Sovereign knowledge management: on your servers, with AI that never leaves your walls

Self-hosted knowledge management software: no outbound connection, local AI, built-in video conferencing, isolated data, full reversibility.

In short

Some knowledge cannot leave the organisation's perimeter, whatever a contract says. KnowledgeCapital exists as a self-hosted edition on your servers, with no outbound connection: AI, search, CV reading and video conferencing all run on your side. The hosted edition isolates each customer in its own database, on a dedicated server.

What "sovereign" means here

What you need

ItemRecommended
SystemUbuntu Server LTS or Red Hat family
Machine2 cores and 4 GB for a few hundred people; 4 cores and 8 GB beyond
Storage50 GB plus backups
DatabaseSQLite for small deployments; PostgreSQL for large ones

A guided installer sets up the service, the web server, the database and scheduled tasks, and explains each step. Details are in the documentation.

Reversibility, in writing

A complete export — data and media — re-importable elsewhere, and a published reversibility plan. The vendor does not own you.

Compliance

GDPR data-residency register, audit log neither optional nor erasable, compartmentalisation by structure. All of it is documented.

If you prefer the hosted edition

Same product, on a dedicated server, with the same per-customer isolation. Moving from one to the other goes through the export.

Connectors obey the same confinement: a document management system or an intranet on your private network is read without opening any way out; an online service such as SharePoint is only reached through its hosts, allowed by name and logged.

Frequently asked questions

Is local AI worse than an online service?

It is sized for the task: search, document reading, clustering. It does not write for you, and nothing leaves your network.

Who installs it?

Your IT team, with the guided installer. Direct support is offered during roll-out.

What happens if the server fails?

Scheduled backups and documented restoration; see the Backups and continuity page.

No card. A space pre-filled with five years of demonstration data.
