Holt Teams · Design partners wanted

Your company's AI, on your own hardware.

A private AI platform that runs inside your company and only shows each person what they're allowed to see. Nothing reaches an outside model unless you allow it.

In design now. Building it with 3 to 5 companies.

Your team's laptops talk to a Holt Teams server inside your building, which reads your database, email and files. Frontier cloud models sit outside and only get masked requests, when you switch them on. YOUR BUILDING YOUR TEAM Holt Teams YOUR SYSTEMS FRONTIER your choice, masked

Most companies are stuck choosing between two bad options.

Option 1
Paste it into a public chatbot

Client data leaves the building.

Option 2
IT says no

Safe, but the work stays manual.

Holt Teams
AI that stays inside

Useful AI, on your servers, with IT in control.

What happens when someone asks a question.

  1. Someone asks In a web app on their laptop
  2. Access check Only what they can already open
  3. Search Your email, files and database
  4. Route to a model Local by default, or the frontier model you allow
  5. Reply with sources So they can check it

Nothing leaves your network unless your admin switches on a cloud model, and then sensitive details are masked first.

Orchestration layer · included by default

Pick the brain. Holt routes the work.

Plug in Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral or any model with an API. Holt decides what goes where, by your rules.

A question goes to the Holt orchestrator, which routes it to local open models by default or to Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral or any other API you allow. QUESTION Orchestrator rules + masking Local open models Default, on your server Claude Anthropic GPT OpenAI Gemini Google Mistral Mistral AI Any other API Bring your own key
Built in, on from day one

Every request goes through the orchestrator. Nothing to install.

Your rules, per task

Client files stay local. Heavy reasoning can use the model you choose.

Masked before it leaves

Names and numbers swapped out before a cloud call, put back on return.

Swap providers anytime

Change models without moving your data or retraining anyone.
