Sovereign AI appliance · Malaysia-first

Enterprise AI that never leaves the building, and never needed a GPU to get there.

Residion answers questions from your own documents and runs back-office work under approval gates, entirely inside your network, on the CPU servers you already own.

Regulated enterprises want AI. Compliance won't let the data leave.

Banks, insurers, government agencies, and capital markets firms across Southeast Asia face the same constraint: sensitive data cannot reach public clouds. Yet staff still paste confidential documents into public AI tools on personal devices. Compliance teams cannot see or control that shadow AI.

Public AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) Data leaves the building, breaching data-residency and sector rules. Result: shadow AI on personal devices.
DIY self-hosted models Requires scarce MLOps talent the organisation doesn't have. Becomes a perpetual integration project.
Generic chatbots No knowledge of your policies, data, or workflows. Cannot pass a regulator's review.

A sovereign AI appliance you install, not an integration project you staff.

Residion delivers company-aware AI (assistant, retrieval-augmented document Q&A, and back-office automation) entirely inside the customer's network, on the CPU servers they already own. No GPU required. Built on provenance-clean MIT and Apache open source with governance a regulated buyer demands, designed into the product from day one.

Company-aware assistant Grounded answers from your own knowledge base, with the source cited on every answer.
Document Q&A Retrieval benchmarked on independent public financial-QA datasets. Filters answers by entity and reporting period, built for financial documents.
Approval-gated automation Graduated autonomy from Suggest to Assist to Automate, with risk-classified human approval gates.
Structured-data Q&A Read-only, RBAC-scoped text-to-SQL with server-injected access filters, injection-resistant by construction.

Five pillars that survive technical due diligence

Your auditor can verify every one of these without taking our word for it.

Sovereignty by construction

The cloud control plane has no API path that can receive customer content. The boundary is structural and provable to an auditor, verified by automated boundary tests rather than asserted. Ask us to run them in your briefing.

CPU-first economics

Runs on the customer's existing CPU servers. GPU is an optional accelerator, never a prerequisite, which removes the biggest cost and procurement barrier for a regulated buyer.

Governance that closes contracts

PII redaction, layered injection defence, grounding enforcement, exportable audit trail, RBAC on every surface, and signed agent skills. Ships validation-ready control mappings for PDPA, EU AI Act, and OWASP-LLM.

Components your security team can screen

Provenance-clean open source with opinionated defaults, designed for one-command install, and vertical packs layered on best-of-breed components. Every piece is screened for BFSI supply-chain review.

SEA / regulated fit

Malaysia-first connectors (SQL Account, AutoCount), model selection weighted for SEA-language strength across Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, Tamil, Thai, and Vietnamese, and a BFSI pack whose KYC workflow screens names against the public OFAC SDN list. Built for the region's regulated buyers.

How the sovereignty boundary works

Residion is four components across three concentric trust rings. The governing invariant: only management metadata may cross from the trusted core to the cloud. Customer documents, queries, embeddings, and inference never leave the building.

Ring 1: Cloud (optional, untrusted)

Fleet management metadata only. Holds no sensitive data. The product runs fully without it.

Ring 2: DMZ (on-prem, semi-trusted)

The only outward-facing components: console broker and conversational agent gateway, both scope-restricted.

Ring 3: Trusted core (on-prem, never internet-facing)

Server, client app, and all customer data. Sealed. All sensitive processing happens here and stays here.

Ask us to show you the endpoint that could leak customer content. There isn't one. The single on-prem to cloud channel is bound to a closed metadata schema. Air-gapped operation is first-class: you drop Ring 1 entirely and the appliance self-sizes with zero cloud link.

We'll walk you through the boundary and run the tests with you. We reply within two business days.

Built for regulated Southeast Asia

Residion is designed for enterprises where data residency, auditability, and procurement discipline are the starting requirements.

Banking & financial services (BFSI)
Insurance & takaful
Government & GLC
Healthcare
Capital markets

These are the sectors we build for. We have no customers in them yet; pilot partners are priced and supported accordingly.

What we prove, and what we don't yet claim

Everything we demo is real, running code, live-validated in our integrated local stack, and we'll show you the sovereignty boundary tests. What we don't yet claim: throughput numbers (our CPU bake-off is in progress), certifications (we ship control mappings and validation-ready evidence, not certificates), or production deployments (you'd be a pilot partner, priced and supported accordingly).

Request a briefing or pilot access

Access is arranged per organisation. There is no public self-serve signup. Tell us about your environment and compliance requirements; we'll walk you through the sovereignty boundary and the live-validated local demo.
