About Automated Governance Systems

Automated Governance Systems Ltd is the United Kingdom company behind the ALFI + EDIE Framework. We build hyper-personalised AI assistants for education, business and public services, with governance, accessibility and safeguarding designed in from the first line rather than added after launch.

What AGS does

The framework is built around two assistants that work as a pair. ALFI is the strategist: structure, reasoning and decision support. EDIE is the empath: tone, wellbeing and companionship. HELIX combines the two for governance work, SAMU supports GCSE study, and TRAC handles revision planning and recall.

Everything sits on one method, applied the same way whether the user is a Year 10 student or a board director. Read it in full on the framework page.

  1. Stage 1

    Codify

    Turn what you know into structure

    We capture the knowledge, policies and processes that already live in people's heads and turn them into structured, reusable instructions an assistant can follow — so nothing depends on one person remembering it.

  2. Stage 2

    Personalise

    Adapt to the person in front of you

    ALFI reasons and plans while EDIE reads tone and context, so the same codified knowledge lands differently for a Year 10 student, a support worker and a board director — hyper-personalised without rewriting the source.

  3. Stage 3

    Govern

    Prove it stayed safe

    Safeguarding checks, consent-driven memory, decision logs and audit trails run on every turn, mapped to UK GDPR and the UK's cross-sector AI principles — so responsible AI is evidenced, not asserted.
