What is basebox?

basebox is an AI platform for organizations whose data must not go to external AI services – hospitals, public authorities, finance, defence. It brings AI chat, document processing, knowledge bases, speech transcription, custom apps, connectors to business systems and an OpenAI-compatible API into an environment whose boundaries you know.

What basebox does

  • Chat with current language models, including adjustable reasoning effort
  • Documents – upload, read (including scans via text recognition), generate (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Knowledge bases – answers from your own documents, with citations
  • Apps – pre-configured assistants for recurring tasks, no coding required
  • Connectors – wiki, ticket system, web search and other systems, with each person's own permissions
  • Speech – dictation of up to one hour, transcription of audio files
  • Administration – users, groups, models, audit log, organization-wide instructions
  • API – OpenAI-compatible and REST, for your own integrations

How basebox is built

basebox consists of three layers that must be considered separately:

basebox platform       UI, apps, permissions, audit, APIs, connectors
        ↓
Service models         Embeddings, RAG, OCR, speech-to-text, other AI services
        ↓
Inference              The language model itself

The platform does not need large GPU resources. Only the service models and above all inference determine how much GPU power a system needs. A statement like "basebox requires two H200s" is therefore misleading – the hardware follows the chosen model and expected load, not basebox. More under Understand the architecture.

How basebox is offered

Which of these environments you use and what that means for you: Which basebox environment am I using?
