What is Celonis?
Celonis is an Enterprise AI platform that helps businesses make smarter decisions by giving AI the real-world context it needs to work effectively. Unlike generic AI tools, Celonis connects directly to your company’s actual processes—like order fulfillment, invoicing, or supply chain logistics—so AI can understand how things really operate before suggesting changes.
The secret sauce? The Celonis Context Model, which combines live process data, business rules, and historical insights. This means your AI agents, employees, and systems can finally work together seamlessly to fix bottlenecks, cut costs, and speed up operations—without guesswork.
What are the features of Celonis?

- Cross-Function Solutions: Tailored tools for Finance, Supply Chain, IT Modernization, Customer Experience, and more—all built on the same intelligent foundation.
- Simulation & Prediction: Run “what-if” scenarios to test changes before rolling them out, reducing risk and boosting confidence in decisions.
- Seamless Integration: Works with existing tech stacks and AI models (including Microsoft AI) to embed intelligence where it’s needed most.
