Alacene is building secure information infrastructure for organizations that need AI systems grounded in source truth — from private search and document intelligence to provenance-oriented RAG and local deployment.
Notes, tasks, tables and files are scattered across tools, and AI answers from them without pointing back to anything a person can check.
An answer that can't be traced to the text it came from can't be trusted by the people who have to act on it.
Documents, tasks and files live in separate tools, so no single place — and no assistant — sees the whole picture.
People still copy, paste and reconcile documents manually to get answers out of them.
Sending sensitive work to a third-party model is a risk many teams can't take.
One workspace where notes, tasks, tables, files and AI work are all blocks. Every block is searchable as you write, AI reads exactly the blocks you give it, and every answer cites them.
Not another chatbot.
AI works inside your documents, on the exact blocks you choose — not in a separate chat window.
Not another document tool.
What you write becomes searchable, citable context — for your team and for your AI.
Answers you can trace.
Every answer links to the exact blocks it used, so anyone can check it.
Everything is a block. Blocks are indexed as you write, AI assembles its context from the blocks you choose, and its answers return to the document as blocks you can edit, search and cite.
Alacene is currently building with select collaborators and strategic partners. Each capability is shipped as part of a single coherent infrastructure layer.
A search layer built from the ground up for secure, provenance-aware retrieval across humanity's knowledge.
Generate answers grounded in source documents, with citations, traceability and claim-level verification.
Parse, classify and structure complex documents — including PDFs, scans, tables, forms and enterprise files.
Deploy AI workflows in private, on-prem or air-gapped environments with a software and hardware stack.
Track where answers come from, how claims are supported and which sources were used at each step.
Build domain-specific assistants for analysts, engineers, researchers, legal teams and support workflows.
As organizations adopt generative AI, the limiting factor is no longer model access. It is whether the system can be trusted with sensitive information, audited, verified and deployed within operational constraints.
Workflows that act on AI output need a clear chain of evidence — not a confidence score attached to a paragraph.
Throughput is meaningless if outputs cannot be checked. Verification is a first-class primitive, not an afterthought.
Sensitive information must remain under organizational control. Local and air-gapped deployment is the default, not the upgrade.
Alacene is designed to operate inside your perimeter. Documents, models, search index and user workflows remain within an enterprise-controlled boundary.
Alacene is built by a founding team with backgrounds in applied AI, distributed retrieval and information products for high-trust environments.
Scientist and engineer with publications in Nature and collaborations with a Physics Nobel laureate. Former CERN engineer and LAMBDA researcher (HSE), with experience spanning materials science and principal data science, delivering Bayesian systems for live entertainment and pharmaceuticals. Specializes in interpretable ML for physical and high-stakes systems.
PhD researcher at MBZUAI and former Senior NLP researcher in industry. Published at A* conferences on retrieval-augmented generation, uncertainty in LLMs and trustworthy QA. Shipped a factual question-answering skill inside a commercial virtual assistant used at scale.
Core developer of PyMC and active NixOS contributor. Built large-scale training infrastructure for computer vision and led Bayesian engineering across pharmaceuticals, consumer goods and live streaming. Invited lecturer in Practical Bayes at Moscow State University.
