What is Zylon?
Zylon is an enterprise AI platform delivering private generative AI and on-premise AI software for regulated industries, enabling secure deployment inside enterprise infrastructure without external cloud dependencies. It is the only truly private AI platform designed specifically for regulated industries, running 100% on-premise in your data center or private cloud, including fully air-gapped deployments. Your data never touches external servers, ensuring complete data sovereignty and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Key features include single-command deployment ready in under one week, unlimited AI usage with no per-token pricing or usage limits, and full stack control with LLMs, vector search, document ingestion, API Gateway, and Workspace all included. The platform provides OpenAI-compatible endpoints for developers to build custom agents and automate workflows, while teams can use Workspace to ask questions, generate documents, and search company knowledge. Zylon integrates with existing systems including SharePoint, and supports both low-level ZylonGPT API and high-level Workspace API.
Zylon is designed for financial institutions, engineering firms, manufacturers, healthcare organizations, defense contractors, and public-sector organizations that manage sensitive or confidential information. It is ideal for enterprises requiring strict data governance, auditability, and regulatory compliance who cannot use cloud-based AI due to internal security policies, industry regulations, or data sovereignty requirements. The platform is built by the creators of PrivateGPT, the open-source project with 57,000+ GitHub stars used by Google, Meta, and J.P. Morgan.
Zylon pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Zylon uses a fixed-cost, unlimited usage pricing model with no per-token fees or usage limits. The platform license requires contacting Zylon for custom pricing. Infrastructure costs are one-time CapEx for GPU servers that you own. Updates and support are included in the platform license. Unlike cloud AI services that charge $30/user/month plus variable API usage fees (which can be 10x the subscription cost), Zylon provides unlimited AI interactions with fixed, predictable costs. There is no free tier - this is an enterprise-only platform for regulated industries.

Frequently asked questions about Zylon
Why can't we just block ChatGPT and other AI tools?
Blocking AI tools doesn't prevent productivity loss or shadow IT adoption. Employees will find workarounds anyway. Zylon provides a safe, controlled alternative that gives your organization the productivity benefits of AI while maintaining complete data privacy and governance within your own infrastructure.
What makes it different from Microsoft Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is a SaaS solution that sends data to Microsoft's cloud, even with enterprise plans. Zylon is 100% on-premise - your data never leaves your infrastructure, including AI models. You have full control over configurations, models, and deployments, whereas Copilot locks you into Microsoft's architecture and update schedule.
How long does deployment really take?
Zylon features single-command deployment and is production-ready in under one week, often in less than 3 hours. There are no lengthy integration projects required. The platform comes pre-configured with optimized document ingestion pipelines, LLM parameters, and GPU memory allocation out of the box.
Where does our data actually go?
Your data never leaves your premises. Zylon runs entirely on-premise, including AI models, ensuring complete data sovereignty. Whether you deploy in your data center, private cloud VPC (AWS, Azure, GCP), or fully air-gapped environment, all processing happens within your infrastructure with zero external dependencies.
What if regulations change?
Zylon's white-box architecture gives you complete access and control. Your compliance team can audit every component, your infrastructure team can observe every process, and your technical experts can modify any parameter. You can swap models, adjust configurations to fit new requirements, and integrate with tools without vendor dependency.
What hardware do we need?
Zylon requires GPU servers for on-premise deployment. The platform supports bare metal and virtual private cloud setups. Specific hardware requirements depend on your infrastructure and use cases, but Zylon comes pre-optimized with GPU memory allocation and LLM parameters tuned for maximum performance. Contact Zylon for detailed hardware requirements based on your organization's needs.
What happens if we already built custom AI tools?
Zylon allows companies to use its platform to build any custom AI solution. You can integrate Zylon with existing custom tools, use the API Gateway to build custom agents on top of Zylon's Platform API, and leverage OpenAI-compatible endpoints as a drop-in replacement for cloud AI services in your existing applications.
Is this only for technical teams?
No. While developers use the API Gateway to build custom workflows, regular teams use Zylon Workspace to ask questions, generate documents, and search company knowledge without any technical expertise. If you can use ChatGPT, you can use Zylon. No formal training is required - the interface is designed to be intuitive for knowledge workers.
How do you handle updates and new models?
Updates and support are included in the platform license. With Zylon's white-box approach, you're not locked into their update schedule - you can swap models whenever you want and adjust configurations to fit new requirements. You own, understand, and control the platform as if you built it in-house.
