Your AI.
Your building.
Your rules.
The full Artactual platform — Thriving Index, Recursive Merge, local AI models, knowledge base — running entirely on your network. No cloud uploads. No vendor data agreements. No API calls leaving the building.
Currently accepting early access inquiries — hardware ships Q3 2026.
Built for organizations where data can't leave the room.
Cloud AI is powerful — but for some industries, it's legally unusable. Node removes the compliance barrier without sacrificing capability.
Patient data can't touch a vendor's servers without a BAA and legal review. Node processes PHI entirely on your hardware — no BAA required with Artactual.
Attorney-client privilege and client confidentiality demand total data control. Node keeps every document, every query, and every output inside your four walls.
Student records and minors' data have strict protections. Node handles faculty and student AI workflows without FERPA exposure or parental consent complexity.
Restricted networks, CUI handling, and procurement constraints block most cloud AI. Node installs inside your existing network perimeter with no external dependencies.
IRB protocols, IP protection, and export control (ITAR/EAR) make cloud AI a legal minefield for research institutions. Node keeps experiments and datasets local.
NDA obligations, insider information handling, and SEC data rules demand airtight controls. Node lets compliance and trading teams use AI without regulatory exposure.
Three Node configurations. One complete platform.
Each Node ships pre-configured with Artactual installed. Plug in, activate, and you're live in under 15 minutes. No IT department required for Starter or Pro.

A full AI platform. Not just a chatbot on a box.
Every Node ships with the complete Artactual software stack — pre-installed, pre-configured, and ready to run your organization's knowledge base.
Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Phi-3.5 — served locally via REST API. Same interface as cloud AI, zero internet required. Models selected and tuned for your hardware tier.
Upload your documents — PDFs, policies, case files, research — and the Node makes them searchable by your AI. All retrieval, all embeddings, all local. No external vector database.
The full Thriving Index runs on-device. Assessments, scoring, dimension analysis, and historical trending — all stored locally. Benchmark sync to Artactual is opt-in, off by default.
Map → Pair → Train → Measure — the full methodology runs locally. Artactual guides the process via quarterly calls. Your data never moves to support the engagement.
TLS 1.3 on your local network, full-disk encryption, role-based access control, and a tamper-evident audit log of every query and document access. Built for compliance review.
Signed software updates delivered when you choose to apply them. You control the update cadence — critical patches can be staged, tested, and approved on your schedule.
Designed to be live in 15 minutes. Running in a week.
We ship the hardware pre-configured. You plug it in. The Recursive Merge does the rest — at your pace, with your data.
Plug your Node into power and your network via Ethernet. No special networking. No firewall rules. No IT ticket.
