Tagline: "Your AI. Your Data. Your Rules."

Status: TRL 7 (System Prototype Demonstrated in Operational Environment)

Supported By: VLAIO (Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship)

1. Mission & Vision

• Vision: To democratize "Sovereign Intelligence," ensuring European enterprises and public institutions can harness Generative AI without compromising data ownership, privacy, or security.

• Mission: To provide the "Engine" for the AI era—bridging the gap between open-source innovation (Llama 3, Mistral) and enterprise-grade compliance (EU AI Act, GDPR) via secure, on-premise infrastructure.

2. Core Product: The KennisAI Platform

A unified "Sovereign AI Operating System" that runs entirely within the client's perimeter (On-Premise or Private Cloud).

• Connect: Ingests data from 100+ sources (SQL, IoT, Documents) without egress.

• Orchestrate: Visual "Flow Canvas" for building complex AI agents.

• Govern: Built-in Zero Trust security, PII redaction, and audit trails.

• Deploy: One-click deployment of agents to production APIs.

3. Key Features (The "Sovereign Stack")

• Sovereign Intelligence Engine: Runs open-weights models (Llama 3, Falcon, EuroLLM) locally. Air-gapped capable for Defense/Healthcare. Native Fine-Tuning (LoRA) on private IP.

• Agentic AutoML ("The Trinity"): A 3-Agent system (Architect, Strategist, Engineer) that autonomously cleans data, selects metrics, and trains ML models (XGBoost/SHAP) in a secure sandbox.

• Zero Trust MCP Gateway: A proprietary governance layer for the Model Context Protocol. It intercepts, authenticates, and sanitizes every tool call (e.g., stopping an agent from executing DROP TABLE on a database).
