What you get with Abila.
A platform for regulated firms — task-based, on-premise, vendor-neutral on the model.
Abila is a private AI platform for regulated firms. It runs on your own hardware, stores documents in a content-addressable object store, retrieves with hybrid search, and generates with a swappable open-source LLM stack. Every answer is cited and audited. There is no chat interface; every interaction is a task with a verifiable output.
The five things that are always on
- Data never leaves the building.On-prem, no telemetry, no vendor backdoor.
- Every AI answer is auditable.Hash-chained, CLI-verifiable offline.
- Every agentic output is reviewable.Nothing auto-applies.
- One binary per customer.No shared tenancy, no noisy-neighbour risk.
- The firm's vocabulary."Matter", "case file", "engagement" — configurable per deployment.
