Private AI on your own server

The "ask the data" panel above is built to run on a GPU server inside your own network: an open-weight model over your own documents, with every answer citing the file it came from. No per-seat licence, works offline, and nothing leaves the building.

How it sits in your environment

One appliance-class server on your rack or in a secured closet. Your files are indexed where they already live; the model runs locally; answers come back with the source page attached.

What that means in practice

1
Your data only, on your hardwareAn open model over your own documents and exports. No third-party AI processor, no data-transfer agreement to review.
2
Every answer cites its sourceReplies point to the file and page they were drawn from, so people check the answer instead of trusting it blind.
3
No per-seat licenceThe whole team can ask questions. Cost is the server and our build, not a monthly number that grows with headcount.
4
Works offlineIf the internet connection goes down, the answers still come. Nothing depends on a vendor's uptime or pricing changes.
