Company & trust

What is d8n.ai and who is behind it?

d8n.ai is an AI-native business operating system built by Documentolog. Documentolog has operated since 2007 and is a leading electronic document management platform in Kazakhstan. d8n.ai is its next-generation flagship: documents, processes, mail, calendar, disk, messenger and AI agents in one governed environment — "d8n.ai by Documentolog".

Why can we trust you?

The platform is backed by 19 years of work, around 150,000 companies on Documentolog Business and around 1,000,000 ecosystem users. Customers include government bodies, banks and major Kazakhstani companies. The platform holds a state information-security certification and undergoes regular external audits.

What security certification does the platform have?

The platform is certified to ST RK ISO/IEC 15408-3-2017 at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4). The certificate is registered in the state technical-regulation registry of Kazakhstan and is valid until 26 May 2029. This enables use in banks, the financial sector, the quasi-public sector and critical-infrastructure facilities.

Who already uses Documentolog solutions?

Government bodies, banks (including a strategic partnership with Halyk Bank), national companies, universities, healthcare and industrial organisations. A specific list and case studies are available on request and on the company page. Exact deployment figures are verified before each publication.

Platform & product

How is d8n.ai different from a regular AI chat?

An AI chat sits beside your work and answers questions. d8n.ai sits inside your work and gets it done: agents act in your real processes — with documents, approvals and decisions — under human control and with full audit. It’s the difference between an assistant that talks and one that runs the work.

What are d8n.ai AI agents?

Role-specialised assistants built into the platform itself. They can be called at any step of any process — they understand the platform’s logic, data and tools and are tightly bound to them: they work through the same permissions, documents and actions as your employees. That binding is what gives accuracy — an agent doesn’t "make things up", it performs real platform operations (register, approve, sign, search, create a task) under human control and with audit.

Which business processes can we build and automate in d8n?

Almost any. d8n is a process builder: you describe steps, roles, rules and documents without coding and automate them — from contracts, HR and finance to meetings, internal regulations and industry-specific scenarios. Built-in AI agents work on top of every process. Pre-built ready solutions are available from day one too.

Our employees already use Claude or ChatGPT — how do we connect them to d8n?

d8n is not tied to a single model. You can connect leading external models (including Claude and ChatGPT) or a private local model — employees keep working with familiar AI, but now inside d8n’s governed context: with your documents, permissions and processes, not in a separate window without context. The familiar chat turns from an "advisor on the side" into an assistant that sees your real work and acts in it.

We have our own AI agents — can they integrate?

Yes. External agents and tools connect to d8n through an open API and the MCP protocol. That said, d8n’s built-in agents have an advantage: they are part of the platform and see its logic, data and permissions, so they work more accurately and under full audit. Typically external agents are connected for specific tasks, while d8n agents run the core processes.

Do we have to replace our current systems?

No. d8n.ai can be your single environment or connect to what you already have — mail, 1C, SAP, messengers — via integrations. Start with one process and expand gradually.

Is it cloud or can we self-host?

Both: the d8n.ai cloud and private deployment inside your perimeter (on-prem), including a local language model for sovereign scenarios. The choice depends on data-residency requirements and your security policy.

Processes & AI agents

Why formalize processes before adding AI?

An AI agent is only as useful as the process it works in is clear. The logic is simple: first a process is formalized (made explicit — steps, roles, rules, documents), then automated (the system runs it through routes and deadlines), and only then can an AI agent act in it with maximum value — it sees the context, permissions and history and works by the rules instead of guessing. That’s why d8n builds AI on top of real, formalized processes, not beside the work.

What does a "formalized process" mean?

It is work with an explicit structure: what the steps are, who is responsible, what rules approvals follow, which documents are created and where the history is kept. An informal process lives in email and people’s heads; a formalized one lives in a system where every step is traceable — and that is exactly the structure an AI agent can understand.

Why does this matter more than "just adding AI"?

AI plugged into chaos produces plausible but unreliable results — it has nothing solid to stand on. When a process is formalized and automated, the agent has verifiable context: roles, permissions, documents, deadlines and audit. Automation becomes governed, and the agent’s answers become grounded and repeatable.

Documents & legal validity

What is electronic document management, in plain terms?

It is formalized correspondence and document work where the full history is preserved: who sent, approved and signed what, and when. Think of it as "mail with memory and rules" — instead of scattered emails and files, you get one traceable system of record with routes, deadlines and audit. This is exactly the foundation AI agents need to work on top of.

Does an electronic document have legal force?

Yes. An electronic document signed with an electronic digital signature is legally equivalent to a paper one with a handwritten signature under Kazakhstani law on electronic documents and digital signatures. Signed documents are stored with time stamps and a verifiable signature.

How can documents be signed?

Supported methods include the national digital signature, signing via QR in eGov mobile, and Adobe Sign and others for specific scenarios. Allowed signature types can be configured per process.

Can we sign with foreign companies and non-residents?

Yes. Recognition of foreign electronic signatures and use of a simple electronic signature with non-residents are provided for under Kazakhstani law. Legally significant cross-border exchange is available, including with Russia via the Kontur.Diadoc integration.

How do we verify a signed document?

Every signed document has a verifiable identifier and electronic signature. Authenticity can be confirmed with standard signature-verification tools — no need to take it on trust.

HR processes

How do we start moving HR documents to electronic form?

Begin with the most frequent HR documents — hiring, transfers, leave, business trips — and enable electronic signatures for employees. Processes then extend to the full hire-to-exit cycle. The platform walks you through the steps and connects the integrations you need.

Do we need to submit employment contracts to a government system?

Yes — registering employment-contract data in the state accounting system (Enbek.kz) is required by Kazakhstani law. The platform integrates with it and submits data automatically, helping meet the statutory deadlines.

How much faster do HR processes become?

HR operations that used to take days run in minutes — arranging leave drops to a few minutes and onboarding to a single day instead of several. The exact effect depends on your processes.

Can we run recruiting in the system?

Yes. You can publish vacancies, work with applicants and use selection tools; AI helps draft vacancy texts and test assignments. Recruiting is connected to HR processes in one environment.

Finance & accounting

Which financial documents can be electronic?

Contracts, acts of completed work, invoices, budgets, audit documents and counterparty checks. AI helps recognise and fill in documents, cutting manual work and errors.

Are electronic invoices and acts of completed work legally valid?

Yes. The electronic invoice is issued and signed with an electronic signature in the state system (the Ministry of Finance e-invoicing system); the electronic act of completed work is legally valid under Kazakhstani accounting and electronic-document law.

Is there integration with accounting systems?

Yes — with 1C (including "1C:Accounting for Kazakhstan"), SAP and the state e-invoicing system. Documents can be signed and sent with an electronic signature from a familiar interface.

How are payment limits and exceptions controlled?

Payment requests route by amount to the right approver on a maker-checker basis; threshold breaches and missing documents are flagged before approval, all under audit.

Security & sovereignty

How protected is our data?

Security is built on three layers — infrastructure, software and the human factor. The platform holds a state EAL 4 certification (ST RK ISO/IEC 15408), runs in Tier III data centres, and uses encryption, mandatory two-factor authentication and access control.

Does the platform undergo external security testing?

Yes. Beyond state certification, independent audits and penetration tests are performed (including grey-box and black-box). Findings are remediated.

Can we keep data and AI inside our own perimeter?

Yes. Private deployment with a local language model is available so data and AI work never leave your perimeter. This is a key scenario for the public and financial sectors and for data-residency requirements.

Where is data physically stored?

Depending on the scenario — in the d8n.ai cloud or your own infrastructure. For sovereign regions, data is hosted on national infrastructure per localisation rules; for other countries, in the cloud. The exact configuration is agreed to your requirements.

Integrations

What does d8n.ai integrate with?

With 1C, SAP, Bitrix24, government systems (e-invoicing, employment-contract accounting, exchange with government bodies, eGov), and — via an open API — with your internal tools.

How does the 1C integration work?

Documents (delivery notes, acts of completed work, reconciliation acts) can be signed with an electronic signature and sent to counterparties directly from 1C — in one window, without switching systems.

Can we exchange documents with government bodies?

Yes. Exchange with government bodies is supported through the unified government document management system and government services.

Is cross-border document exchange supported?

Yes. Legally significant cross-border exchange is available, including with Russia via the Kontur.Diadoc integration: each party signs with its own country’s electronic signature, and recognition is ensured through a trusted third party.
