Forward Deployed Ingenuity

A general-purpose AI assistant knows the internet, not your business. Voitta builds the parts that let AI work with your own records, and then puts people on site to assemble them.

Chapter One · The Problem
1
What goes wrong today

AI that cannot see the work.

An assistant can draft an email, but it cannot find last month's invoice, read the contract in the shared drive, or tell you which order is stuck. When it answers anyway, it answers confidently and wrongly.

01
Reach

Records it cannot reach.

Documents, spreadsheets, tickets and email live in systems the assistant has no access to.

02
Trust

Actions nobody can trust.

An assistant that can act on your systems needs limits on what it can touch, and a person who approves anything that changes something.

03
Sources

Answers nobody can check.

An answer is useful only if it says where it came from. In our own tests, the most compact way of feeding a model information fabricated 29 of its 31 citations.

The Fix

Buying another AI tool does not fix any of these. The fix is assembly: connect the records, fence the actions, and make every answer traceable to its source.

Same parts, your business

Built from open parts.

The same open-source parts combine differently depending on the business. The one that depends on a prototype says so.

01
Documents

The paperwork office.

A small business runs on contracts, invoices, forms and email. Today the answers live in people's heads and shared folders. After: "Where is the signed lease for unit 4?" gets an answer with a link to the file, and nothing changes without a person's click.

02
Prototype

Voice intake.

Field staff describe a job, a property or an inspection out loud, and someone retypes it later. Voice capture turns the description into a structured record and flags missing fields, such as a disclosure that was not mentioned. A person reviews the draft before it is saved.

03
Engineering

The engineering team.

Developers already use coding agents and want them safe and consistent. What one engineer's agent learns becomes a skill every agent installs, and each session runs inside a fence: secrets hidden, risky scripts flagged for a person.

Chapter Three · The Record

How we use it ourselves

We run it on ourselves first.

We have no customer case study yet, so this is the one deployment we can vouch for: our own. Each write-up includes what did not go to plan.

01
Red team

The gate held. The agent talked.

A partner pointed a test harness at our Slack agent without warning. Every dangerous action was held for a person's approval, and the only command that ran was a directory listing. What leaked was speech: in conversation, the agent gave away folder names and the machine's account name.

02
Security sweep

Our own safety hook logged secrets.

voitta-yolt, the hook that checks agent commands, had been logging every command it inspected, secrets included. We fixed it, swept every agent directory on every machine, and rotated what we found.

03
Benchmark

Our retrieval came last on code.

We benchmarked eight ways of giving agents a codebase and checked every citation against the real source. Our own retrieval came last on code questions, so we changed our default to giving agents search tools, and made line-level citations a requirement.

Not Proven Yet

Voice intake is a prototype with no production user. We recommend our retrieval for documents, not as the default way to answer questions about code. And no customer case study exists yet: the assemblies above describe what the parts do, not results achieved for a client.

Chapter Four · How to Engage
4
Four ways in

Chosen by who leads the technology.

The routes differ in who decides what gets built, and they can be combined.

01
Open source

Build it yourself.

For teams that build for themselves. The parts are free and self-hosted, with community support. You decide.

02
Voitta services

We assemble it for you.

For a business with a specific problem the parts can solve. We build an assembly like those above and hand it over. You decide, on our recommendation.

03
Fractional CTO

No technology leader? Borrow one.

A part-time CTO owns your technology decisions and uses Voitta's parts only where they are the right tool. The CTO works for you, so a recommendation to use Voitta has to be one they would make anyway. Any relationship between the CTO's firm and Voitta is disclosed to you.

+ Enterprise

Many AI tools, and none of them share what the company knows? That is Voitta Enterprise: the same engine, deployed in your network, connected to your identity provider, with an SLA. See Voitta Enterprise →
