Why does owning the AI stack matter?

ibl.ai is the agentic AI platform where you own all the code and the data. You self-host the entire stack inside your own perimeter, run it model-agnostic across any LLM and switch anytime, and pay by usage with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere: your cloud, on-premise, GovCloud, or fully air-gapped.

  • You own all the code and the data

    Full source code under a perpetual license, running on your infrastructure. Not API access to someone else's platform — the stack itself is yours.

  • Model-agnostic

    Run any LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Command, or your own fine-tune — and switch providers without rewriting the platform.

  • No per-seat pricing

    Usage-based billing against a budget cap you set. Cost tracks what your organization actually uses, not how many people you employ.

  • Deploy anywhere

    Your cloud, your VPC, on-premise, GovCloud, or a fully air-gapped network with no outbound connectivity.

1.6M+ users across 400+ organizations run the platform this way, including NVIDIA, MIT, and Syracuse University.

ibl.ai is family-owned and operated from New York, NY — a U.S.-headquartered, domestically-owned long-term partner, not a vendor that sells licenses and moves on.

Work with our team

Pilots, deployment, and full ownership

Most enterprise engagements are one-time, not subscriptions. You integrate ibl.ai with your own data, deploy it on your own infrastructure, and the engineering hours scale with the work — so the price tracks the scope, not your headcount.

Start here

Pilot

from $15K

fixed scope · fixed timeline

A time-boxed proof of value on your real data — not a slide deck.

Best for: Teams that want to see ibl.ai working before committing.

  • Deployed on your infrastructure or our cloud
  • 1–2 production agents wired to a slice of your data
  • One integration (LMS / SIS / SSO / data source)
  • Weekly working sessions with our engineers
