FAQs

Here's some answers to common questions we get.

What is Nolia and how does it help my organisation?
Nolia is an AI-powered tool that transforms procurement and funding processes across three phases: Create & Validate (documentation), Applicant Assist (application assistance), and Assess & Compare (response evaluation). It reduces processing time from days to seconds while ensuring completely objective, consistent reviews.
Is my data secure with Nolia?
Absolutely. Nolia operates on isolated private instances accessible only to your organisation. We never use your data to train models or share it externally. All processing occurs within your secure boundaries with enterprise-grade encryption and zero data sharing.
Does Nolia offer different modules for different needs?
Yes. Nolia Create & Validate helps teams generate consistent documentation. Nolia Application Assistant aides with better submissions. Nolia Assess & Compare evaluates applications against your criteria. You can implement any combination based on your specific needs and processes.
How quickly can Nolia be implemented?
Implementation follows a simple three-step process: identify requirements, configure and calibrate your Nolia instance, then start processing. Setup is fast with minimal IT overhead, whether cloud-hosted or deployed on your own servers.
How is Nolia different from generic AI tools?
Nolia is specifically designed for procurement and funding applications, using LLMs and RAG architecture. Because it's locked down to your specific criteria and documentation, it doesn't hallucinate from public sources and performs better than generic AI tools.
What kind of results can we expect?
Organisations see processing time reduced from days to literal seconds, significant cost savings, and teams freed up for high-impact work. Nolia ensures completely objective evaluation while your team maintains full control over final decisions and strategic direction.
