Private AI for private firms.
Your client book is the most proprietary thing your firm owns. Vaulden builds the Keep: a machine that lives in your office and runs a complete AI assistant over your records. Briefings, alerts, drafted emails, booked reviews. It connects to the CRM you already run. Nothing leaves the building, and nothing is sent without a human's approval.
The whole stack runs on the Keep, in your office. No cloud tenancy, and no outside model API ever sees a client's name.
Connected to a legacy CRM, Vaulden never edits, merges, or deletes a record. Your book stays exactly as your people keep it.
Every email is a draft until an advisor sends it. Every meeting is a proposal until an advisor books it.
An append-only audit log captures who did what, from which records, with which facts. Books and records, by construction.
The premise
Every professional firm is being sold AI right now, and nearly all of it comes with the same quiet condition: send us your client data and trust us with it. For a wealth manager, that data is the business. The holdings, the family situations, the notes from twenty years of reviews. It is exactly the information a firm should be least willing to pipe into someone else's cloud.
Vaulden takes the opposite bet. The intelligence comes to the data, not the other way around. The models run on your hardware. The facts are computed by ordinary code that can be read, tested, and audited, and each alert carries the evidence behind it. The model is only allowed to phrase what the code already established. It never picks the records, never does the math, and never decides what is true.
We build for wealth management first, because no industry answers harder questions from regulators. But the shape of the product fits any firm whose client records are its livelihood.
The Keep
In a castle, the keep is the innermost stronghold: the room the walls exist for. Ours is a small, silent machine that arrives configured and plugs into your office network. Everything Vaulden does happens inside it.
Install is an afternoon, not a project. Power, network, done. The Keep finds your CRM over your own LAN, takes a read-only snapshot, and builds your first briefing the same day. No firm-wide migration, no retraining, no new logins for every advisor.
Ownership means what it used to. The Keep is your property on your premises. There is no per-seat meter running, no data processing addendum to negotiate, and no terms-of-service update that can change what happens to your book.
How it holds
One adapter per CRM. The only code that knows your vendor exists. It returns a normalized snapshot where every fact is tagged with its source record. Switching CRMs means swapping one adapter, not the product.
A deterministic core. Pure functions turn the snapshot into alerts, each with a structured evidence object: the record, the dates, the fields at fault, and the rule's own text.
A guarded model. The local model phrases facts it is handed. A deterministic guard then scans every output and blocks investment advice, performance claims, and unfaithful numbers before a person ever sees them.
What it does
The morning briefing
Open the workspace to your day: who's overdue, what's due soon, which approvals are waiting on you, and what's on the calendar. Assembled from your records, not generated from thin air.
Evidence-backed alerts
Reviews overdue and coming due, households with no email on file, records missing a primary contact. Each alert cites the exact records and dates behind it, and each one can be explained in plain language on demand.
Email, drafted and grounded
Ask for outreach and Vaulden composes a real email from the household's record and the conversation at hand. You edit it in place and you press send. Delivery goes through your own mail server, and the send is logged.
Meetings, proposed and booked
"Book the Chen household Wednesday at 11." Vaulden resolves the household, the date, and the time in code, stages the meeting, and books it to Google Calendar the moment you approve. Overdue clients can be swept into proposals in one pass.
A grounded assistant
Ask anything about your book. The core computes the true answer first; the model only makes it conversational. If the model strays, the exact answer is shown instead. You can see which one you got.
Fast, because it's yours
The Keep is a single machine on your own network. There is no vendor queue in front of your question, no per-seat metering behind it, and no status page between you and your book. The deterministic core answers in milliseconds; the local model answers in seconds; and you choose the model, trading speed for depth from a menu on the settings screen.
Reliability is a floor, not a feature. If the model ever misbehaves, the exact deterministic answer stands in for it. If the internet goes out, the briefing still builds. Your data was already in the room.
The whole firm runs on one machine you own. No cloud tenancy, no data processing addendum, no per-seat bill.
No external model APIs, no telemetry, no phone-home. The only network the Keep needs is yours.
Refreshes, answers, drafts, approvals, sends, bookings. If it happened, it's in the ledger.
Where it's going
The workspace
Briefing, alerts, grounded chat, drafted email with human send, and Google Calendar booking behind approval. Running today on synthetic data.
Meeting notes
Record a client review, transcribe it on the Keep, and get minutes plus follow-ups filed as drafts against the household. Nothing enters the record until an advisor signs off, like everything else here.
Inbox triage
Read the shared inbox locally, match threads to households, surface the ones that need an advisor today, and stage grounded replies for approval.
More CRMs, one adapter each
Redtail, Wealthbox, and Salesforce adapters behind the same boundary. The rules, the guard, and the workspace don't change; only the adapter does.
Review packets & compliance exports
One-click preparation for the annual review: the household's facts, history, and open items in a packet, plus exportable audit trails for your examiners.
The whole firm on one Keep
Per-advisor workspaces, roles, and approvals with a shared audit spine, still on the single machine in your office.
Put a Keep in the building.
We're working with a small number of RIAs and boutique wealth firms to shape the pilot program. It runs on synthetic data until your compliance review says otherwise, which is exactly how we'd want it if we were you.
