On-Premise AI Automation — your data never leaves your servers
AIK runs AI agents entirely on your own infrastructure. Automate invoices, emails, documents and web tasks without sending a single record to a third-party cloud.
Why on-premise AI matters
Most "AI automation" tools ship your documents, emails and customer data to someone else's servers to be processed. For finance, healthcare, legal and public-sector teams — and anyone under GDPR — that's often a non-starter. AIK is built to run self-hosted: install it on a machine you control, and every step happens inside your own network.
- Your documents and database stay on your machine — a local SQLite file (or your own PostgreSQL), never a vendor cloud.
- AI can run on local LLMs (via Ollama) so prompts and data never leave the building — no external API calls required.
- One installer sets up everything (app, database, service) — no DevOps team needed.
- Your code is shipped compiled, and updates arrive as signed packages — no access to any external code repository required.
What you can automate — privately
- Invoice & document processing — read PDFs and scans, extract fields, validate, export to Excel/CSV or your ERP. See invoice automation →
- Email triage — read the inbox, classify, download attachments, draft replies.
- Database & reporting — query your systems in plain language and build reports.
- Web & RPA tasks — browse sites, fill forms, move data between systems.
GDPR & data residency, handled by design
Because processing happens where you install it, data residency is automatic: EU data stays in the EU, on hardware you own. There's no data-processing agreement to negotiate with a cloud AI vendor because there is no cloud AI vendor in the loop. Combine that with local LLMs and you get automation that's genuinely private end to end.
Hybrid: cloud when you want it, local when you don't
On-premise doesn't mean giving up modern models. AIK is hybrid by design — pick any model in Settings, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, or fully local Ollama, per use case. Run sensitive workloads locally and reach for a cloud model only where it's appropriate. Deploy the app directly on a server or via Docker.
Built to run reliably, unattended
Self-hosting only works if it keeps working. AIK is engineered for it:
- Failure isolation — each tool server runs as its own process, so one failing tool never takes down the platform.
- Health checks & dependency validation — start each built-in tool server and confirm it responds, so you know instantly if an update broke something.
- Per-server timeouts & graceful degradation — a slow or misconfigured component reports "unavailable" instead of hanging or crashing.
- Safe rollback — every update snapshots the app and the database first, so one click restores the previous version if anything goes wrong.
- Signed updates over your own channel — delivered via GitHub or your own server, verified before they're applied; optional auto-update.
