On-premise AI for European SMEs
No cloud. No per-seat fees. No data leaving Europe. Local LLM, local vector database, MIT-licensed — sovereign by architecture, not by policy.
Built for European SMEs — law firms, engineering consultancies, manufacturing companies — whose DPO killed the Microsoft Copilot rollout.
Copilot, Notion AI, and Glean all promise data residency, backed by a thirty-page DPA. DEM cannot leak data, because there is no outbound call to leak. Pull the network cable; DEM keeps working. Privacy physics, not privacy policy.
Per-seat AI pricing is a recurring tax on growth. A 100-person firm on Copilot pays €36,000/year, forever. DEM is a one-time licence plus flat annual support. Add 20 staff next year — same price.
The codebase is open source under MIT. If our company disappears tomorrow, your AI keeps working forever. No hostage situation, no end-of-life surprise, no acquisition price hike. Pay us for support — or fork it. Your call, always.
DEM doesn't try to replace your ERP, your CRM, or your accountant. It answers the questions you currently answer by opening twelve PDFs and a SharePoint folder nobody named.
The procurement lead used to keep this in a spreadsheet she updated by hand. DEM reads the contracts directly and answers with citations.
Drafting templates lived in three associates' inboxes. DEM indexes the firm's archive — junior lawyers find precedent in seconds, not afternoons.
The retiring foreman knew. The foreman after him didn't. DEM ingests the manuals, the SOPs, and the safety bulletins — and answers in the language the technician asks in.
Network shares, SharePoint, email archives, an old NAS full of PDFs. DEM ingests where your documents already live.
Embeddings and metadata are computed and stored on the same machine. No SaaS round-trip, no third-party processor.
Through a browser, on the office LAN. Answers cite the exact source document, page, and paragraph.
Audit log of every query, role-based access by folder, one-click "forget this document" for GDPR Article 17.
Ask in German, get answers from a French contract and a Spanish email. DEM speaks the languages your business already uses.
Every answer ships with the source paragraph. If DEM doesn't know, it says so — instead of inventing.
A single workstation with a consumer GPU is enough for most SMEs. No data-centre, no Kubernetes, no SRE team required.
PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, EML, MSG, ODT, CSV. The formats your business actually has on disk.
Who asked what, when, and what answer they got — exportable for auditors, DPOs, and the occasional curious manager.
For regulated workloads: disconnect the WAN, DEM keeps working. Updates ship as signed offline bundles.
One-time licence plus optional annual support. Unlimited users, unlimited documents, unlimited queries — no per-seat tax. All tiers include the full product; the difference is how much hand-holding.
€4,990 one-time
Self-install. Ideal for teams under 30 with an IT lead or competent MSP.

Regulated sectors: 150–500 person firms, on-site delivery, EU AI Act compliance pack.
No. The default deployment is a single workstation with a consumer GPU (e.g. RTX 4070-class) sitting in your server room or under a desk. We help you size it on the demo call.
DEM keeps working. The model, the index, and the UI all live on your LAN. The internet is only used for software updates (and the Sovereign tier doesn't even need that).
An open-weights model selected for European-language quality and on-prem feasibility. We pin a specific version per release so behaviour doesn't drift mid-quarter. We can run customer- specific models on the Sovereign tier.
DEM is a general-purpose AI system used as a knowledge tool — not a high-risk system in the Act's sense. We provide transparency documentation, model cards, and an audit log to support your internal AI governance. We're not your lawyers, but we make compliance easier rather than harder.
Only what their folder permissions allow. DEM respects the same access controls your file shares already enforce, and role-based filters can further restrict by document tag.
One click in the admin UI removes the document and every embedding derived from it. We log the deletion for your DPO's records.
A small SME with a few hundred thousand documents is usually live in two to five working days, including the first round of ingestion. Bigger archives take longer to ingest — but DEM is answering questions while it ingests.
Twenty minutes, no slides. Tell us what your business does and where your documents live. We'll tell you whether DEM fits — honestly.
