Build and manage it yourself

Customer AI Hub
A private space for your customers
Where the AI Portal answers anonymous visitors, the hub serves your signed-in customers — each with their own team, their own documents, and answers tailored to them.
For the customers you know
Invite a customer company and their team signs in at your own hub address — no anonymous visitors, no open door.
They bring their own documents
Each customer adds their own files privately. You never see them, and they never see anyone else’s.
Answers specific to them
The assistant combines the knowledge you approve with their own context — so replies are about their contracts, not generic.
Your brand, your rules
It’s your assistant at your address. Customers can use it, never change it — and they reach nothing else.
Cost under control
Set seats, credit and storage caps per customer, and see usage at a glance — never their content.
Run it all from one screen
Invite customers, set their seats and their credit and storage caps, choose the knowledge they can reach, and flip the hub live — usage always in view, their content never.

FAQs
The basics
What is Nous?
Nous is a knowledge platform for SMEs. It brings everything your company knows into one secure place, answers your team's questions from it, and lets you open a chosen slice to your customers through a branded assistant. It's more than chatting with your documents — it's how you manage your knowledge and put it to work.
How is Nous different from ChatGPT or other similar products?
Generic assistants — ChatGPT or other similar products — know nothing about your business and make things up. Nous answers only from the knowledge you connect, and every reply links back to the exact source so you can check it yourself.
Is this just a RAG?
RAG is the engine, not the product. Retrieval is how Nous grounds its answers, but what you get is everything around it — one secure place for what your business knows, control over who can ask what, a source behind every answer, and the ability to open a chosen slice to your customers. A chatbot answers questions; Nous turns what your company knows into an asset.
Getting started
How long does it take to get started?
Minutes. Upload a few documents and start asking — there's no integration, no engineers, and no setup project.
Do we need a developer or IT team?
No. If you can drag a file into a folder, you can set up Nous. Adding the customer-facing assistant to your website is a single snippet.
Privacy & security
Will our data be used to train AI models?
Never. Your data is never used for training, and it's encrypted in transit and at rest.
Can other businesses see our data?
No. Every business's data is fully isolated behind its own key — never shared, mixed with anyone else, or visible to another business.
Sources & models
What can we connect to Nous?
PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Markdown, CSV, images and public web pages — plus direct import from Google Drive. You can also connect Google and Outlook to take actions like sending an email right from the chat.
Which AI models can we use?
Nous is model agnostic — choose and switch between leading AI models to fit each task, without changing how your data is protected.
AI Portal
What is the AI Portal?
The AI Portal is a branded assistant you add to your website with a single snippet. It answers your customers' questions 24/7 from the knowledge you choose — on-brand, always on, and scoped to exactly what you approve.
Can our customers end up seeing internal documents?
No. The AI Portal only answers from the knowledge bases you explicitly choose. Customers get on-brand answers scoped to exactly what you approve — nothing else is reachable.
Do our website visitors need to sign in to use the AI Portal?
No. The AI Portal is anonymous — visitors get instant, on-brand answers with no sign-up, so it feels like a natural part of your site.
Pricing
How much does Nous cost?
Pricing depends on your team and how you use it. Book an intro and we'll walk you through it and show Nous answering on your own documents.
