The systems you already pay for, the vendors on the invoices — and the measured numbers North Star does all of it with, that none of them can touch.
Each of these is a separate line item on your budget today. North Star does the job of all four — and here’s the edge that makes each one obsolete.
Same task, our node against theirs, on real data. These are the ones that don’t come from a bigger budget — they come from a different kind of machine.
Per gigabyte of memory — reach everything you’ve ever stored at once, exact, never a sample. Everyone else keeps only the hot slice that fits in RAM.
Holding every version of every record takes less room than a single conventional copy does today.
Than a conventional store on the same data — and a tail latency about 6× tighter, so the slow answers stay fast too.
The whole records stack — backup, archive, audit, compliance — runs on about the power of a bulb. Silent and fanless.
Your own AI answers over everything, in place — and when a model altered a figure, the record caught it. Nothing ever leaves the node.
Many separate customers on one node, provably isolated — not one record crossed the line.
Figures measured in our own tests on real corpora; ranges depend on your data and settle at launch. Run them on a slice of your own data — you check every number.
Keep Claude, GPT, or Gemini — whatever you already trust to talk to. It turns your plain‑English question into a precise query and hands it to North Star. Your box computes the exact, cited answer and gives it to you. The model never receives a single record — not your data, and not even the answer. Everyone else’s “AI over your data” ships your data to the AI. We send the question to your data instead.
Claude, GPT, Gemini — the AI you already use. We don’t replace it; we make it safe to point at your business.
The model learns the shape of your data — the fields, never the records. Your question goes out; your data never does — not even the answer comes back to it.
Your box searches everything you’ve ever kept — not a retrieved sample — and returns the exact answer, every figure tied to the record it came from.
And it’s not only questions — proving, rewinding, and restoring work the same way: your AI writes the instruction, your box carries it out, your data stays put.
Every AI question is billed by how much the model has to read. The usual “AI over your data” has the model read your records — so the more you keep, the more each question costs, and past a point it can’t hold it all. North Star sends the model the question, never the records. That bill is the same whether you keep ten thousand records or ten million.
Slide any record back to how it looked yesterday, last quarter, or right before that bad edit. Every save is kept, automatically.
Hand anyone a record and a receipt they can check themselves — authentic, unaltered, and when it was written. Trust no one, not even us.
Something got in and changed your files? Roll the whole set back to the last good moment. Ransomware becomes a footnote.
Connect several nodes and ask one question across all of them for a provable answer, without any record leaving its box. A cheating node is rejected, not averaged in.See the Commons →
It’s a box you own, on your premises, that works offline. Pull the network cable and it keeps running. Nobody else can see, hold, or lose your data.
Tell us what you keep and what you pay for it today. We’ll run these same measurements on a slice of your data — and you check every one.
