Connect AI to the systems your business already runs on.
Visual, low-code automation tools — orchestrating private LLMs, internal APIs, email, CRMs, and more — running entirely inside your environment. No SaaS connectors leaking data outside your firewall.
Pick the tool that fits the job.
Each is included in your private instance (n8n requires a separate license). Mix and match — they all talk to the same private LLMs and the same private network.

A typical private AI workflow.
Trigger from anywhere — email, schedule, webhook, file drop. Reason with a private LLM. Act on the result through your existing systems. All inside your firewall.
What teams build first.
Inbox triage
Classify incoming email by intent, draft replies using your private LLM, and route urgent items to the right person.
Document intake
Drop a PDF in a watched folder. Extract fields, summarize, file to the right system, and notify the team.
Internal Q&A bot
Wire your private LLM to internal docs and run an always-on knowledge bot — without sending a byte to OpenAI or Anthropic.
Data normalization
Reconcile vendor names, addresses, or part numbers across mismatched systems using a private LLM as the matcher.
Reporting digests
Pull metrics on a schedule, summarize narratively with a private LLM, and post to Slack/Teams or email.
Approval workflows
Human-in-the-loop steps for purchase orders, content review, or anything where a person needs the final say.
