Deloitte’s Edisyl Packs Company And Expert Knowledge For AI Tools

Deloitte introduced Edisyl on November 12, 2026, as a Boston-based enterprise AI venture built around Knowledge Packs that combine domain expertise with proprietary company information. It emerged from Deloitte’s July 2026 acquisition of Flipside Crypto’s AI business, whose entire 24-person operating team joined the new company.

Edisyl is aimed at organizations that already run AI assistants and agents but need business-specific context for specialized work. It sits within D71 Ventures, Deloitte’s portfolio for AI-native businesses, which supplies staged funding and hands-on company-building support alongside Deloitte’s industry reach to create standalone ventures.

Two Knowledge Sources in One Pack

The product has two components. Practicing experts annotate the Domain Pack, a curated collection of field-specific material that Edisyl updates on an ongoing basis. The Proprietary Pack contains an organization’s own terminology, definitions, policies and data, which remain under its control. Deloitte says the combination lets existing AI systems handle business-specific questions with supporting sources and professional judgment.

Edisyl’s product site says the external component can draw on partner and market data, government and regulatory material, and standards and codes. It uses agent fleets to assemble and update those resources, with subject-matter experts directing their work. Under both components, a semantic layer maps the terminology in company systems to the words employees use.

Customer-Owned Deployment Across AI Tools

Edisyl says customers can install a Knowledge Pack in their own cloud or on their premises and use it with Claude, Codex, Gemini and Copilot. Both halves are constructed and installed as a unit, with ownership retained by the customer.

Portability is intended to let the pack move between AI systems rather than require a fresh build for each tool. The goal is a knowledge layer that outlives the model underneath it, with context managed as an asset that has owners, versions and ongoing maintenance costs.

The first packs are still in development with design partners and named domain experts, including Deloitte programs and Fortune 500 organizations across industries. That places the initial product work with organizations participating in the development of field-specific knowledge bases.

Leadership and the Separate Crypto-Data Sale

Dave Balter, previously Flipside’s chief executive, continues as an Edisyl co-founder. His leadership team includes Kyle Fugere as chief operating officer, Jim Myers as chief technology officer, Andrew “Mo” Septimus as chief financial officer, Eric Stone as chief data scientist and Gabriela Serret-Campos as senior vice president of People Success.

The transaction did not include Flipside’s crypto-data business, which Sonaverse Inc. bought separately. Deloitte says Balter’s earlier ventures include BzzAgent and Smarterer, acquired by dunnhumby and Pluralsight, respectively, among the eight companies he has founded. He subsequently led mergers and acquisitions at both acquirers.

Balter tied the product to expertise that sits outside conventional corporate data: “What AI tools can’t access is the judgment of the person who has worked a specific problem for 20 years. That’s what we set out to package, and it’s why the annotation layer matters just as much as, if not more than, the interface.”

The design-partner work now connects the acquisition to the product strategy: Edisyl’s central task is to maintain expert annotation and customer-owned context as a reusable enterprise asset while the AI systems around it change.
