About

VATES is AI knowledge infrastructure for organizations that need reliable answers from information they control. It keeps knowledge structured, human-readable, and directly editable instead of turning it into opaque vector embeddings. Changes can be reflected in AI responses without rebuilding or re-indexing a vector database. VATES can be used as a standalone conversational interface, embedded into an existing website, or integrated into products and AI workflows through its API. Answers are multilingual and traceable to their underlying knowledge sources. It is designed for operational knowledge such as internal procedures, product information, policies, manuals, and customer support where accuracy, ownership, and traceability matter. The architecture is informed by publicly available research published as DOI-indexed preprints, with the author's research record maintained through ORCID. VATES uses prepaid, usage-based billing with no required monthly subscription.
