Private RAG. Built on top of your stack.
Insights agencies with twenty years of research no one can find. Regulatory consultancies whose senior partners are walking knowledge bases. Specialist law firms with case files locked in SharePoint. Niche manufacturers whose IP lives in PDFs and someone’s head. We build the system that makes the archive searchable, citable, and useful to the whole team.
OpenKit is a UK AI consulting firm that builds private knowledge systems for organisations with valuable internal IP. OpenKit deploys retrieval-augmented generation across your proprietary corpus, case files, research archives, internal reports, telemetry, integrated with your existing storage and identity stack. OpenKit holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and Cyber Essentials certifications and works with regulated and IP-heavy clients across the United Kingdom from a base in Cambridge.
Four patterns we see across the firms that engage us for knowledge-systems work. If two or more of these read as familiar, the system we build is probably worth the conversation.
Twelve years of research reports, case files, customer interviews, expert memos sitting in SharePoint, Google Drive, network shares. Search returns nothing useful. Staff ask colleagues instead of looking it up. Institutional memory walks out the door when a senior leaves.
Every difficult question routes to the same three or four senior people because only they remember the relevant precedent. They burn out. The work that should run on their archive runs on their attention.
Onboarding a new hire takes six months of shadowing because the institutional knowledge is not written down anywhere they can read it. The longer the firm has been operating, the worse this gets.
ChatGPT and Copilot are confident but they do not know your firm. They cite generic answers when the actual answer is in your 2019 report. Sending sensitive material to public APIs is not an option for regulated work.
A private retrieval-augmented generation system over your proprietary corpus, built to your environment, on top of your existing stack, respecting the access controls you already have. The principles on the right are non-negotiable on every build.
The technical engineering pattern is covered on the retrieval-augmented generation page. This page is the buyer-side view.
Your corpus stays in your environment. The retrieval and generation layer is configurable to keep data on-prem, in a dedicated cloud tenant, or in a private deployment of a major LLM provider, whatever your obligations require.
We deploy on top of your existing storage: SharePoint, S3, on-prem document stores, your case management system. No new data lake to migrate to and no new platform for the team to learn.
The system respects the access controls already configured in your storage and identity systems. People can only retrieve what they were already allowed to see. Audit logging is on as standard.
Every answer includes a citation back to the source document or excerpt. No confident hallucinations. If the system does not have the answer, it says so rather than making one up.
We do not require you to migrate to a new platform. The system plugs into the storage and identity tools you already operate. Sector-specific obligations are addressed at the integration layer, not bolted on later.
Three recent engagements. Clients here stay anonymised at their request. We describe outcomes in terms the engineering and procurement teams can verify against their own constraints.
Two-week audit to scope the build. Private by default. Citable by design. Integrated with your existing storage, identity, and audit-logging stack.
