AI that holds up on your real data

Most AI projects demo well and fall over in production. The difference is almost never the model — it's retrieval, evaluation, permissions and what happens when the system doesn't know. That's the part we build.

Every claim, with its source

This is the shape of an answer from a system we build: each claim on its own line, the document it comes from, how sure it is — and which retrieved sources it threw away. Point at a citation.

How long can we keep CCTV footage of our shop?

Answer

  1. Only as long as you need it for the purpose you recorded it for.

    High confidence

  2. European guidance expects deletion within a few days in most cases, and treats about 72 hours as a sensible default.

    High confidence

  3. In Greece, the authority's CCTV directive caps retention at 15 days unless an incident is being investigated. It predates the GDPR, so confirm it for your case.

    Personal data must be kept in a form that identifies people for no longer than necessary for its purpose.

  • 2 · EDPB Guidelines 3/2019 on video devices

    Footage should in most cases be erased after a few days; a longer period needs a specific justification.

  • 3 · Hellenic DPA, Directive 1/2011

    Recordings are kept for at most fifteen days, except where an incident is under investigation.

What we actually build

Your data. Your choice.

Most projects end up at A. We'll say so if that's you — even though C is more interesting for us to build.

What we'll tell you for free

  • If a frontier API solves your problem, use a frontier API. Self-hosting is a cost decision, not a virtue.

  • If your documents are a mess, retrieval will be a mess. Fixing the data is usually cheaper than a bigger model.

  • If nobody can say what a good answer looks like, we can't measure it — and neither can you.

  • Greek-language retrieval is genuinely harder than English, and most tools handle it badly. We've spent real time on exactly that.
