Two systems on one box in your building

The Company Brain answers questions from your own documents. The Compliance Vault keeps every record your team creates. Both run on a small computer you own, so nothing goes to an outside AI company.

Cold-pressed & bottled

Every recipe. Every SOP. One brain.

Your formulas, batch sizes and procedures, answered in seconds on any phone on the floor, in English or Spanish.
