Questions, answered straight.

What already works, where your data sits, and what you can check yourself.

In plain words

The questions we get most often, answered briefly — without the sales pitch.

Yours not here? Ask it at the bottom of the page.

Product & status
What is Provenize?

A helper that remembers your documents on your own computer, and gives you two things you can check: where every answer comes from, and a logbook of everything that happened. It works with whichever AI assistant you use.

What exists today?Built

The engine that does the work: remembering, searching, and giving every answer its source. It works — but only as a part that developers build into their own program. The program you would install yourself, Provenize Desktop, does not exist yet.

When is v1.0?

We do not promise a date. The engine is nearly finished; design partners see every step before anyone else.

Is Desktop usable now?Planned

No. There is an internal prototype. Every picture of it on this site is marked as a concept — not a screenshot of something you can download.

Who is it for?

First for penetration testers and security teams, then for lawyers and compliance staff. What they share: work that must stay confidential.

Data & privacy
Does my data leave my machine?Built

No. Your files, the search index built from them, and the logbook all stay on your own computer.

What does an external model see?Built

Only your question and the few sentences that answer it. Never the whole document.

Can it run fully offline?Built

Yes, if you use a model that runs on your own computer. Outside AI services are a choice, never a requirement.

Are client names sent to a model?Built

Before anything goes to an outside model, names, email addresses and ID numbers can be swapped for a label, and swapped back afterwards. Two honest notes: this is a step the software builder has to switch on, not something that happens by itself — and it does not catch everything yet, especially names with accents or double surnames.

Do you host anything of ours?

No. We do not store anything of yours, and no outside AI service sits at the heart of the product.

Proof & audit
What happens without a source?Built

Then nothing comes back. Every result names its source: which file, which page, and how well it matches. One honest limit: Provenize cannot stop the AI model itself from talking — but an answer without a source is immediately visible as such.

How would an auditor verify the log?Built

With one check that recalculates the whole logbook. Every change, insertion or deletion shows up. The totals carry a digital signature, so they cannot be quietly swapped either.

Can we erase a client and keep the proof?Built

Yes. Each person has their own key; throw the key away and their data can no longer be read, while the logbook still checks out. You receive a signed receipt of the erasure. One open point we name out loud: if the name also appears literally in a record about several people, that record stays.

Can an auditor check without installing Provenize?Planned

Not yet. A separate checking tool, for people who do not use Provenize themselves, is on the roadmap.

AI providers & tooling
Am I locked into one model vendor?Built

No. You can switch the AI model, and Provenize keeps working.

Can Claude and GPT share one memory?Built

Yes, since 28 August. Your memory lives on your own computer; any AI tool that supports the connection can search it, save into it and record corrections. Not yet: adding documents through that connection, or connecting over a network — those come later.

Does it run scans or attacks?Planned

Never. It can read the reports your scanning tools produce; it does not run anything itself.

Does it work for a team?Built

Yes. A shared version exists for a team, where each person sees only what they are allowed to see, per case.

Compliance & access
Does this make us GDPR compliant?

No. It helps you meet your data-protection duties and prove that you did. Being compliant is something your organisation does, not something software can hand you.

Is there a compliance document set?Planned

Planned, to be written with a lawyer. We would rather say that than pretend it already exists.

How do I get access?

Through the Design Partner Program — 25 places, helping shape version 1.0.

What does it cost to join?

Nothing during the partner phase. We ask for 30 to 60 minutes of feedback per round, and real situations from your work.
