GFI Software has integrated the Eloquens AI assistant directly into its KerioConnect mail and collaboration server. The tool is now available to users running software version 10.0.9-10757 or later.
Why it matters
The integration provides organizations with automated email triage while maintaining data residency within their own controlled server infrastructure. This allows firms to adopt AI-driven productivity tools without migrating sensitive communications to third-party cloud environments.
The feature requires GFI KerioConnect version 10.0.9-10757 or later to function. Eloquens AI, which debuted in 2024, processes incoming messages within minutes to categorize them into either the inbox or a No Reply Needed folder.
