Switchboard
API and integration boundary
Connects existing systems to Powerhouse through scoped APIs and integration surfaces. It defines what enters the workflow layer and what each actor can access.
Architecture
Architecture for owned AI workflow software.
Powerhouse turns private operational work into structured, inspectable software. The named components below support that outcome; they are not the homepage story on their own.
Brand roles
One platform, one delivery path, one deployment layer.
Powerhouse
Open-source platform
The foundation for building owned operational software from typed workflow objects, operation history, APIs, and user-facing workspace surfaces.
BAI
First-workflow delivery team
The delivery team behind the first workflow engagement: operating model, first deployment, and handover.
Vetra
Tooling and deployment layer
The environment for packaging modules, deploying Powerhouse software, and operating cloud or self-hosted deployments.
System flow
From scattered private work to governed AI assistance.
The architecture is easiest to understand as a sequence: connect the sources, structure the workflow, scope AI assistance, then keep humans accountable for decisions.
01
Existing systems
Documents, email, spreadsheets, ERP, HRIS, finance tools, identity, storage, and line-of-business systems.
02
Structured workflow layer
Typed objects, valid operations, permissions, approval gates, and event history define how the work can move.
03
Scoped AI assistance
AI can extract, classify, compare, draft, and flag within the workflow boundary it has been granted.
04
Human operation
Operators work in the same software surface, approve consequential actions, and retain accountability.
Supporting components
Component names belong here, after the workflow is clear.
Connect
Operator workspace
The browser workspace where teams review, edit, approve, and operate structured workflow objects with real-time collaboration.
Clint
AI agent infrastructure
Runs workflow-specific AI assistance through bounded tools, process playbooks, model choices, and escalation rules.
Renown
Identity and attribution
Governs human users, agents, integrations, and permissions so operations can be attributed to the actor that performed them.
Fusion
Custom software surface
Turns the workflow layer into branded internal or external applications, dashboards, reports, and role-specific portals.
Vetra
Deployment tooling
Packages, hosts, and operates Powerhouse modules and deployments across cloud or self-hosted environments.
Ownership model
The architecture is designed to keep exit paths open.
Every engagement still needs environment-specific review, but the default design goal is practical ownership rather than dependency on a single vendor interface.
Deployment
Cloud, private cloud, or self-hosted options depending on workflow sensitivity.
Data model
Typed schemas and portable JSON data instead of proprietary workflow records.
Model choice
Local or commercial models can be selected by workflow boundary and data sensitivity.
Auditability
Operation history is part of the workflow state, with human and AI-assisted actions attributable.
Adoption path
Start beside existing systems; move one private workflow into owned software first.
Start with the boundary
Assess the first private workflow before choosing components.
We identify the workflow, source systems, approval model, data boundaries, and deployment path. Component choices follow from that assessment.
