Features
We want to democratize knowledge for a better good
Fully Open Source
Search, the reference graph and freely licensed standards work without sign-up. An account is only ever needed for optional extras.
Independent by design
Held by a non-profit carrier organisation, separate from any future commercial services — the free core stays independent by construction.
Local AI
We're building our own knowledge graph to power a local LLM, with no U.S. cloud services involved.
Source-cited, always
Every answer traces back to the source it came from — no black-box claims, ever.
CAD & PLM interoperability
Built to plug into the systems engineers already use, through a documented, open API — no proprietary lock-in.
Open, versioned API
Public, OpenAPI-documented, and versioned — everything is documented transparently.
Standards reference graph
Every standard is a node in an open, machine-readable graph — references, supersession chains and law-to-standard links, free under ODbL.
Sovereign & privacy-first
Hosted on European infrastructure, no ad tracking, cookieless analytics — searching never requires personal data.
Works everywhere, as a PWA
