The AI-Ready Workspace for External Collaboration

Share documents securely with clients, auditors, and partners. Then unlock powerful AI insights from your trusted data. Professional-grade security with deterministic AI workflows that deliver repeatable results.

File Storage is not a System of Record

Business is complicated. Requirements change. Teams iterate. Internal collaboration gets messy.
Your stakeholders expect reliable facts. Your AI depends on them.

Keep the chaos inside your work, not in front of your stakeholders.
A system of record gives your team, your partners, and your AI a single source of truth.

External Partners Need Authoritative Documents

Clients, auditors, and consultants need finalized, authoritative documents—not a folder full of versions. File storage can’t tell Project_draft.docx from the version you actually approved. Clear Ideas is your source of truth.

Professional Relationships Need Professional Infrastructure

Sharing sensitive documents with clients through their personal email account? That's awkward. Mixed-use file storage where business and personal files live side-by-side? That's unprofessional. Clear Ideas gives you dedicated infrastructure for external collaboration.

Deterministic AI Needs Your Source of Truth

Feed AI version chaos, get unreliable results. In a folder full of drafts and finals, your AI can’t tell which one is correct, so it uses them all. Deterministic AI requires an immutable system of record.

This Is How AI Should Work

Clear Ideas becomes your authoritative system of record for unstructured data. Connect to AI and get deterministic results grounded in verified data. Clear Ideas works with built-in AI models and enhances the AI tools you already use through direct integrations.

Your System of Record Powers Everything

Finalized, immutable documents become your authoritative source of truth. Everyone, internal teams, external partners, and AI, works from the same verified data. No version confusion. No inconsistent results. Just reliable intelligence from accurate data.

No AI Model Lock-In. Your Choice, Your Control.

Access leading AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cohere, and xAI, all through one platform. Choose the best model for each task without separate subscriptions or vendor lock-in. It works from day one and grows with you as AI evolves.

Deterministic AI Workflows You Control
