Edge-to-cloud data management. Embedded AI included.
Process data locally. Run AI features offline. Sync with the cloud. Zen combines relational data, vector search, semantic queries, and AI-agent connectivity in a single lightweight engine.
Build secure, distributed IoT apps. Now with embedded AI.
Process data locally, sync with the cloud, run semantic search on-prem, and deploy AI agents at the edge. Zen adds native vector search, hybrid relational+semantic queries, and LLM-agent connectivity, all without separate infrastructure.
Native AI, zero infrastructure
Ship AI search, RAG, and agent features directly into your applications: on-prem, at the edge, fully offline. No separate vector database. No cloud token fees.
Store and search 1M vectors natively in Zen
Your app needs semantic search. Instead of spinning up a separate vector database, store vectors directly in Zen alongside your relational data. Query them with standard SQL. No sync pipeline. No new infrastructure contract.
Works completely offline.
Relational filters + semantic similarity
Query “invoices similar to this dispute from Q3” in a single SQL statement. No bridging two systems. No fragile middleware. One engine, one result set.
MCP server built in
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini: all speak MCP. Zen ships with a native MCP server. Your AI agents query customer data, operational records, and inventory locally, immediately. No integration sprint.
Choose your interface
SQL developers use familiar query patterns. Vector teams keep their existing logic. Both hit the same engine. No rewrite. No migration.
RAG, vector search, AI agents. All air-gapped.
Manufacturing plants, hospitals, trading floors, military sites: environments where cloud solutions get disqualified. Zen runs the complete AI stack locally. No connectivity required. No data leaving the facility.
