AI that helps with everyday tasks across your entire organisation – securely and at scale? Meet ZenAI.   

Generative AI (GenAI) has immense potential to optimise day-to-day operations. But, in practice, challenges like strict data regulations, security concerns, high licensing costs, organisational readiness and platform lock-in keep most companies from harnessing GenAI’s full power. 

That’s why we created ZenAI: a business-ready, on-site GenAI solution that integrates naturally into existing workflows, without requiring prompt knowledge or technical know-how. It runs locally or behind your firewall, making it ideal for organisations who require strict data and compliance control. 

Originally developed at Zühlke to empower our own teams, it quickly became clear that ZenAI had value for any organisation in need of generative AI solutions and is now being used by clients in highly regulated industries such as healthcare and finance.

Enterprise AI’s adoption challenges

While working closely with enterprise clients across sectors, we’ve seen a clear, shared demand for secure and scalable GenAI solutions. 

For GenAI to be successful, it must deliver value across a wide range of processes – and for hundreds of employees – while ensuring compliance with data regulations, maintaining data security and meeting quality standards. So, despite GenAI’s promise to boost efficiency, many enterprises struggle to adopt it at scale.

Common challenges here include: 

Put simply… While GenAI is a great enabler for progress and optimisation, becoming an AI-enabled company requires more than just deploying a handful of disconnected AI models and tools.    

Most current offerings ignore crucial requirements around data control, cultural change and close user involvement. Moreover, companies are struggling with scaling individual AI productivity gains to enterprise ones. And this is exactly where ZenAI comes in. 

ZenAI is an enterprise-grade generative AI solution and agentic platform designed for secure, scalable adoption across your organisation. 

ZenAI is a core building block of our Cybernetic Delivery Platform (CDP), built to accelerate the adoption of generative AI across enterprise workflows. CDP provides the modular framework for scalable, architecture-agnostic AI solutions, and ZenAI brings this to life by operationalising generative AI within your existing environment. 

While ZenAI is a building block within CDP, it doesn’t depend on it – instead acting as a standalone solution that can integrate flexibly into your existing IT landscape. 

Unlike generic tools, ZenAI is a generative AI solution that gives companies complete control over their data, allows easy creation of custom AI agents and workflows, and integrates seamlessly with existing systems. It empowers every employee to leverage AI efficiently, without compromising security or requiring extensive technical expertise.  

Crucially, that means: 

• Enterprise-grade data privacy and security mechanisms
• Easy-to-use, configurable AI agents and use cases
• Scalability across multiple business processes
• Full control over deployment conditions, data flow and data residence
• No need to rip and replace existing infrastructure

ZenAI’s key benefits are in its customisation and focused approach to enterprise-wide scalability.

Enterprise-grade data protection and governance 

• A safe, secure solution on which to scale AI in business
• Full control over data flow with a three-stage safety system
• Secures sensitive company data from external platforms like OpenAI
• Role-based access control 
  

Tailored AI infrastructure for unique business needs 

• A modular solution configured to specific requirements
• Choose from multiple privacy levels and AI models
• Deploy ZenAI where you want, including your data center
• Integration with a range of third-party systems and platforms 

The best part? Tailoring ZenAI to your needs is a collaborative process. We work hand-in-hand with every client to deliver a bespoke solution shaped by their needs. 
 
Our delivery model embeds your experts directly in the process, from prompt engineering to workflow design, enabling your teams to learn by doing and take real ownership of the tools they help shape. 

This hands-on approach means our clients don’t just deploy ZenAI – they understand it, influence it, and extend it. The result is a truly bespoke generative AI solution and agentic platform that’s not only aligned with your business needs, but also a stepping stone toward AI fluency – and long-term technological democratisation across your organisation. 

ZenAI is built on the core principles behind Zühlke’s pioneering AI accelerator, the Cybernetic Delivery Platform (CDP) – building AI-augmentation on top of looping systems of input, feedback and coordination between human experts.

Cybernetic thinking is our vision for the future of technological empowerment. One where human knowledge is partnered with ever-improving AI to unlock fast, scalable and meaningful change to the way we think about data architecture and the tools businesses use on a daily basis.
