What makes it different
  • Only AI agent workspace that keeps complete history and requires human approval before changes enter canonical data
  • Unified workspace where agents and people access the same data, avoiding scattered chat logs
  • Completely self-hosted and private on your own hardware with full control over data
  • Works with any agent that calls REST API - no lock-in to specific model or platform
  • Rejects never enter canonical data - all decisions remain attached for auditability
  • Reaches answers across unrelated documents that share no keywords, where vector search scores zero
  • Deterministic retrieval with no model in the path, so results never vary between queries
  • Constant per-query cost regardless of memory size, even at 32,000 words
  • No infrastructure to run—no vector database, cluster, or GPU needed
  • Works with any model, so small local models gain the most from better retrieval
