Safe AI - Your data, your context, your control

While the world was building to scale, Bast was building a trust layer

Overview

Our platform enables organizations to build their own explainable AI, securely leveraging proprietary data while maintaining full transparency and control. We supply the APIs, governance framework, and billing tools that let you safely expose, meter, and monetize access to verified data sources
With Bast, businesses can move AI from proof-of-concept straight to production. We provide the system of record for artificial intelligence: a versioned, secure pipeline that snapshots every source, grounds every answer, and ensures explainability by design.
Our Ontology Engine keeps context attached to reasoning. Our APIs are cloud and LLM-agnostic, so you’re not locked into a single provider. Bast provides the capabilities and proof you need to trust AI in production.
In short, we turn black-box AI into auditable systems.
Models will change, but the need for trust won’t. Bast is the infrastructure that carries AI across that gap.

01

Safety isn’t a feature,
it’s the foundation of everything we do

• On-premise or hosted deployments
• Decision lineage
• 70% compute reduction
• Deterministic outputs
• 8 week deployment vs. industry standard
• APIs are cloud and LLM-agnostic

Bast is the system of record for artificial intelligence. An ontology that grounds every answer in real data. It snapshots every source. It shows why every decision was made, step by step, source by source

And doing it yourself doesn’t make this any easier. Building your own AI stretches your existing teams, which may lack AI experience. Hiring service firms is likely to be costly and can limit your control, and the in-house expertise needed to build explainable AI might not be available.

04

Multiple AI technologies, one easy-to-deploy solution

Data pipeline
  • Transforms data into structured, contextual knowledge
  • Rapidly structure your data to enable customization and control
Natural language
understanding
  • Grounded meaning using controlled vocabularies
  • Provides context to AI unavailable with off-the-shelf solutions, enabling more accurate responses
Knowledge graphs
  • Enables traceable relationships and context-aware answers
  • Demonstrate the underlying context, connections and sources that deliver outputs
Model context protocol
  • Queries the right data
  • Built on the Model Context Protocol (MPC) to make agentic workflows plug-and-play, model-agnostic, and auditable
Hybrid intelligence
  • Combines neural & symbolic reasoning
  • Leverage the speed of statistical inference (e.g., LLMs) with the specificity of rules-based reasoning
Explainable UI layer
  • Generates human-readable outputs
  • Customers and business users can understand underlying source data without engineering support

Why Bast

Bast offers trustworthy AI for businesses, which delivers infrastructure solutions that equip developers to create explainable, human-centered AI. These solutions make AI transparent and auditable at enterprise scale.

Our platform lets organizations leverage trusted data to build production AI. Teams can quickly deploy explainable models and manage them independently. Every deployment records provenance and reasoning to support compliance and risk management.

Your data, your decisions, your control

Your intellectual property:

‍• Remains 100% yours in perpetuity
• Auditable and independently verifiable
• Traceable with full provenance at every step
• Governed by policies you define and control
• Never repurposed or commingled with external data

Case Studies

Healthcare
Craig Logo

Piloting explainable AI technology so patients, families, and providers are able to access the right information, the way they need to receive it

Simwerx Logo

On-device, offline, and explainable: We built a Medic Co-Pilot for Simwerx that runs at the tactical edge with minimal compute, shows visual proof of the exact protocol on every answer, and reduces medic cognitive load when connectivity is zero

Northwestern Medicine

An ontology-driven lookup for instruments and assays with full provenance, built so domain experts—not engineers—control how the AI thinks

Education
Metropolitan University Logo

Launching an AI-driven Student Advisor Pilot to automate routine inquiries, surface actionable insights, and enable advisors to focus on meaningful student interactions

Maryville University Logo

Generated personalized social learning companions (SLC) which reduced nursing student attrition by 12% and saved the university $1.2 million in the first semester
