Does our data ever leave the company?
Not in Private mode. The language model, the vector database and your documents all run on a device inside your network, and outbound traffic is restricted to an allowlist. The admin console shows how many bytes left the device — in this mode it is zero.
How is this different from ChatGPT Enterprise or Copilot?
Those tools process your data on the vendor’s infrastructure. Optibotics processes it on yours. On top of that you get per-agent permissions, human approval for sensitive actions, and an audit trail you can hand to an auditor.
Why not just install a local model ourselves?
Running a local model is the easy part. The hard part is everything else — permissions, agent isolation, document indexing, ERP integration, prompt injection defence, signed updates, backups, monitoring and audit records. That is precisely what we build and operate.
Will it be as capable as the best cloud models?
No, and we do not claim otherwise. Local models have real limits compared with the largest cloud models. We tune Optibotics for your company’s specific tasks over your own data, where the practical gap is small — and in exchange you keep control of the data.
What happens if the device fails?
We monitor its health and replace hardware if it fails. Configuration and the index are restored from backup. The Enterprise tier supports high availability across several nodes.
Can we run it on our own server?
Yes. With the Enterprise tier we deploy Optibotics onto your existing infrastructure and charge for the software licence and support only.
How long does deployment take?
Installing the device usually takes one day. Connecting data sources, indexing documents and configuring the first agents typically takes two to four weeks depending on how many integrations are involved.
Can you see our documents?
No. Remotely we see the technical health of the device — versions, CPU and disk usage, backup results. Prompts, responses, documents and index contents never reach us. This follows from the architecture, not just from a contractual clause.
