Byron unifies Northern Trust's digital coworkers, business-unit agents, mini-apps, and the GAI data fabric into a single context-aware, permission-driven, model-agnostic workspace. Built for regulated financial services. Live today.
01 · What is Byron@NT
ARTY, FARA, LARA, and CORA — named coworkers Northern Trust partners already know, now reachable in chat, embedded in workflows, and orchestrated across systems.
Wealth Management, Asset Management, Asset Servicing, C&IS, Risk, COO, and HR agents — each scoped to their data, tools, and personas.
Purpose-built micro-apps for fund accounting NAV review, ARB submission, KYC, regulatory digests, review books, and more — invoked directly or routed from chat.
Byron detects intent in chat and routes to the right agent or mini-app. ASTAC agents built on Copilot Studio are federated through the same surface.
Grounded retrieval over Northern Trust's governed Snowflake data products, SharePoint, Aladdin, GFAS, and Salesforce FSC — with permissions enforced at every layer.
Bring your own model. Claude 4.6, GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5, and NT-hosted Llama — selectable per workspace, per agent, per conversation.
02 · How it ties together
Layered architecture
Byron runs on top of Northern Trust's GAI platform — identity is Entra ID + Okta SSO, secrets land in GAI Vault, every call is observable in the GAI telemetry stack, and every agent is evaluated through the shared eval harness.
Agents authored in Microsoft Copilot Studio (the ASTAC program) are exposed as first-class Byron agents through the ASTAC Bridge — same chat surface, same audit log, same governance.
