What is KEY AI?
KEY AI is KEY ESG's AI analysis agent. It brings together everything an organisation has stored in the KEY ESG platform and analyses it in natural language, so teams can move from collected data to decisions in one place. KEY AI reads all of the information held in the platform, both quantitative and qualitative.
This includes the evidence uploaded against each data point, the policies and action plans recorded, and the targets being measured against. It works at the level of granularity at which the data was entered, so a metric can be analysed for the whole organisation or traced down to a single entity, site or country.
What analysis can KEY AI perform?
KEY AI supports the analysis of all the sustainability data stored in the KEY ESG platform. This covers environmental, social and governance metrics, whether quantitative or qualitative: emissions, energy and waste alongside workforce, health and safety, and diversity data, as well as policies, governance structures and action plans. Bringing all of this into one place lets teams see each data point in context and interrogate it in as much detail as they need.
Teams use KEY AI to:
-Validate data. Review submissions, test them against prior periods, and identify potential errors before sign-off.
-Analyse trends. Track performance over time, across entities and against targets, for any metric in the platform.
-Identify data gaps. See where data, evidence or policies are missing before they affect a report or a stakeholder request.
-Generate insights and suggestions. Understand what is driving performance, where risks sit and which actions are likely to have the most impact.
How does KEY AI work?
Teams work with KEY AI by prompting it with questions and instructions, and building on each answer with follow-up prompts, in the same way they would work through an analysis with a colleague.For each prompt, KEY AI retrieves and reads the relevant data in the platform, including the evidence and context attached to it. Its answers are grounded in ESG expertise, as KEY AI draws on the ESG context from KEY ESG's large sustainability database.
It understands the frameworks, metrics and terminology sustainability teams work with, so they do not need to be explained first.A single session can move from a broad question to a detailed analysis. For example, a sustainability lead might start by asking for an overview of performance against all of the organisation's targets. They could then ask KEY AI to explain why employee turnover has risen at two entities, check whether the supporting evidence for the health and safety data is complete, and finally suggest priorities for next year's action plan.
How does KEY AI compare with spreadsheets or general AI tools?
KEY AI analyses ESG data where it is stored, while spreadsheets and general AI tools require the data to be exported first. Exporting removes the structure, context and evidence attached to each figure, takes time to repeat every reporting period, and raises a data security question each time. Because KEY AI works inside the platform with the full context a team has built up, every analysis is grounded in the same validated data the organisation reports from.
Frequently asked questions
What is KEY AI?
KEY AI is the AI analysis agent in the KEY ESG platform. It analyses an organisation's ESG data, evidence, targets and action plans in natural language.
What data can KEY AI analyse?
KEY AI can analyse all of the data stored in the KEY ESG platform. This includes environmental, social and governance metrics, qualitative information such as policies and action plans, and the evidence uploaded against each data point.
Does KEY AI only use my organisation's data?
Yes. KEY AI analyses the data, evidence and context your organisation has stored in the KEY ESG platform.
Can AI be switched off?
Yes. AI can be switched off per account, and every workflow in the KEY ESG platform works without it.
How does KEY AI relate to the KEY ESG MCP connector?
They are two ways into the same data. KEY AI works inside the platform. The KEY ESG MCP connector, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), brings KEY ESG data into enterprise AI tools such as Claude so it can be combined with other business data.
