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.
Most companies are stuck choosing between two bad options.
Client data leaves the building.
Safe, but the work stays manual.
Useful AI, on your servers, with IT in control.
What happens when someone asks a question.
- Someone asks In a web app on their laptop
- Access check Only what they can already open
- Search Your email, files and database
- Route to a model Local by default, or the frontier model you allow
- 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.
Every request goes through the orchestrator. Nothing to install.
Client files stay local. Heavy reasoning can use the model you choose.
Names and numbers swapped out before a cloud call, put back on return.
Change models without moving your data or retraining anyone.
Built for the people who sign off on security.
Your server or cloud account. Works fully offline.
Can't open it in the source system? Holt can't show it.
Each person's memory lives on their own laptop.
Every connector, change and update needs admin approval.
Encrypted before they leave your server.
Updates are signed and opt-in. I can't reach your server.
One person learns it, the whole team keeps it. With permission.
- Private note Stays on their laptop
- Holt suggests sharing Only what looks useful
- 24 hours to veto The person decides first
- Approver signs off Nothing skips this step
- Team knowledge Everyone allowed can use it
Two workflows companies have already brought me.
Yours will be different. That's what design partners are for.
Digging through years of candidate notes by hand
Ask once, get matching candidates with sources, then a draft client report
Customers go quiet and nobody notices in time
Lapsed customers flagged from orders and reviews, win-back message drafted
Where it stands, honestly.
