LUMA has launched a security-first artificial intelligence platform targeting organizations where speed, precision, and control directly impact revenue and risk management. The announcement comes amid growing concerns about "Shadow AI"—the unauthorized use of AI tools by employees—with recent studies indicating that 90% of workers use AI on the job, often through ungoverned channels.
The platform, developed by RocketDocs, addresses two primary enterprise challenges: establishing trust in AI systems with sensitive information and demonstrating clear return on investment. Unlike broad, open-ended AI tools, LUMA functions as a vertical application provider that transforms an organization's internal knowledge library into a governed execution engine. This approach ensures teams can securely find and synthesize complex information without compromising security policies.
"With LUMA, we are addressing whether AI can be trusted with sensitive information and whether it can deliver real business ROI," said Perry Robinson, Chairman & CEO of RocketDocs. "LUMA is built to do both."
The platform's architecture centers on keeping response workflows and sensitive collaboration within a single governed system, reducing coordination inefficiencies while improving consistency across teams. Key features include authorized knowledge grounding that limits AI activity to company-approved sources rather than the open internet, specialized vertical AI applications like an AI Solutions Engineer and AI RFP Manager for sales proposal preparation, and hierarchical prioritization that ensures the most relevant knowledge base content is applied first in generative AI processes.
Enterprise-grade governance features include permission-aware content access, controlled knowledge scope, administrative oversight, and workflow accountability. These controls are particularly significant for highly regulated industries where data security and compliance are paramount.
While originating from RocketDocs' expertise in strategic response management and proposal software, LUMA operates as a standalone AI platform designed to help teams work more effectively while maintaining trustworthy operations. The company's roadmap includes rapid expansion into vertical applications for customer success and human resources teams, covering use cases from account planning to employee onboarding and policy guidance.
The platform's availability addresses a critical gap in enterprise AI adoption, where the productivity benefits of AI tools often conflict with security requirements. By providing a governed alternative to shadow AI tools, organizations can accelerate high-stakes revenue pursuits—such as proposal development and RFx questionnaire responses—without compromising data security or regulatory compliance.
