Bring your own AI
Works with the AI you already pay for
Cabinetruns on your existing model accounts and subscriptions. There’s no bundled inference marked up on top, and no new AI vendor to push through procurement. Point it at what your team already uses.

…plus local models, and whatever comes next.
Built for organizations
Designed to clear a security review
The people who sign off on new tools (security, legal, platform owners) should come away with less to worry about, not more.
In progress
SOC 2 Type II
We’re working toward it, and we’ll show you the report, not just a badge.

Self-hosted
Runs in your environment, under the controls you already enforce.

Not training data
Your prompts and content are never used to train a model.

Bring your own keys
Your model providers, your API keys. Inference never routes through us.

Audit log & git history
Every change to data and agents is versioned, diffable, and attributable.
Enterprise track
SSO & SCIM
SAML single sign-on and provisioning for teams that need it.

Your data residency
Self-hosted means your knowledge lives in your region, under your policies.

Principles
WhatCabinetisbuilt on
A few principles we think matter deeply for the future of AI + data tools. Every product decision gets weighed against these.

Own and export your data, anytime
Yours
Your knowledge base is plain markdown on disk, not rows in a vendor’s database. Move the folder and the whole cabinet moves with it. No export request, no proprietary format, no one between your team and its own files.
Yours=you can take everything and leave whenever you want.

Every change tracked and reversible
Git everything
Every save auto-commits, so your team can inspect diffs, review how knowledge evolved, and restore any page to an earlier state. The same accountability over your AI’s output that you expect from production code.
Git everything=nothing is ever silently lost or overwritten.

Use the AI you already pay for
BYOAI
Cabinet connects to the model accounts your organization already holds: Claude, Codex, OpenCode, local models, and whatever ships next. Spend flows through contracts you control, not a markup layered on top.
BYOAI=no second subscription and no per-seat AI markup.

Simple enough to audit
KISS
Plain files and predictable behavior mean there is no black box to take on faith. The system is small enough for your engineers to reason about and verify themselves. If a capability can’t be explained in a paragraph, it usually shouldn’t ship.
KISS=your engineers can verify exactly what it does.

Human approval before anything leaves
Security
Every dispatched task waits in a human approval queue before it sends an email, calls an API, or touches anything external. Exposure is limited by default, so giving agents autonomy never means giving up control.
Security=an agent never acts on the outside world unsupervised.

Runs in infrastructure you control
Self-hosted
Cabinet is self-hosted by default, so plans, research, and operating memory live where your existing policies already apply. The only data that leaves is the cloud-model call you explicitly invoke.
Self-hosted=your context stays inside your own environment.
If a feature would break any of these, it doesn’t make it in.
