AI-Powered Input Fields, Regulatory Databases & Async Automations

Syncontrol receives its largest feature update of the year, bringing AI-powered assistance directly into input fields, comprehensive EU regulatory database integration, and a robust async automation system.

Why This Matters

Regulatory compliance in the EU requires access to up-to-date legal documents and safety alerts across thousands of records. Manual searches are time-consuming and error-prone. Meanwhile, users need intelligent assistance right where they work, not in separate tools.

AI Input Assistant

Intelligent Field Assistance

The new AI Input Assistant adds configurable AI-powered functionality directly to input fields throughout the platform. Users can select from pre-configured prompts that process field data along with optional file attachments.

  • Chat-like conversational interface
  • File processing with OCR via Azure Computer Vision
  • Support for PDF, DOC, DOCX, and image formats
  • Template variable substitution for context-aware responses
  • Access control matrix for prompt sharing across roles

Template Builder Integration

AI assistance is now available in the mobile template builder for:

  • Field label generation
  • Validation rule suggestions
  • Help text creation
  • Placeholder generation

The platform now integrates the CELEX database, providing access to EU regulations, directives, decisions, and other legal documents with full semantic search capabilities.

  • Hierarchical document structure: Articles, recitals, annexes, and preambles
  • Multi-language support: Access documents in all official EU languages
  • Vector search: Find relevant legal sections by meaning, not just keywords
  • EuroVoc taxonomy: AI-guided retrieval using EU thesaurus concepts

Key Features

  • 10+ database tables for structured legal document storage
  • Direct links to EUR-Lex for official document access
  • XML source viewer with syntax highlighting

RAPEX Database: Product Safety Alerts

EU Safety Gate Integration

RAPEX (Rapid Alert System for Dangerous Non-Food Products) alerts are now searchable within Syncontrol, enabling quick access to product safety information across the EU.

  • 34 OECD product categories: From toys to automotive to healthcare
  • Risk level filtering: Serious risk, other risk levels, other alert types
  • Counterfeit tracking: Identify counterfeit product alerts
  • Country filtering: Search by origin country or submitting member state

Find similar product alerts and identify risk patterns using vector similarity search. The system understands product descriptions, risk types, and technical defects to surface relevant alerts.

Async Automations & Actor System

Background Processing

Long-running automation tasks now execute asynchronously via queues, preventing timeout issues and improving user experience.

  • Queue-based execution with configurable retry logic
  • Progress tracking and error notifications
  • Support for user-triggered, scheduled, and API-initiated automations

Technical Highlights

  • Multi-provider AI: Azure OpenAI, OpenAI GPT-4, and Anthropic Claude support
  • Qdrant vector search: 1536-dimension embeddings for semantic search
  • Shared database pattern: CELEX and RAPEX accessible across all tenants
  • 15+ new AI tools: Specialized tools for legal document and safety alert queries

Real-World Benefits

  • Faster regulatory research with semantic search across legal documents
  • Proactive product safety monitoring through RAPEX integration
  • Reduced manual data entry with AI-assisted input fields
  • Reliable background processing for complex automation workflows
  • Complete audit trails with unified actor identity tracking

These features are available now. Explore the regulatory databases through the platform’s search interfaces, or configure AI Input prompts for your most common data entry tasks.
