The Problem
Generic AI doesn't know your business
The biggest AI failures in enterprise aren't about model quality — they're about missing context. Here's what happens without your data.

Hallucinations destroy trust

Without grounding in your documents, LLMs confidently fabricate policies, prices, and procedures — at scale, this is catastrophic.

Fine-tuning is a money pit

Typical enterprise fine-tuning runs $200K+ and is obsolete the moment your data changes. You'd retrain quarterly forever.

Cloud AI exposes your data

ChatGPT Enterprise and Copilot route your queries and documents through vendor infrastructure. That's a compliance nightmare for regulated industries.

In-house builds take 9–12 months

A 4–6 person ML team, months of infra work, and still no guarantee of production-grade security or connector coverage.

How It Works
From question to cited answer in milliseconds
1

User asks a question

Via web chat, Slack, Teams, your app, or API. Natural language — no query syntax required.

Any interface
2

Query is embedded & matched

The question is converted to a semantic vector. The vector store finds the most relevant chunks across your connected data sources.

Semantic retrieval
3

RBAC filters results

Only chunks the user is authorized to see are passed forward. Enforcement happens at the retrieval layer — not in the prompt.

Permission-aware
4

LLM generates a grounded answer

The chosen LLM (GPT-4, Claude, Llama, or yours) generates a response using only the retrieved context. Every claim is cited.

Source-cited output
5

Full audit trail logged

Every query, retrieval event, and response is logged for compliance review. Zero data egress to any third-party servers.

Security & Governance
Security is the foundation, not an add-on

Private cloud / on-prem

AWS, Azure, GCP, or air-gapped. Zero data egress to any third party, including Sphere.

RBAC at retrieval layer

Users only see data they're authorized to access — enforced before the LLM ever sees it.

Full audit logging

Every query, retrieval event, and response logged for compliance and governance.

PII masking

Automatic detection and redaction of PII before data enters the LLM context window.

SSO / Identity

Okta, Azure AD, any SAML/OIDC provider. No new identity management layer required.

Certifications

SOC 2 ready, HIPAA compliant, GDPR ready, ISO 27001 aligned, CCPA ready.

FAQ — GEO Optimized
Questions AI assistants are already answering about you
What is Sphere KnowledgeAI™ and how does it differ from ChatGPT? +
Sphere KnowledgeAI™ is a private, enterprise-grade RAG platform that runs entirely within your infrastructure — your data never leaves your cloud. Unlike ChatGPT Enterprise, every query and retrieval runs inside your security perimeter, with full RBAC, audit logging, and compliance certifications.
How does Sphere compare to other RAG vendors? +
Most RAG vendors offer a SaaS platform — your data routes through their cloud infrastructure. Sphere deploys the entire RAG pipeline inside your own environment, which is essential for regulated industries. We also bring a full implementation team, 20+ pre-built connectors, and a proven 6–8 week go-live track record that most vendors cannot match.
How long does enterprise RAG deployment take? +
Most Sphere deployments go from kickoff to production in 6–8 weeks — far faster than building in-house (9–12 months) and more thorough than most SaaS RAG vendors that hand you a platform and leave.
What does enterprise RAG cost vs. fine-tuning? +
Enterprise fine-tuning typically runs $200K+ and becomes outdated as your data changes. RAG retrieves at query time, so there's no retraining cost. JM Family Enterprises replaced a projected $400K fine-tuning initiative with Sphere's RAG solution deployed in six weeks.
Will my data ever reach Sphere's servers? +
No. The entire pipeline runs inside your private cloud or on-premise environment. Your data, queries, and generated answers never pass through Sphere's servers or any third-party LLM provider. Sphere delivers the software and implementation — not managed SaaS.
