For firms whose expertise sits in their own files

Private AI that knows
how your firm works

Not a chatbot. Grounded in your firm’s documents, systems and decisions, inside your permissions, with a record of everything it does.

For firms of 15–150 staff in Australia and Singapore whose value sits in the work they have already done.

Your team is already using AI

Just not safely, and not on your data. Every document pasted into a public tool is a confidentiality question you'd rather not have to answer.

Generic AI doesn't know your business

It hasn't read your files, your history, or the way your senior people actually work, so it produces plausible work you can't rely on.

The tools you've been sold are shallow

A feature bolted onto software you already pay for, trained on everyone's data but yours, priced per seat forever.

Three things, and nothing else

What makes this different

We own the whole stack: the data pipeline, the approval and audit layer, and the deployment. That’s why we can answer the questions other vendors deflect.

01

It knows your business

We start with your files: the shared drives, the system of record, the decade of work nobody can find. We clean it, structure it, and model it as the things your firm actually deals in (clients, matters, projects, decisions), so it can answer what position did we take and why, rather than returning nine documents that contain the phrase. Permissions are mirrored throughout: if someone can’t open a file today, the co-pilot won’t surface it to them tomorrow.

02

It can’t go rogue

Every action is gated by an approval tier you set, and written to a signed, tamper-evident log. You can show a client, an insurer or a regulator exactly what happened, when, and who approved it. Most AI vendors can’t do this. It’s the reason we exist.

03

It runs where you say

On-premise, or private cloud in your region. We scope the right deployment during the audit and put the data flow in writing before you commit. Your data is never used to train anyone else’s model, and the monthly cost is fixed within your deployment tier, so finance can plan.

One question, start to finish

What using it actually looks like

An illustrative exchange, not a client’s. The shape is the point: a question in your own words, an answer that cites the files it came from, an honest gap where the files don’t support one, and a record you can hand to someone else.

asked · 09:14 · partner, on their own matter
permissions: the asker’s own

“What position did we take for this client in 2019, and why?”

answer · grounded

In March 2019 the firm advised against the restructure, on the basis of the financing covenant in the client’s facility agreement. The reasoning is set out in the file note from the same week, and the position was reaffirmed at the November review. No later document on file departs from it.

On your second question, about the 2021 amendment: there is nothing on file that supports an answer. Rather than guess, it says so.

Reading and answering needs no approval. Anything that leaves the firm does.

Exportable, and readable by someone who has never seen the system.

Built from the shape of the questions firms actually ask us about, not from any client’s files. Yours would run against your own corpus, in your own house style.

From messy drives to working co-pilot

Twelve weeks, five steps. You’ll know what’s happening at every one of them.

  1. 01 · WEEKS 1–3

    Audit

    We map your data, rank the use cases and quote a fixed price. You own the report either way.

  2. 02 · WEEKS 4–6

    Prepare

    The unglamorous part, and the reason most AI projects fail. We clean, de-duplicate and structure your documents.

  3. 03 · WEEKS 7–11

    Build

    One workflow, done properly. Retrieval over your corpus, permissions mirrored, tuned to your house style.

  4. 04 · WEEK 12

    Prove

    We test against real work your team has already done, and show you the accuracy numbers before anyone relies on it.

  5. 05 · ONGOING

    Run

    We host it, monitor it, keep it current, and add workflows as you find them.

Worth saying out loud

Somewhere between 60% and 70% of this work is data preparation: duplicated files, three versions of the same document, scanned PDFs nobody ever extracted text from, folder structures that made sense to someone who left in 2019. It’s the work that decides whether the co-pilot is useful, and the work most vendors skip because it doesn’t demo well. We do it first, and we tell you what we found.

Why not just buy more seats?

Per-seat AI tools look cheap until you multiply them. At $50–500 per user per month the bill grows every time you hire, and you’re paying it forever for something that still hasn’t read your files.

A private co-pilot is a build cost and a flat monthly fee within your deployment tier. Tiers step with corpus size and workload, never per user, so it doesn’t get more expensive as the team grows, the improvements accrue to you rather than to a vendor’s other customers, and the asset (your prepared, structured corpus) is yours to keep.

Somewhere around 30–40 users, the maths stops being close.

Five questions

Would this actually work here?

We’d rather you found out in thirty seconds than after a sales call. Nothing is sent anywhere; this runs in your browser.

  • 01
    A confidentiality or regulatory obligation rules out public AI tools for our real work.
  • 02
    We have years of documents that are genuinely an asset, not just storage.
  • 03
    Expensive expert time goes on finding, summarising and drafting.
  • 04
    We have 15–150 staff and already buy professional services at A$50k+.
  • 05
    We have systems of record we are not going to replace.

Answer honestly. A no is more useful to both of us than a maybe.

Who this works for

The problem is the same everywhere: decades of knowledge sitting in documents, expensive people spending their day looking for it, and confidentiality obligations that rule out the tools everyone else uses.

Accounting & advisory

Working papers, client history, compliance

Wealth management

Client history, mandates, suitability and review files

Law firms

Precedent retrieval, matter summarisation, drafting

Insurance & claims

Policy interpretation, claims history, assessment

Engineering & architecture

Standards, past projects, specifications

Not on the list? The test is simple: if your work product lives in documents, your data can’t go into a public tool, and your senior people spend their days searching, then it fits. Ask us.

We’re probably not the right fit if you have under 10 staff, no real document history, you want a demo this week, or what you need is everyday productivity: email, meeting notes, ordinary document editing. The AI in your existing subscription does that well. Come to us for the work it can’t touch.

Start with the audit

Three weeks. A$12,000, fixed. You get a data map, three ranked use cases with the hours and dollars attached, a security architecture your IT provider can review, and a fixed-price quote for the build.

The ranked use cases are the point: estimated hours saved and dollar impact, scored against effort and risk, so what you are holding at the end is a business case rather than a workshop summary.

No obligation to proceed. If you do proceed within 90 days, the full audit fee comes off the build.

No. Not ours, not anyone else’s. It’s in the contract.
