documents (for example: "Prepare a tender overview with risks for an internal meeting."). The main agent, or orchestrator, then creates a plan, selects the appropriate skills and distributes the work among specialised agents that carry out tasks in parallel.

The solution includes the following key agents:

• Legal agent: reviews contractual provisions, including compliance with FIDIC standards, drawing on the Lexoris legal knowledge base.
• Commercial agent: compares bids and evaluates their financial implications.
• Project agent: checks deadlines, obligations and their impact on the project timeline.
• Research agent: finds and analyses sources within internal documents and on the web.

The agents continuously exchange context. For example, when the legal agent detects a risky clause, the commercial agent immediately assesses its financial impact, while the project agent checks the potential consequences for the timeline.

How RikoAI works: the orchestrator plans, agents independently complete individual steps using tools, and the final decision always rests with an expert.

Ready-to-use deliverables

RikoAI does more than provide a text response in a chat window. Through automated code execution, the agents independently produce:

• documents and business correspondence in Word format, in multiple languages and with RIKO's official letterhead;
• presentations aligned with the company's visual identity;
• Excel files with verified formulas and charts.

For greater reliability, every statement clearly cites its source, whether an internal document or a website.

Full transparency under human oversight

The system's operation is fully transparent. Users can follow exactly how an agent arrived at a result: they can see the entire plan, each individual step and the time spent.

• The system runs in RIKO's secure, closed environment, with users signing in through Entra ID.
• Agents operate solely within the permissions and access rights of the user who started them.
• The system draws on RIKO's knowledge base, with all data securely stored locally.
• Final judgement and approval of results always remain with an expert.

Results in practice

RikoAI is already in full production use. According to RIKO, more than 70% of its employees in Slovenia and Croatia use it regularly. Time savings are substantial, exceeding 500 working hours per month, while individual analytical steps can be completed up to ten times faster. A network of internal AI ambassadors, who share their knowledge and experience with colleagues, is an important part of the successful rollout.

AI of the Year 2026 award winner

We are extremely proud that RikoAI received the prestigious AI of the Year 2026 (UI leta 2026) award, presented by the CIO leta programme council at the conference of the same name at Brdo pri Kranju. This award confirms that agentic systems are no longer merely a technology experiment, but a mature tool delivering concrete, measurable results for Slovenian businesses.
