Sovereign AI for public institutions

Government departments and councils answer to everyone — FOI, auditors, residents. OpenKit already delivers for DEFRA and London boroughs; Marella brings that same discipline to your documents: private, cited, accountable.

The problem, as your teams live it

01

Institutional memory in silos

Committee papers, case precedents and policy history scattered across systems and predecessors' inboxes.

02

FOI and audit exposure

You must be able to show what was known and where it came from — provenance is the job.

03

Public AI is politically impossible

Resident data and draft policy cannot touch consumer chatbots. Sovereignty matters.

How Marella fits

01

Provenance on every answer

Citations point at the committee paper, policy or case file — the FOI-ready way to use AI.

02

UK-based, UK-hosted

An ISO 27001-certified British company, with private deployment for stricter estates.

03

Departments and roles, literally

The access model matches how councils and departments actually work.

04

Proven public-sector delivery

OpenKit built DEFRA-funded services with four London boroughs — accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA), engaging and still running.

Proven: DEFRA + four London boroughs

OpenKit's Air Aware platform serves Hackney, City of London, Tower Hamlets and Newham — turning 16-second website visits into 5-minute engaged sessions for 7,000+ users. The same delivery discipline stands behind Marella.

Fair questions

Can this run inside our own environment?

Private deployment is available for organisations whose policies require it; otherwise Marella runs UK-hosted and organisation-isolated.

How does it help with FOI?

Answers carry citations and access is logged, so establishing what's held — and where it lives — takes minutes rather than a trawl.

Is it accessible?

OpenKit builds to WCAG standards across its public-sector work, and Marella's interface follows the same accessibility discipline.
