Catalyst AI

Catalyst AI


Catalyst is a production AI platform for teams that want the power of modern models without the fragility of demo-grade apps. It pairs a modern web experience with a persistent background service to deliver real-time chat and voice, retrieval across your knowledge base, proactive workflows, and deep integrations—while enforcing hard multi-tenant isolation and operational control from day one.

Under the hood, Catalyst is built like infrastructure: tenant-scoped data and configuration, model routing across providers, vector-backed RAG, tool orchestration with safety gates, and the observability and governance hooks needed to run AI safely in real environments. The result is AI that doesn't just "answer"—it operates: predictably, securely, and at scale.

If you're moving from prototype to production, Catalyst is the foundation that lets you ship fast and stay in control.

Frontend Ecosystem
  • Platform: Vercel (Next.js 16)
  • Apps: Chat Interface & Admin Dashboard
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS + Framer Motion
  • Production Ready

Security & Trust

Catalyst is built for environments where privacy and governance matter. The platform enforces hard tenant isolation across API access and storage, supports modern authentication (JWT + OAuth), and includes an encrypted file-handling pipeline for sensitive documents.

Operationally, it's designed to be auditable—so teams can reason about access, behavior, and system activity with confidence.

Operational Control

Catalyst isn't just an API—it includes a comprehensive Admin Dashboard for managing tenancy, routing logic, and system observability.

System Control

The command center for the Catalyst service runtime.

Model Defaults

Configure default AI models, reasoning effort, and verbosity globally.

Feature Toggles

Hot-swap Web Search, Proactive Messaging, and Tool integrations.

Background Loops

Monitor proactive agents, data fetchers, and checkpoint systems.

Voice Ops

Manage TTS/STT providers and voice model selection.

Zero-Dependency Philosophy

While many modern AI systems rely on heavy abstraction frameworks like LangChain,Catalyst implements its own lightweight LLM Router and Tool Runtime.

  • Deterministic Control

    We know exactly what prompt is sent, every time. No hidden prompt injection from library updates.

  • Hard Multi-Tenancy

    Built from day one to isolate data per-tenant via RLS, rather than retrofitting it.

  • Micro-Latency

    Essential for our Realtime Voice mode, where every millisecond of overhead counts.

Intelligence Engine

Advanced Reasoning

Native support for reasoning extraction from OpenAI o1/o3 and DeepSeek models, enabling complex problem solving before answering.

Server-Side Routing

Dynamic model selection per-tenant. Route simple queries to Flash models and complex reasoning to SOTA models automatically.

Proactive Intelligence

Background workers monitor data sources (Calendar, Email) to push context-aware suggestions via WebSocket.

Enterprise RAG

  • PostgreSQL + pgvector
  • Hybrid Search (Keyword + Semantic)
  • Multiple Vector Stores per Tenant
  • Server-side File Extraction (PDF/DOCX)
  • Encrypted Storage at Rest
  • Namespace Scoping

Integrations

  • Google Workspace: Gmail, Calendar, Drive (OAuth2)
  • Web Search: Real-time information retrieval
  • SQL Tools: Safe, read-only database querying

Platform Use Cases

For Individuals

A personal "Second Brain" that manages your calendar, drafts emails, remembers documents, and is available via voice while driving or walking.

For Enterprise

A secure, multi-tenant platform for deploying specialized agents to employees. Isolate data by department (Tenant) and project (Namespace).
