Self-hosted AI workspace for local and cloud models
Connect local runtimes like Ollama alongside OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic APIs, and switch between them inside one interface.
RAG over your own documents, web search and citation-aware answers come standard, so responses are grounded in real sources.
Extend the platform with Python code to add custom tooling, preprocessing, and multi-step pipelines, then share them with others.
SSO, RBAC, audit logs, data residency, and on-premises, hybrid or air-gapped deployment for organisations with strict requirements.
Automate your email with AI
A conversational agent that organizes your inbox, identifies what matters, drafts replies, writes scheduling emails and runs multi-step workflows from a single prompt.
Plain-language AI filters and scripts that automatically label, archive, star or sweep messages so you reach inbox zero faster.
Ask questions in natural language and search across your own messages — or your whole team's emails and attachments — to get answers rather than links.
Shared threads, private comments, assigned next steps and shared labels give a team one live view of important conversations.
