Vera is a UK-native AI agent platform powered by Vera foundational models, designed to help teams automate complex work and accelerate decision-making.
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.

A lot of enterprises in finance, healthcare, and legal have been sitting out AI adoption specifically because of CLOUD Act exposure risk. Curious how the compliance story maps to GDPR Article 46 transfer mechanisms and whether you're targeting specific regulated sectors first.
Report
The focus on data sovereignty here is really interesting. Many organisations want to adopt AI but still worry about where their data is processed, so a platform designed around governance and compliance feels very relevant.
I also like the idea of multiple specialised agents handling research, analysis, and operational workflows instead of relying on a single general assistant.
Curious which industries you’re seeing the most early adoption from so far.
Congrats on the launch.
