What Naxis is building: a private knowledge engine your company can answer for

One private knowledge engine per company: grounded answers with citations, single-tenant deployments, permissions inside every query. Our goals, stated so you can hold us to them.

Most companies already own the knowledge they need. It sits in drives, mailboxes, chat threads, CRMs and databases, and the fastest way to find it is still to interrupt the one person who remembers where it lives. Naxis exists to remove that interruption without asking anyone to trust a platform.

This post states our goals plainly, so you can hold us to them.

One private knowledge engine per company

Naxis Assistant is a private knowledge engine: it answers questions from your company's own record, in your own deployment, and shows its evidence. Each client runs a complete instance with its own database. Documents, conversations, permissions and audit records never share storage with anyone else's. That is the architecture, not a pricing tier.

The goal behind that choice is accountability. A company must be able to answer for its data: where it lives, who read it, what left the boundary and why. Pooled platforms make those questions hard by construction. Single tenancy makes them answerable.

Answers that hold up

A knowledge engine is only useful if you can act on what it says. So Naxis is built around one rule: every claim cites a passage from your corpus, and citations are verified mechanically. When no citation survives, it answers "I don't have that in the knowledge base" instead of improvising.

Business corpora contradict and supersede themselves. Documents therefore carry their situation (date, author, the entities they concern, their standing as evidence), and an executed contract outranks a report, a report outranks notes, notes outrank drafts. Dates are computed deterministically; the model is not allowed to do calendar arithmetic.

An executed contract outranks a draft, and the answer cites it

We consider abstention a feature. A system that always answers is a liability wearing a chat window.

Nothing new to adopt

People do not switch tools because a vendor asked. Naxis answers inside the platforms a team already types in: Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, the web console, or your own software through a plain API. Identity, permissions and citations follow each person through every doorway, and an unknown sender gets nothing until you decide otherwise.

The answers land at the desk, mid-task, in the tools already open

Permissions inside the query

Two people can ask the same question and receive two different, correct answers, each scoped to what that person may read. The group filter lives inside every read the engine makes, not in any interface above it. There is no unfiltered path to the knowledge base, so there is no surface to misconfigure.

Paperwork that cannot drift

Compliance documents are usually written once and wrong within a quarter. A Naxis deployment generates its GDPR Article 30 record from the configuration that actually runs: retention values, sub-processors, technical measures. Erasure means deletion, store and search index alike. The audit log chains every entry to the one before it, so the record proves itself.

What we will not build

Naxis reads and answers. It does not act on other systems, score people, or make decisions about them, and deployments are contractually excluded from the uses the EU AI Act calls high risk. Client data is never used to train models: indexing runs entirely inside the deployment, and generation either stays fully in-house, on a self-hosted deployment that answers entirely on its own hardware, or uses the Naxis AI service under a data-processing agreement with zero-retention terms.

Where this is going

The product is live and the demo is a real deployment you can open today. The near-term work is steady: deeper source coverage. The security and compliance record is public and stays that way.

If your company needs to answer for its data, that is the company we built this for.

Shadow AI: your people are asking someone else about your company

Every paste into a consumer chatbot is a question your own systems could not answer fast enough. Security vendors sell detection, which reads the app and never the question. What the 2026 breach data actually shows, how far Microsoft's new Shadow AI controls really reach, and why the only fix that scales is making the company answerable.

Naxis vs Glean: enterprise platform or private knowledge engine?

Glean is Google for your company: it finds where things are stored. Naxis is the private knowledge engine that knows what is actually true right now. Different machines, different questions, different prices. An honest way to choose, and the Glean alternative for companies of 5 to 200 people.
