How it works

Everything is a block. Blocks are indexed as you write, AI reads exactly the blocks you choose, and every answer cites them — then comes back into the document as blocks.

  1. 01

    Write

    • Text, tasks and tables as blocks
    • Real-time collaboration
    • A stable ID for every block
  2. 02

    Index

    • Searchable as you write
    • Keyword and semantic search
    • Results respect permissions
  3. 03

    Ask

    • AI reads the blocks you select
    • Only what you're allowed to see
    • Works with local models
  4. 04

    Cite

    • Answers cite exact blocks
    • Unknown citations rejected
    • Each run's context recorded
  5. 05

    Keep

    • Answers land as blocks
    • Edit, undo and search them
    • Indexed again next time
  6. Answers become context
Under the hood

A few simple parts, used everywhere.

The same building blocks carry every feature, so search, collaboration and AI always see the same content.

Blocks

Text, tasks, tables, files and AI work are all blocks with a stable ID, so anything can be referenced, searched and cited.

Real-time collaboration

Several people edit the same document at once, with presence and per-user undo.

Search as you write

Every block is indexed as it changes, with keyword and semantic search. Results are rechecked against permissions before anything is shown.

AI with citations

AI assembles its context from the blocks you select and cites the exact blocks it used. Its answers come back as blocks you can edit.

Isolation by design

Every workspace is isolated. Embeddings are computed inside the deployment, and local models are supported.

Files as blocks — in progress

Uploaded documents become pages, sections and tables you can search and cite. This is being built now.

Deployment

Designed for private and controlled environments.

Alacene is designed to operate inside your perimeter. Documents, models, search index and user workflows remain within an enterprise-controlled boundary.

  • Air-gapped deployment
  • Private data boundaries
  • Hardware/software bundle
  • Apple Silicon optimization
  • Enterprise-controlled flow
