Inherent is the managed RAG back-end for freelance AI builders. One workspace per client, scoped API keys, demo-ready the same afternoon. You bill for the build, not the boilerplate.
Built by a solo founder who shipped one too many client RAG pipelines.
EU-hosted on Hetzner · GDPR-ready · No VC, no sales team, no enterprise theater.
One per client. Isolated data. Scoped API key. 60 seconds — no infra to provision, no Pinecone index to size.

Every client project started the same way — two weeks of plumbing before I could bill for anything interesting. With Inherent, I upload their docs, wire up search, and I'm demoing to the client the same day. My margins went up 40%.

5 active client projects. ~1 billable hour of your time per month.
More than 5 clients? Let's talk.
Those are building blocks. Inherent is the full pipeline: ingestion, chunking, embedding, deterministic retrieval, and audit trail — behind one API. You call an endpoint, not configure infrastructure for the third client in a row.
Yes. Export everything any time — documents, chunks, vectors. No lock-in. Their data is theirs. You stay billable as the integrator.
Yes. We're EU-hosted on Hetzner, GDPR-ready by default. Quote it on your next sales call — no extra config, no enterprise tier upsell.
Semantic search finds candidates. PostgreSQL hydrates the actual results. Same query, same results, every time. You can inspect and edit individual chunks to fix retrieval quality before the client demo.
Yes — that's the entire point. Each client gets their own workspace with full data isolation and scoped API keys. Pro tier includes 5; Business is unlimited.
Yes. We ship an MCP server out of the box; point Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your custom agent at it. One workspace per agent (or per agent's user) with isolated knowledge.
Founding users get direct DM access to the founder, white-glove setup of your first client workspace, and lifetime founder pricing locked in.
