The permission-aware answer layer

Cited answers from your docs — with source permissions enforced before retrieval.

Braize answers questions from your website and your files with a citation on every claim — and enforces each source's permissions inside the search, before an answer is generated. Add a source once, then use it from the dashboard, a REST API, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and MCP (beta) for your agents.

Free while in beta — no credit card. Hosted in Europe.

How Braize works, in thirty seconds

Sources connect, you ask a question, and a cited answer arrives the same answer over the dashboard, the REST API, and MCP — no glue. The controls below let you scrub, pause, or restart.

The product, plainly

What is our product?

Braize is a permission-aware answer layer that turns your company sources into permission-aware, cited answers your developers and agents call over a REST API, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and MCP.

Sources sync into a regional workspace brain, pass freshness and ACL checks, then return cited answers over your API and agents.

How does it help?

It removes the operational work of keeping your answers accurate, permission-safe, and traceable to the source of truth.

Connect sources once

Website pages, uploaded files, and Google Drive build one workspace-scoped knowledge base today; Notion, Slack, Zendesk, Intercom, SharePoint, and OneDrive sync are on the way.

Keep knowledge current

Re-ingest a source and its answers update; every document carries a freshness score and a last-indexed status. (Automated change detection, conflict alerts, and staleness prediction are on the roadmap.)

Filter before retrieval

Workspace, region, user identity, groups, and public scope travel with every request, so unauthorized content is never retrieved.

Answer with proof

Every response is grounded in source documents and returned with citations that customers, employees, and auditors can inspect.

Serve your surfaces

The same brain answers over the REST API and the MCP agent endpoint today; the web widget, WhatsApp, a Slack app, and a helpdesk feed are on the way.

Stay region-bound

Each workspace has one isolated regional data store; processing policy controls where inference is allowed to run.

What Braize does

Connect your knowledge

Live today: your Website, Files, and Google Drive — permission-aware. Coming soon: Notion, Slack, Zendesk, Intercom, SharePoint, OneDrive.

Answer where you build

Live today: a REST API and an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. MCP for agents is in beta; the web widget, WhatsApp and Slack apps are on the way.

Keep it current

Re-ingest a source and Braize updates its answers. Every document carries a 0–100 freshness score and shows its last-indexed status, so you can see what's current. (Automated change-detection is on the roadmap.)

How it works (the technical version)

Sources → Permission-aware retrieval → Cited answers

Each stage is independent, so we can scale or replace one without disturbing the others. Region and workspace context travel with every request — your data never lands in the wrong place.

Who Braize is for

Four teams, four problems Braize solves

Support and operations teams

E-commerce and customer support

When a policy changes, the answers customers get should change with it — no stale quotes, no manual re-training.

When you re-ingest the changed document, Braize updates its answers and links every answer back to its source file. Cited answers serve over the REST API today; the web widget and WhatsApp are on the way.

REST API · MCP · widget (soon)

Platform and integration engineers

B2B SaaS and developer platforms

Expose your knowledge to customers' AI agents without building and maintaining several separate auth flows.

Braize exposes a secure, region-pinned API endpoint that AI agents can discover and use. Permissions travel with each request — agents see only what the end user is allowed to see, enforced per request.

REST API · MCP

Internal-tools and IT teams

HR, IT, and employee enablement

Employees ask public questions in chat, but some answers should only reach people allowed to see private folders.

Braize enforces access permissions at answer time as a pre-filter inside retrieval — each employee sees only what their identity is allowed to access, never more. Google Drive syncs those permissions today (per-file sharing grants); Notion and Slack sync are on the way.

Security and compliance leaders

Regulated and data-sensitive industries

Keep both data and inference inside an approved region, and restrict processing to zero-data-retention endpoints.

Each workspace is one isolated store in one region. Choose which regions inference may run in and require zero-data-retention endpoints — enforced as a hard rule, never a silent fallback.

FAQ

How does Braize avoid making things up?

Every factual claim links back to its source. A groundedness check audits every answer; ≥90% grounded is the target. When the knowledge base doesn't cover a question, Braize says 'I don't know' rather than guess.

What does 'region-pinned' actually mean?

Each workspace lives in one isolated data store in your chosen region. Embeddings — which are personal data — never leave that store. Logs, analytics, backups, none of it.

How fresh is the answer?

Re-ingest a source to update its answers — the answer cache clears when the document changes, not on a clock. Every document carries a 0–100 freshness score and shows its last-indexed status. Automated change-detection across your sources is on the roadmap.

Can Braize see my employee's private files?

Only what they're allowed to see. Braize checks permissions before it searches — the access filter lives inside the retrieval query, not after the fact — so people only ever see content their assigned access already lets them see. As source connectors land, they mirror the source's own permissions into that same pre-filter.

Which surfaces can I use today?

Configure the knowledge once, then use it through the dashboard, a REST endpoint, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or the agent endpoint over MCP (in beta). The web widget, WhatsApp, and Slack apps follow as they ship. Same brain, every mouth.

What about hallucinations from prompt injection?

Ingested content is scrubbed before indexing — HTML stripped, hidden instructions removed. Retrieved content is then treated as data, not instructions, at answer time.

How do I switch language?

Open Profile, then Language. You can choose English (the default) or Persian (Farsi, with right-to-left text). Your choice follows you across devices and is saved to your profile.

Why one region per workspace?

Data residency is built in. When you pick a region for your workspace, we enforce that choice — your data and AI inference stay in that region, and we refuse unsafe alternatives rather than falling back silently. This keeps you clearly aligned with UAE PDPL and EU GDPR.
