Overview

ibl.ai gives universities and colleges their own AI, under their control β€” sovereign infrastructure to build agents and apps your institution fully owns. Run any model, from Claude, GPT, and Gemini to open-source, and switch as better or cheaper options emerge.

Unlike closed SaaS tools where you pay per seat and can’t change anything, you own all the code, data, and models β€” self-hosted on your infrastructure or ours. No need to choose build vs. buy: you get both, with our engineers building alongside your team.
