Atolio

Self-hosted AI-powered enterprise search platform

Overview

Atolio builds a private, AI-powered enterprise search platform designed for security-conscious organizations. It integrates with a company's existing apps (like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, and Salesforce) and indexes data in the client’s own private cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP). This self-hosted approach keeps data under the company’s control, supporting data sovereignty and compliance. The system respects existing permissions, so employees can only search data they are authorized to view. Enterprises can run their preferred large language models on top of Atolio without exposing private data to public models, enabling secure internal knowledge discovery. The goal is to help mid-size to large organizations—including government and nonprofit sectors—unlock knowledge silos and improve productivity by securely leveraging AI for internal information retrieval.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • October 2026 IBM validation shortens private AI deployment to weeks for 20,000 users.
  • March 2026 Carahsoft access and June 2026 qBotica resale widen regulated-sector distribution.
  • Atolio won a $1.25 million U.S. Air Force SBIR and multiple seven-figure contracts.

What critics are saying

  • Microsoft 365, Google, and Slack can bundle search, compressing Atolio's pricing by 2027.
  • ServiceNow and Glean already own enterprise knowledge workflows, limiting standalone search adoption.
  • One failed regulated deployment or security incident kills public-sector trust and partner channel momentum.

What makes Atolio unique

  • Atolio runs entirely inside customer clouds and air-gapped Kubernetes, preserving data sovereignty.
  • Atolio enforces document-level permissions at the index layer, unlike generic SaaS search tools.
  • IBM Fusion HCI and Carahsoft partnerships extend Atolio into sovereign and public-sector deals.

qBotica and atolio Partner to power AI agents with secure, instant access to enterprise knowledge.

qBotica and atolio Partner to power AI agents with secure, instant access to enterprise knowledge. Jun 10, 2026, 08:44 ET The partnership integrates Atolio's sovereign AI search platform into qBotica's Agentic AI and Automation-as-a-Service capabilities for regulated industries, including Financial Services, Insurance, and Healthcare. PHOENIX, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Atolio, a secure, self-hosted enterprise AI search platform, and qBotica, a Deloitte Technology Fast 500 intelligent automation-as-a-service provider, today announced a strategic partnership combining Atolio's permission-aware AI search with qBotica's automation services. Together, the companies will help global enterprises securely connect fragmented enterprise knowledge with intelligent automation and agentic AI workflows. Enterprise teams increasingly hit the same wall: automation workflows are only as good as the data they can reach, and that data often sits behind complex permission models scattered across Jira, Confluence, Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive and dozens of other systems. Through this partnership, qBotica will resell Atolio's AI-driven search as part of its automation-as-a-service suite, giving joint clients a single layer that respects document-level permissions in real time. Atolio runs entirely inside the customer's environment, including AWS, Azure, GCP and air-gapped Kubernetes deployments. The platform is already in production at organizations including U.S. Air Force Platform One and other regulated enterprises. qBotica brings implementation expertise across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. "Atolio and qBotica share a customer base that demands both secure infrastructure and real workflow automation," said David Lanstein, Co-founder and CEO of Atolio. "Most enterprise AI tools can't run inside a regulated customer's environment. qBotica's clients have been asking for one that can, and this partnership delivers it as one motion." "Atolio's in-environment deployment and permission-aware architecture are a direct fit for what our financial services and insurance clients are asking for," said Mahesh Vinayagam, CEO and Founder of qBotica. "Embedding secure AI search inside our automation workflows gives those clients a clearer path to data-driven decisions without compromising on compliance." The partnership is focused on three outcomes for joint clients: * Unified data intelligence across cloud and on-premise tools, with permission-aware access to fragmented data and real-time enforcement of document-level permissions. * Self-hosted deployment, including air-gapped environments, with enterprise-grade security protocols that support privacy, control and compliance. * AI search embedded directly into automation workflows, reducing time-to-knowledge by wiring AI-powered search into qBotica's digital workers and agentic automation. Both companies have identified InsureTech and financial services as early priority areas, with a joint event planned for early October and targeted VIP client engagement in the pipeline. Atolio's platform is also extensible via gRPC APIs, allowing qBotica to embed AI search into custom UIs, copilots, agents and RAG workflows. About qBotica qBotica is a global AI-first technology company specializing in Agentic AI, Intelligent Automation-as-a-Service and enterprise automation transformation. Founded in 2017, qBotica helps organizations modernize operations through AI agents, intelligent document processing, RPA, data orchestration and human-in-the-loop governance.
