AaaS / Agents as a Service — on-prem

SaaS is dead.
Agents are alive.

A CRM is one more screen your best people feed. A private zero1 agent reads your documents, prepares the quote, the intake, the decision — cited or silent — and stops where a human approves.

The approval loop A private agent ingests documents, retrieves sources, prepares a cited draft, stops for human approval, then releases the output. Rejected work returns to draft. RETURN 01 INGEST 02 RETRIEVE 03 DRAFT 04 HUMAN GATE APPROVAL REQUIRED 05 OUT

In production in legal today. Real confidential documents, on the customer side of the firewall. Built for law, banking, and engineering. On-prem.

Watch a week collapse into hours

01 / Problem

First accurate responder wins.

The days you spend preparing are the days you’re losing.

Quotes, intake, decision packets — in every complex firm, prep eats the week and the best people are the ones stuck doing it. The bottleneck is not talent. It is prep. That is the gap an agent closes.

02 / How it works

Your documents in.
Your name out.

Prepared by an agent. Approved by you.

Five stations between your documents and the door. One draft moves through. It pauses exactly once: at a person.

  1. 01 · Your documents

    Ground

    Past quotes, matters, rate sheets, and records. Only yours.

  2. 02 · The draft

    Prepare

    A quote, intake summary, or conflict check — each claim linked to a source.

  3. 03 · No source, no claim

    Prove

    No source? The agent stays silent and asks.

  4. 04 · Human gate

    Approve

    A person reviews and signs off. Nothing leaves before that.

  5. 05 · Out

    Under your name

    Approved work goes out. The judgment stays yours.

03 / Deployment

Nothing leaves the building.

Most AI tools send documents to someone else's cloud. zero1 runs your AI agent inside your office. Models, retrieval, drafting, and review stay on local hardware behind your firewall.

  • 01Your AI agent, installed inside your office
  • 02Local models, routed inside your network
  • 03Your documents never cross your firewall
  • 04No cloud APIs in the loop

Book a demo

Cross-functional office swimlane. Intake, legal, quote, purchase order, audit, and billing pass work to a local AI agent inside a secure perimeter. Nothing crosses the building boundary.

04 / Evidence

Hover or tap a claim.

Every claim leaves a receipt. No source, silence.

The agent has to answer one question for every sentence: where did that come from? If the file set cannot answer, the field stays blank.

Specimen / Illustrative excerpt

Draft quote — prepared for approval

∅ No source in the file set. The agent leaves the field blank and asks, instead of inventing a date.

05 / Products

Two products. One discipline.

Built narrow. Deployed deep.

In production / Legal

ZERO1 Intake

Screens new matters, checks conflicts, and prepares a cited intake summary for attorney review.

  1. Intake criteria matched
  2. Conflicts surfaced from matter and contact records
  3. Cited summary queued for review

Engineering / Quote preparation

ZERO1 Quote

Builds a quote draft from past projects, specifications, and rate sheets for estimator approval.

  1. Past-project analogs retrieved
  2. Stale pricing flagged
  3. Every number linked to its source

Shared engine

Grounded retrieval. Local orchestration. Human gate. One engine, two narrow products.

06 / Story

Two people. We answer our own email.

It sounded right. That was the problem.

In production / Legal
Customer-side / On-prem
Real confidential matter files

  1. Real files broke the illusion. Messy scans, stale pricing, and contradictory documents exposed the failure mode: an agent could sound right and still be wrong.

  2. We rebuilt around proof. Every claim had to trace to a source or stay silent, and every finished draft had to stop at a person.

  3. Then it crossed into production. A bounded legal deployment ran on local hardware with real confidential matter files, on-prem. That system runs in production today.

07 / Book a demo

45 minutes. Your files.

See it run on your documents.

No slide deck. Bring one representative workflow and files you are cleared to share. Watch what the agent cites, where it stays silent, and what it hands you to approve. If it is not a fit, we will say so.
