What you get with Abila.
A platform for regulated firms — task-based, with a curated catalog of approved models.
Abila is a private AI platform for regulated firms. It ships as a dedicated appliance that lives on the firm's premises, stores documents in a content-addressable object store, retrieves with hybrid search, and generates with a curated catalog of approved open-source models. Every answer is cited and audited. There is no chat interface; every interaction is a task with a verifiable output.
The data-handling posture — on-prem, hash-chained audit, refusals, threat model — lives on the security page. This page covers what you do with the platform.
