AI that runs where your data lives.
webAI was founded in 2019 by a small team of engineers from Michigan who recognized early that the cloud was the wrong place for the most important AI. Sensitive, high-stakes applications — from healthcare to manufacturing to military operations — demanded intelligence that could run locally, with resilience, privacy, and ownership built in.
Today, webAI is the first end-to-end private AI platform. Enterprises use webAI to bring AI to their data, powering specialized intelligence trained on their own knowledge and compounding in value with every use. Our approach is guided by a simple philosophy: AI should be specialized, sovereign, efficient, and sustainable. It should solve real problems, not just burn more compute.
We believe the next era of AI will not be measured by parameter counts or traffic charts, but by impact: Risks avoided, time saved, lives improved. By 2030, billions of specialized models will operate as seamlessly as software does today, embedded in the systems that keep businesses, communities, and nations moving forward. That’s the operating system of the future, and we’re building it now.
