Concepts
The ideas behind CompanyWizard.
Nine concepts set CompanyWizard apart from the usual AI tools — explained here without the marketing fog. Each page names the concrete problem, the solution, an honest comparison, and the limits of the approach too.
- Data sovereignty Data sovereignty A dedicated single instance instead of shared cloud — fully offline on the desktop if you want.
- PII protection with audit PII protection Two-stage pseudonymisation before the model hand-off — with a tamper-evident audit log.
- Model freedom Model freedom A local LLM via Ollama or any cloud provider — chosen per task, with no markup on your own tokens.
- Knowledge base Knowledge base & RAG Semantic search via sqlite-vec, local and without an external database. Answers with sources instead of invention.
- Open architecture Open architecture CompanyWizard exposes its own MCP server and embeds local MCP servers (beta). Extensible via skills, without a restart.
- Transparency & security Transparency & security Every processing step visible in the activity sidebar — secured by RBAC, the PII pipeline, user-scoped OAuth and LDAP.
- Desktop-first Desktop-first The desktop client keeps data, tools, statistics and login local — and stays connected to the team via shared vaults, LDAP and messaging.
- Visual answers Visual answers Mermaid diagrams and charts right in the chat — safely declarative, shown identically in chat and knowledge base, exportable as an image and made permanently searchable with one click.
- Calendar integration (beta) Calendar integration On request, the assistant reads your calendar as context — read-only, across CalDAV and Microsoft 365, GDPR-friendly.
