London – September 21, 2026 -- askelie has launched its Operational AI Platform, giving managed service providers (MSPs), software vendors and business users direct access to the AI capabilities previously reserved for its enterprise deployments.
Platform lets customers configure AI tools instead of building them from scratch
The Operational AI Platform allows organisations to combine existing, reusable askelie capabilities to create AI-powered Assistants and Automations tailored to specific business needs. Askelie says the approach cuts the time, cost and risk typically associated with building an AI foundation internally.
Structure centers on four functions: Understand, Decide, Act, Control
The platform integrates AI intelligence, data, knowledge, workflows, enterprise integrations, security and governance around this four-part framework. Askelie positions it as the base layer for more advanced AI applications it plans to support, including Digital Workers and Autonomous Applications.
CEO Derek Kilroe says years of enterprise use now open to partners
"We've spent years using askelie to rapidly deliver enterprise-grade AI solutions. What we're doing now is opening that capability up," said Derek Kilroe, CEO and Founder of askelie. He said MSPs, software vendors and business users can now configure and compose their own AI solutions for real business operations without building the underlying AI platform themselves.
Chief Product Officer frames platform as alternative to stack assembly
Ian Halliday-Pegg, Chief Product Officer at askelie, said customers should not have to assemble an AI technology stack before addressing a business problem. He said the platform brings together the capabilities needed for operational AI so they can be combined and reused across different use cases.
Consumption-based pricing and model choice aim to control deployment costs
Askelie describes the platform as built for practicality, affordability and trust. Proven, reusable capabilities are designed to reduce the need to build enterprise AI infrastructure from the ground up, while model choice and consumption-based pricing target cost control. Security, governance, human oversight and auditability are built into the platform architecture.
MSPs and software vendors gain reuse and extension options
The platform enables MSPs to configure and reuse AI-powered services across multiple customer accounts. Software vendors can extend existing products, enhance them with external data and context, and configure new AI-powered capabilities on top of their current offerings.
The askelie Operational AI Platform became available on 21 September 2026.
