Decision Grade Intelligence
at the Edge.
Your team gets decision-grade intelligence in under 3 seconds, regardless of network status, location, or threat environment. Data that never leaves your hands.
The Problem
When the network drops, your team goes dark.
Before
Your team goes dark when the network drops. Decisions get made on instinct. Data stays at the FOB. The AI that was supposed to help is a loading spinner in a dead zone. Every cloud AI platform was built for the enterprise, which means it was built assuming connectivity you cannot guarantee.
After
Full AI capability, regardless of what the network is doing. Your operators get accurate, sourced answers in under 3 seconds: underground, in a Faraday cage, or at the edge of a comms blackout. The intelligence is on the device. Your team carries it with them.
That's the gap Unplugged AI was built to close.
Your AI goes offline with the network.
The moment your connection drops, cloud AI stops working. In contested environments, forward positions, and disaster zones, that is not an edge case. That is the baseline. Your operators are left making high-stakes decisions without the intelligence layer they were counting on.
Every query leaves your perimeter.
When your team sends operational questions to a cloud server, that data leaves your control. Your adversaries know this. Every cloud query is an attack surface. The platforms that claim to secure your data do not control the transmission path.
12 seconds is a tactical liability.
Cloud AI averages 12+ seconds to first token under degraded conditions. In the field, 12 seconds is the difference between acting and reacting. That latency is not a bug. It is built into the architecture. And it gets worse the moment your connection degrades.
The Solution
Your team gets the right answer. Wherever the mission takes them.
Unplugged AI runs entirely on your device. The intelligence is yours. The data is yours. The decision is yours.
The right answer. Every time.
Your team gets accurate, source-cited answers from your knowledge base in a Faraday cage, underground, or in a comms blackout. No hallucinations. Every answer traces back to a source your operators can verify.
Runs on what you already have.
No special hardware. No proprietary kits. If your device has a CPU and 1GB of RAM, your team carries full AI capability. Your operators get answers in under 3 seconds. Zero additional procurement required.
Your intelligence stays yours.
No cloud calls. No telemetry. No third party ever touches your operational data. What your team knows stays with your team. Always. The model, the knowledge base, and the inference pipeline never leave your perimeter.
Architecture
Built for Edge Constraints.
Every architectural decision in Unplugged AI was made under one constraint: it must work when everything else fails. No connectivity assumption. No cloud fallback. No graceful degradation to uselessness.
The inference pipeline runs entirely on-device with no external dependencies. The retrieval layer combines RAG and a knowledge graph: keyword search, vector embeddings, and structured relationship traversal. All offline, all within your perimeter.

Field Evaluation
We ran it in a contested environment with zero connectivity. Here is what the independent evaluator said:
"A meaningful new application of offline small language models at the tactical edge. It is not simply a chatbot concept. It is framed as a protocol aware execution aid for CQB, with structured interaction, state tracking, local storage for after action review, and measurable SOP adherence."
