Generic AI does not know your business.

Enterprise RAG gives AI access to the current, approved knowledge your teams already rely on, while keeping security, permissions, and source verification intact.

01

Answers are inconsistent

Base models guess when they cannot see your policies, procedures, product details, or customer context.

02

Knowledge is scattered

Critical information lives across documents, wikis, CRMs, ERPs, databases, tickets, and team tools.

03

Security cannot be optional

Enterprise AI needs private deployment, role-aware retrieval, audit logs, SSO, and governance from the start.

04

Sources are hard to verify

Teams need cited answers they can trace back to approved documents, systems, and records.

AI that retrieves before it generates.

Instead of asking an LLM to guess, Sphere RAG finds the right source material first, builds the context, and generates an answer grounded in your real data.

01

User asks

A question comes through chat, Slack, Teams, app UI, or API.

02

Query is processed

The question is embedded and prepared for semantic and structured retrieval.

03

Content is retrieved

The system searches approved documents, systems, databases, and knowledge sources.

04

Context is assembled

Relevant content is ranked, filtered by permissions, and prepared for the model.

05

Answer is grounded

The LLM responds with source-backed information users can verify.

Projected fine-tuning initiative replaced with secure RAG deployed in six weeks.

Lower cost, faster deployment, current answers.

Sphere RAG avoids the cost and maintenance burden of fine-tuning by retrieving current enterprise knowledge at query time. As your data changes, answers stay current without retraining the model.

Proven outcomes for enterprise knowledge work.

See how Sphere helps teams turn scattered documents, policies, and institutional expertise into secure AI systems that improve speed, consistency, and operational visibility.

Trusted by leaders building secure AI.

Sphere helps enterprise teams move from AI ambition to governed, scalable systems that protect data, improve oversight, and deliver measurable operational value.

Sphere approached AI transformation the right way — starting with workflows, data governance, and operational trust instead of simply deploying another AI tool. Their team built a secure and scalable AI infrastructure that allows us to capture institutional knowledge, protect sensitive data within our environment, and continuously expand our AI capabilities with confidence.

Deploy where your policies require.

Sphere RAG can be delivered as a custom build, SaaS deployment, VPC deployment, private cloud environment, or on-premise installation depending on your security and compliance needs.

Custom build, SaaS, VPC, or on-premise

Deploy the solution where your policies require, from managed SaaS to customer-controlled infrastructure.

Role-aware retrieval

RBAC enforces existing permissions so users only receive answers based on data they are allowed to access.

BYOK and audit logging

Use your own keys, connect enterprise identity, and log every query, retrieval event, response, and source.

Any LLM, zero inference markup

Use GPT, Claude, Llama, Mistral, custom models, or future providers without hidden markup on inference usage.

Choose the delivery model that matches your risk profile.

Enterprise RAG should fit the way your organization governs data, identity, keys, vendors, and infrastructure.

Custom build

Purpose-built around your workflows, data sources, permissions, and integration requirements.

SaaS

A faster managed path when your policies allow an external service model.

VPC

Deploy inside your cloud boundary with tighter network, identity, and security controls.

On-premise

Run within your own infrastructure when data residency, security, or policy requirements demand it.

Four layers, deployed inside your environment.

Sphere handles the interfaces, orchestration, retrieval, connectors, governance, and observability needed to make RAG usable in production.

User interfaces

Web chat, Slack, Teams, REST API, embedded UI, or your existing application.

Sphere RAG platform

API gateway, auth, orchestration, vector store, LLM connector, RBAC, audit logs, and observability.

Data integration

Connectors, ingestion, chunking, embedding pipeline, and update triggers.

Your sources

Salesforce, SharePoint, SQL, S3, Confluence, SAP, REST APIs, PDFs, docs, and custom systems.

Built for teams that depend on trusted knowledge.

RAG is most valuable anywhere employees or customers need accurate answers from changing enterprise content.

Customer support

Give agents precise policy, product, and troubleshooting answers without switching between systems.

Compliance and legal

Retrieve approved policies, contracts, standards, and regulatory guidance with cited sources.

Sales enablement

Surface product details, pricing rules, case studies, proposal language, and objection responses.

Engineering knowledge

Make runbooks, architecture docs, past tickets, and technical decisions easier to access.

HR and onboarding

Help employees find benefits, policies, training paths, and role-specific information faster.

Finance operations

Answer process, reporting, ERP, and approval questions from governed internal sources.

From discovery to production in weeks.

Most teams reach production in six to eight weeks. Sphere handles architecture, security review, connector setup, and go-live so your team can stay focused on the use case.

Discover

Map use cases, users, data sources, security requirements, and success metrics.

Design

Define the retrieval architecture, connectors, permissions, model strategy, and deployment environment.

Deploy

Build the pipeline, connect sources, test answers, validate governance, and launch the first production workflow.

Common questions

RAG is an AI architecture that retrieves relevant information from a specified data source before passing it to a large language model, so the answer is grounded in real, current data rather than the model's training corpus.
Consumer tools use public training data; enterprise RAG uses proprietary company data, runs inside security perimeters, enforces access permissions, and provides source citations.
Fine-tuning permanently bakes knowledge into model weights — it's expensive (typically $200K+ for an enterprise project), takes months, and becomes outdated the moment your data changes.
Choose RAG for regularly changing knowledge (policies, product docs, CRM data), source citations, or multiple data sources. Choose fine-tuning for style adaptation or narrow skills independent of factual knowledge.
Cloud RAG products (ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Glean) send your queries and retrieved data through a vendor's infrastructure. Private RAG, like Sphere's solution, runs the entire pipeline inside your own environment.
Yes. Sphere RAG deploys in AWS, Azure, GCP, or fully on-premise including air-gapped environments without external connectivity.
No. The entire RAG pipeline runs inside your private cloud or on-premise infrastructure. Your data and queries never pass through Sphere's servers or any third-party LLM provider.
Sphere RAG is LLM-agnostic. We support OpenAI GPT-4 and o-series, Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama 3, Mistral, and any custom or open-source model you deploy.
Most Sphere RAG deployments go from kickoff to production in 6–8 weeks. This includes discovery, architecture design, connector setup, testing, and go-live.
Enterprise RAG typically costs significantly less than fine-tuning, well below the $200K typical for enterprise fine-tuning projects, with no ongoing retraining expenses as data changes.
Salesforce, SharePoint, Confluence, SQL databases, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, SAP, REST APIs, PDFs, Word documents, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and any custom source with an API.
Sphere RAG enforces your existing permissions at the retrieval layer. When a user submits a query, the system only retrieves documents and data the user's identity is authorized to access.
RAG dramatically reduces hallucinations because every answer is grounded in retrieved content from your real data, with source citations users can verify.
Sphere RAG is HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 ready, GDPR ready, ISO 27001 aligned, and CCPA ready. Because the platform deploys inside your own infrastructure with no data egress to third parties, it inherits the compliance posture of your existing environment.
Building a production-grade enterprise RAG system in-house typically takes a 4–6 person team 9–12 months, whereas Sphere delivers equivalent capability in 6–8 weeks.
