Kuloko deploys enterprise-grade AI retrieval systems entirely within your own walls — on your hardware, under your governance, with zero data leaving your perimeter. Purpose-built for governments, regulated industries, and organizations where sovereignty is non-negotiable.
When your staff submit a question to a cloud AI service, that question — along with the context and documents it references — leaves your network. It travels to a third-party server. It may be logged, retained, or used for model improvement.
For government agencies, airports, financial institutions, and legal firms, this isn't a theoretical concern. It is a concrete compliance failure waiting to happen.
The regulatory landscape is shifting fast. PIPEDA, Protected B, the EU AI Act, FedRAMP, and OSFI B-13 are all evolving toward explicit requirements for AI inference governance — not just data storage. Kuloko positions your organization ahead of this curve.
"If your compliance officer cannot clearly explain where your AI inference logs reside — you are not sovereign."
Queries sent to US-based AI providers may breach Canadian Protected B, EU GDPR, or sector-specific residency requirements — even when the underlying documents are stored locally.
Most cloud AI providers retain query logs and usage metadata on their infrastructure — sometimes indefinitely, sometimes for model training. You have no visibility and no control.
Proprietary embedding formats and API dependencies create long-term architectural debt. One pricing change or service discontinuation can cripple operations built on cloud AI.
Regulatory audits require full provenance of AI-assisted decisions. Cloud inference creates an evidentiary gap that on-premises systems like Kuloko Core eliminate entirely.
Many government and regulated-sector procurement policies already prohibit transmission of sensitive data to foreign-hosted services — a bar that commercial cloud AI cannot meet.
Four deployment tiers from a single department to a government-wide infrastructure. All include hardware, software, monitoring, and managed support.
Kuloko is a managed deployment engagement, not a SaaS product. We deliver a fully operational system on your hardware — then transfer ownership to your team.
We assess your existing infrastructure, data classification tiers, regulatory obligations, and security perimeter. This defines the deployment architecture before any hardware ships.
We design a purpose-built RAG pipeline using open-weight language models, self-hosted vector databases, and on-premises embedding — fully documented, zero vendor dependencies.
The Kuloko Core appliance is installed on your site, within your network boundary. No data leaves your environment at any stage — including ingestion, inference, and retrieval.
Your documents — policies, procedures, case files, BCP records — are processed locally into a high-performance vector store. All ingestion performed entirely on-site by our team.
A clean chat-style interface is deployed for end users, alongside an admin console and REST API layer for SSO integration with your existing Active Directory or identity provider.
Full operational documentation, compliance reporting, and staff training. Your team owns the system. We provide continuous managed support and quarterly model upgrades.
Kuloko is purpose-built for institutions where data sovereignty is a non-negotiable requirement — not a preference.
Enable public servants to query vast archives of legislation, internal policy, and interdepartmental correspondence without transmitting Protected B or classified material outside approved boundaries. Supports ATIP compliance and ministerial briefing preparation with full citation trails.
Airports, utilities, and transit authorities manage thousands of pages of operational procedures and business continuity plans. Kuloko makes this institutional knowledge instantly queryable by authorized staff — on-site, air-gap compatible, always available during network events.
Banks and insurers operate under dense, evolving regulatory frameworks. A sovereign RAG deployment allows compliance teams to query internal policy libraries, OSFI filings, and audit records without exposing client data to foreign-hosted AI inference services.
Law firms hold deeply confidential client matter files. Kuloko enables AI-assisted research and document review within a completely isolated environment — maintaining solicitor-client privilege at the infrastructure level, not just by policy.
Every component of the Kuloko stack is open-source or open-weight. No proprietary lock-in. Full visibility into every layer — forever.
Llama 3, Mistral, and Phi models run locally on your hardware. No API calls, no per-token metering, no external model dependencies — ever.
Your embeddings live in Qdrant, Weaviate, or pgvector — locally operated, fully backed up, access-audited, and readable only by your systems.
PDFs, Word documents, SharePoint libraries, and scanned documents via local OCR — all processed entirely within your network boundary.
Granular per-user and per-group permissions control which staff can query which document collections. Integrates with Active Directory, Okta, or your existing IdP via SAML/OAuth2.
Full telemetry via Prometheus and Grafana — deployed on-premises. Query latency, retrieval quality, and model performance monitored without any data leaving the building.
Designed to operate in fully disconnected environments. No internet connectivity required post-deployment — essential for classified or mission-critical isolated operations.
A clean, familiar chat UI for end users — with mandatory source citations on every response. Every answer links back to the specific document and page that supports it.
Scheduled and on-demand ingestion pipelines keep your knowledge base current as documents evolve — fully automated, locally executed, no downtime.
Every query, retrieval event, and model response is logged locally with user attribution, timestamp, and source citation — stored on-site for regulatory review and ATIP compliance.
Every Kuloko deployment includes architecture documentation and compliance mapping aligned to your specific regulatory obligations.
Our founding team brings decades of mission-critical IT infrastructure experience across government, financial services, and critical operations — including active BCP consulting engagements with major Canadian public institutions.
We don't sell a subscription and walk away. Kuloko is a professional deployment engagement — we stay until your team owns the system completely and can operate it independently.
Every component we deploy is open-source or open-weight. When we leave, you have a fully documented, vendor-independent system your team can maintain and evolve indefinitely.
Our structured deployment methodology delivers a working, queryable prototype within 30 days of engagement start — giving procurement stakeholders something tangible before full commitment.
Every engagement starts with a no-obligation architecture briefing. We'll assess your environment, map your compliance requirements, and show you exactly what Kuloko looks like in your organization.
