Architecture

Designed for private enterprise deployment.

ClusterAI sits above your internal models, RAG systems, tools and inference runtimes. It provides routing, governance, health awareness, fallback and visibility — without replacing the components you already operate.

Layered architecture

From the user request to the audit trail.

Each layer has a clear responsibility. The exact deployment depends on the customer infrastructure and pilot scope.

01

Users

Employees interact through one familiar chat interface or future API integrations.

Web chatAPI (roadmap)
02

ClusterAI client

Builds the request, conversation context and governance metadata.

Context builderGovernance metadata
03

Routing & policy layer

Classifies the request, evaluates permissions, data zone, node health, saturation, fallback rules and capability fit.

IntentPolicyHealthFallback
04

Capability registry

Each daemon declares what it can do: domains, custom tags, data zones, model class, supported capabilities and status.

05

AI capabilities

Legal AI, Contract AI, HR RAG, Code AI, Commercial AI, Product AI, Generalist AI and custom enterprise capabilities.

06

Inference runtimes

Designed to work with local and OpenAI-compatible backends such as Ollama, vLLM, TGI, LiteLLM, LocalAI or internal APIs.

07

Internal data sources

Documents, knowledge bases, SharePoint-like repositories, policies, contracts, codebases, databases and internal tools.

08

Observability & audit

Shows selected node, routing reason, status, fallback, logs and usage signals.

Client-managed context

The daemon stays stateless. The client carries the conversation.

The selected daemon does not need to retain long-term memory. The ClusterAI client builds a governed conversation context, compresses recent history when needed, filters it according to role and data-zone rules, and sends it to the selected capability.

Capability-aware routing

Not which server is free — which capability is right.

A classic load balancer asks which server is free. ClusterAI asks which AI capability is most appropriate, authorized, available and healthy for this request.

ClusterAI is designed to complement existing infrastructure. It can sit above local models, private servers, internal RAG systems, agent frameworks and AI gateways.

Competitive positioning

How ClusterAI is different.

The market already has AI assistants, RAG builders, gateways, LLMOps tools, cloud AI platforms and local inference runtimes. ClusterAI is not trying to replace every one of them. It provides the missing orchestration layer that makes internal AI capabilities discoverable, governable and operable.

AI search & enterprise assistants

Glean, Dust, watsonx Orchestrate
  • Centralized search and assistant experience
  • Strong connectors and enterprise knowledge UX
  • Focus on a single front-door product
ClusterAI
  • Routes between heterogeneous AI capabilities
  • Not bound to a single assistant experience
  • Can complement existing assistants as a router

Private chat & self-hosted interfaces

Open WebUI, AnythingLLM
  • Self-hosted chat with local models
  • Document interaction and basic RAG
  • Single front-end experience
ClusterAI
  • Sits behind or beside these interfaces
  • Adds capability-aware routing and governance
  • Operates a network, not a single chat

RAG, agent & workflow builders

Dify, Flowise, LangGraph
  • Rapid AI app and workflow creation
  • Strong DAG / agent tooling
  • Per-app governance
ClusterAI
  • Turns applications into routable nodes
  • Cross-app routing and policy enforcement
  • Network-level governance

LLM gateways & API routers

LiteLLM, Portkey, OpenRouter
  • Unified model APIs and budgets
  • Fallback and logs at the model layer
  • Endpoint-level routing
ClusterAI
  • Routes by business capability, not endpoint
  • Considers data zone and conversation
  • Designed for internal AI service operation

LLMOps & observability

LangSmith, Langfuse, LlamaIndex
  • Traces, evaluation, prompt monitoring
  • Retrieval and model observability
  • Read path on AI behavior
ClusterAI
  • Control path: decides where the request goes
  • Complementary to monitoring tools
  • Observability can enrich ClusterAI capabilities

Cloud AI platforms

Bedrock, Foundry, Vertex AI
  • Cloud model catalog and MLOps
  • Enterprise agents and tooling
  • Cloud-first deployment
ClusterAI
  • Private multi-capability layer
  • Spans local, private and cloud nodes
  • Designed for tenant-owned infrastructure

Local inference runtimes

Ollama, vLLM, Hugging Face TGI
  • Serve models locally and efficiently
  • Stream tokens and use GPU well
  • Operate at the model layer
ClusterAI
  • Decide which capability should answer
  • Sit above runtimes, not replace them
  • Designed to work with these runtimes

Internal enterprise stacks

Custom internal stacks
  • Custom Kubernetes, scripts, proxies
  • Maximum control and custom fit
  • High operational burden
ClusterAI
  • Standardizes capability declaration
  • Routing, governance, fallback, observability
  • Reduces glue code across the AI stack

A load balancer sees servers. ClusterAI sees AI capabilities.

ClusterAI does not replace the AI stack. It makes the stack usable as an enterprise service.
