What is Ardie?

Ardie is a knowledge infrastructure service that allows individuals and organisations to turn documents, websites, and other authorised sources into secure, reusable knowledge bases accessed via APIs. Instead of locking knowledge into a single chatbot or application, Ardie separates knowledge ingestion, retrieval, and access control from user interfaces and language models. Knowledge bases can be queried by websites, internal tools, chat interfaces, agents, and external applications using standard APIs—enabling the same curated knowledge to be reused consistently across many contexts.

The Problem

Organisations increasingly rely on AI systems, but their knowledge is:
  • Scattered across documents and websites
  • Duplicated across multiple tools
  • Difficult to control, audit, and share
  • Costly to re-ingest and maintain
Most “chatbot” solutions bundle ingestion, retrieval, and generation together, making knowledge hard to reuse, hard to govern, and expensive to scale.

How Ardie Solves This

Structured Ingestion

Transform documents and web sources into queryable knowledge bases with proper indexing and metadata.

Controlled Access

API keys, permissions, and usage limits ensure you control who accesses your knowledge and how much.

High-Quality Retrieval

Vector search with citations and provenance—every answer traces back to its source.

Flexible Consumption

Use knowledge bases in chatbots, forms, workflows, research tools, or agent systems.

Cost Control

Token-based subscriptions, managed or bring-your-own embedding options, and optional local processing.

Marketplace Model

Share or sell access to knowledge bases. Consumers pay only for the access and usage they need.

Who Is Ardie For?

Organisations

Need a reliable knowledge layer for websites, internal tools, and AI systems.

Developers

Need a clean retrieval API to plug into any RAG pipeline.

Content Owners

Want to package and license knowledge as a reusable digital asset.

What Makes Ardie Different

Ardie is not a chatbot. It is a knowledge layer that chatbots and other systems can use.
By decoupling knowledge from presentation and generation, Ardie supports better governance, reuse, and long-term sustainability of AI-powered systems.
