Your own AI operating system
An AI built around your business. It reads your email, knows your files and does the work. Anything important waits for your yes.
We design it, build it and can run it for you. Your model, your hardware or ours.
How it fits together
You talk to your AI. It works through connectors into your systems. The model and server underneath can be swapped.
What we build for you
Integrations
Email, calendar, files, accounting, CRM, WhatsApp and whatever else you run on.
Skills
The jobs you do every week, taught step by step, your way.
MCP servers
Secure connectors into your systems, with only the permissions you give. MCP is the open standard AI tools use to talk to software.
The server
Yours or ours. Patched, backed up and monitored.
a day
275 a day.Employees are interrupted every two minutes during core work hours by meetings, emails or chats
What your AI does about it:
It reads your email and messages as they arrive, deals with the routine ones, and only interrupts you for the ones that need your yes.

What your AI does about it:
Every Friday it checks who has not paid, sends a friendly reminder to the recent ones and gives you a list of the rest.
Imagine it. Here it is.
Your business, as your AI sees it
Your AI keeps a knowledge graph of your business. Ask which clients have an overdue invoice and an open quote, and watch it walk the links to the answer.
What’s a knowledge graph?
It’s a map of everything your business knows and how it connects: this client signed that contract, owes this invoice, emailed about that quote. Your AI walks the map to answer questions a search box can’t.
How to read it
This is what our knowledge graph looks like.
What would yours look like?
Picture every client, invoice, email and job your business has, joined up and ready to answer.
The names in it are made up. The shape is real.
We build these for you
We connect your email, files and systems, join the records up, and set the map up on hardware you choose. Each answer shows the records it came from, and a person approves anything the AI wants to change.
Example questions this map answers
- Any business: Which clients have an overdue invoice and an open quote? Karoo Cartons. INV-2201 (R48,200) is 21 days overdue, and quote Q-1043 is still open.
- Any business: Who looks after the client whose quote became a live project? Naledi. Lumen Health accepted Q-1050, and it is now the Cold-chain upgrade project.
- Any business: Which signed contract belongs to a client who owes us money? Mokoena Logistics signed the Mokoena MSA and owes R112,400 on INV-2230.
- Law firm: Which matter has a hearing next week and an unpaid invoice? The Bergview lease dispute. The hearing is on 7 October and INV-0918 (R36,500) is unpaid.
- Law firm: Which new contract differs from our standard terms? Supply agreement v3 changes the liability clause. A redline is drafted for Sipho to check.
- Medical practice: Who has an appointment tomorrow and hasn't confirmed? Patient 0412, Tuesday 09:30. A second reminder went out, and the slot is held until noon.
- Medical practice: Which lab result needs a doctor before it is filed? Patient 0688: an HbA1c of 9.4%. It is flagged to Dr Naidoo and not filed.
- Logistics: Which delivery is running late, and who do we warn? Order 7714 is 70 minutes late on the N3. Umhlanga Fresh gets a message with the new time.
- Logistics: Which delivered orders still have no invoice? Order 7702 was delivered and signed for. INV-3307 is drafted for Mokoena Logistics to approve.
- Accounting firm: Which client balance is overdue, and who chases it? Lumen Health owes R27,900 on invoice 5531. Two reminders have gone, so Thandi gets a call task.
- Accounting firm: Which return is due this month and still missing a document? Bergview's VAT return is due on 25 October. One supplier statement is missing, so it is requested.
- Retail: What is about to run out, and is a restock on the way? Rooibos 250g is down to 9 at the Paarl store. PO-8841 from Cederberg Teas lands Thursday, so a transfer covers it.
- Retail: Which customer asked about an order on WhatsApp? Zinhle M. Order 20417 shipped this morning, and the tracking link is already sent.
- Construction: Does this subcontractor invoice match the signed variation? No. INV-774 is R92,000 but Variation 12 was signed at R78,000. Payment is held for a person to check.
- Construction: Is anyone still working from an old drawing revision? Yes. The crew on Riverside Block C used S-204 rev B, but rev D is current. The foreman is warned.
What it can do
Ask your documents or your database, run machines, act before you ask, learn your rules, or work as a whole department.
It searches everything you've ever filed and answers with the page it found it on.
What would yours do?
Tick the tools you use. See what it could take off your plate, then send us the list.
Your AI could:
- Reads every email, answers the routine ones and drafts the rest for you to approve.
- Finds time for meetings and sends you a one-page brief before each one.
- Chases unpaid invoices politely and matches payments to invoices.
- Spots supplier invoices in your inbox, captures them in the books and asks before paying.
Where it does the real work
A chat window answers questions. In the terminal your AI runs programs, changes files and works across systems in one go.
You never type a command. Ask once in plain English and it keeps doing the job every week.
How it finds answers in your documents
Ask about a contract, a policy or last year's numbers. It answers from your own files and shows the page. Click a stage to see how.

Ingest
Your data, structured.
We pull from every system you keep documents in. SharePoint, Confluence, S3, Notion, file shares, ticket exports. PDFs, Word, Markdown, transcripts. Versioned so we know when a policy changes.

Your model, your hardware
Pick a model and a home for it. The card explains what that means.
- Your data
- Your AI runs on a server you own and keeps your files there. Only the text it's working on at that moment goes to Anthropic to be processed. Use a business plan that doesn't train on your data.
- What you pay
- A monthly subscription from Anthropic, or pay per use through their API. We help you pick whichever works out cheaper for how much you use it.
- What it's good at
- Frontier models are the strongest at long, tricky work like reading contracts, writing code or planning. You can switch to another one later without rebuilding anything.
It's the same care we put into our cybersecurity and compliance work.
How we build it
Architecture
We map how work moves and decide what it does alone, what it asks about and what it never touches.
Engineering
We build it, then test it on your real work before you rely on it.
Orchestration
One AI or a whole team of them, with clear roles, checks and a person approving what matters.
From first call to running
- 01Talk to us. Walk us through your week. We show you what an AI should and shouldn't take over.
- 02Design. A written plan: what it connects to, what it may do, where it runs.
- 03Build. Piece by piece, with you trying each piece.
- 04Hand over, or we run it. It's yours. Run it yourself (we can teach you), or we host and improve it.
Want to run it yourself? We'll teach you. See Training.
AI for your industry
What your own AI would do in a business like yours, with a short demo for each.
Now it's real.
Four things stay true, whatever we build for you.
Your hardware or ours
On your server, on ours, or on a machine in your office running an open model. Your call.
A person approves what matters
Payments, deletions and anything going to a client wait for a yes from you or someone you choose.
Every action logged
You can see what it read, what it did and why, for every task.
Built with POPIA in mind
We set it up the way we set up any system that handles personal information, with the same care our compliance work gets.
Questions people ask
What is a knowledge graph?
It's a map of everything your business knows and how it connects: this client signed that contract, owes this invoice, emailed about that quote. Your AI walks the map to answer questions a search box can't, and each answer points back to the records it came from. We build one from your own email, files and systems.
Can you build a knowledge graph from our email and files?
Yes. We connect to your email, files and systems with only the access you give, link up the clients, contracts, invoices and people they mention, and set your AI up to answer from that map. Each answer points back to the records it came from, and it all runs on a server you choose.
How is a knowledge graph different from searching my files?
A search box finds documents that contain your words. A knowledge graph knows how things connect, so it can answer a question like which clients owe you money and also have a quote waiting. It follows the links between records and shows you the records it used.
What is an AI operating system?
It's an AI assistant set up around your business. It's connected to your email, files and business systems, it knows how you like things done, and it does the work rather than only answering questions. Important actions wait for a person to approve them.
Which AI model does it use?
Whichever you prefer: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, or an open model such as Llama, Qwen, Gemma or DeepSeek running on your own hardware. You can mix them, and you can switch later without rebuilding.
Is my data safe?
Your AI lives on a server you choose, and each connector only gets the access you give it. With a cloud model, only the text it's working on is sent to that provider to be processed, so we set you up on a business plan that doesn't train on your data. With an open model on your own GPU, nothing leaves your building.
Can it run without sending anything to the cloud?
Yes. With an open model on a graphics card you own or rent, the whole thing can run on your own machine. It's a bit less capable on the hardest reasoning than the best cloud models, and for most everyday work it's more than enough.
Do I need to know how to code or use the terminal?
No. You talk to it in plain English, on your phone, by email or in a chat window. The terminal is where it does its heavier work, and it does the typing there itself.
What happens if an AI company changes its prices or its model?
Your skills, connectors and data belong to you and aren't tied to one provider. If a model gets worse or more expensive, we point your AI at a different one.
Who can see what it does?
You, and anyone you give access to. Every task is logged with what it read, what it did and who approved it.
Do you host it, or do we?
Either. We can set it up on your own server or computer and hand it over, or host and maintain it for you on ours for a monthly fee.
What does it cost?
It depends on how many systems it connects to and how much work it takes on. After a first conversation you get a written quote, and you decide from there.
