Hi Product Hunt 👋

I’m Tudor, founder of Cortex Research.

One challenge we kept hearing from organisations adopting AI is the risk around cross-border data access.

Many AI platforms are operated by US providers, which means enterprise data may fall under the US CLOUD Act. In practice, this can allow government access to company or customer data held by those providers, regardless of where the infrastructure is physically located.

For organisations working with sensitive data, finance, healthcare, legal, government, or enterprise IP this creates real compliance and governance concerns. We built the Vera Platform and our models to address this. Vera is a UK-native AI agent platform, built and hosted in the United Kingdom, designed for organisations that need AI capabilities without exposing sensitive data to cross-border access risks.

The platform lets individuals and teams work with specialised AI agents that can:

• research the web

• analyse business data and generate dashboards

• write and review code

• automate operational workflows

• integrate with tools like Gmail, Google Drive, and Slack

Our goal is to make it possible for UK organisations and professionals to adopt powerful AI systems while keeping control of where their data lives and who can access it without needing to rely on US models and companies.

We’re very interested in hearing how others are thinking about data sovereignty, compliance, and AI adoption inside organisations.

Happy to answer any questions or feedback.
