Your people are talking to an AI.
None of it is in your archive.
An analyst pastes a client list into an assistant. A salesperson has it draft the email that later gets produced. Every one of those is a business communication, and a regulator asking for “all communications concerning X” is not excluding the ones that happened to be with a model.
Grotabyte archives it as its own channel — every prompt and every reply, each one a searchable, supervisable, holdable record.

The channel your archive is missing
Every other vendor archives what your people say to each other. Grotabyte also archives what they say to a model — and what it says back.
One turn is one record
Not a transcript. A supervision policy has to catch the prompt that leaked the client list, not a document in which it appears somewhere. A legal hold scoped to a date range has to know which day something was said — which a conversation spanning three weeks cannot answer.
Both directions
The prompt is a communication your employee made. The reply is your own system telling them something. A policy that reads only prompts misses the model quoting back the confidential document it was handed.
It says what it could not get
Assistant vendors clip tool payloads and redact reasoning by default — and the clipped part is usually the retrieved document. Grotabyte turns clipping off where the API allows it, and where the vendor still holds something back, the record says so. An archive that quietly under-captures is worse than one that admits a gap.
Readable without us
Each turn is sealed as a standard message. Threading, near-duplicate detection, redaction, holds and production all work on it on day one — and a court can read what you produce without this product to interpret it.

Claude Enterprise, through Anthropic’s Compliance API.
Built against a published, typed schema rather than inference — chats, projects, attachments, and the agent sessions no other vendor exposes at all. Further assistants as their vendors publish an export their customers can actually use.

Platform
One archive, four obligations
Capture, supervision, discovery and disposal all run against the same sealed records — so what you produce in a matter is what the supervision queue reviewed, and what retention eventually destroys.
- Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, on-premise Exchange over EWS including journal mailboxes, and any IMAP or POP3 mailbox
- Claude Enterprise through Anthropic's Compliance API, with each turn kept as its own record rather than a transcript per conversation
- PST, OST, EML, MSG, MBOX and DXL, with OCR on scans and the pre-2007 Office formats that make up most of a twenty-year archive
- A crawl reports collected, refused and never-provisioned separately, and names the refused
- Phrase, proximity, wildcard, fuzzy and field scoping - with the parsed query tree displayed, so a reviewer can confirm the executed search matches the negotiated protocol
- Deduplication, near-duplicate suppression and conversation threading, then TAR with elusion testing and Wilson intervals
- Early case assessment without an index, a communication map, and a term hit report for meet-and-confer
- Privilege log and redaction log, Bates numbering, Concordance DAT and Opticon OPT - redaction as removal, never a black box over text still in the file
- Eight lexicons - MNPI, collusion, guarantees, complaints, gifts, harassment, off-channel and pressure - each citing the regulation it evidences
- Eighteen data-loss detectors across twelve countries, every national identifier checksum-verified
- Sampling at a declared rate that is deterministic per document, recorded on every run, because a procedure claiming full coverage while sampling misrepresents to the regulator
- Every alert ends in a written, attributed disposition, and evidence is shown masked so the queue never becomes a second copy of what it caught
- Legal holds stored as predicates, so material archived tomorrow that falls in scope is preserved without reapplying anything
- Custodians acknowledge notices themselves, in your legal team's wording, and that attributed ledger entry is the artifact a court asks for
- Public records and FOIA workflows with versioned statutory deadline rules, clock pausing and fees
- GDPR Article 17 erasure under dual control - refusals under legal hold are ledgered with the legal basis; an auditor verifies the chain of custody and cannot read a document
Key Features
Modern, simple, and intuitive interface with enterprise-grade capabilities.
Intelligent Search
Our system combines traditional search methods (Boolean, proximity, entity, and metadata queries) with semantic search, enabling users to ask questions in natural language and retrieve the most relevant results by concept, not just by exact word match.
Role-Based Access
Twenty-five permissions across ten least-privilege roles — including an auditor who can verify the chain of custody without being able to open a single document. Passwordless sign-in, per-tenant OIDC routed by DNS-verified domain, and complete auditing of sign-ins, queries, views, and exports.
Self-Service Archives
End users can browse or search their own historical communications and files using familiar folder structures and filters. Self‑service reduces IT tickets for retrievals while preserving governance controls such as retention, legal holds, and export restrictions.
Multilingual by Default
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean documents are indexed per character and found exactly — not skipped by an English-only tokenizer. PII detection covers national identifiers across 12 countries, each checksum-verified, with policy keywords matched in nine languages so a credential marked 密码 or contraseña is caught like one marked password.
Nothing Fails Quietly
No Elasticsearch cluster to babysit — search runs embedded over object storage. Collection-gap alarms grade a stalled source before material falls outside the vendor's retention window, and a revoked credential that keeps returning empty runs is caught by its stalled watermark, not discovered during a matter.
Exports Counsel Can File
Ad-hoc exports to PST, EML, PDF, HTML, and CSV — and real productions: Concordance DAT and Opticon OPT load files, family-aware Bates numbering that continues across volumes, a privilege log, and a chain-of-custody report. Attachment families always travel together; that cannot be switched off.
Workflows
Every workflow ends in something you can hand over
Supervision reviews, case assessments, privilege calls, public-records responses, destructions — each runs from its trigger to a document that survives scrutiny.
Supervision & DLP
Eight lexicons that cite their regulation, eighteen data-loss detectors across twelve countries, and a queue where every alert ends in a written, attributed disposition — because a supervisory programme is evidenced by dispositions, not by alert volume.
Early Case Assessment
Custodian ranking, activity timelines, external-domain exposure, off-hours anomalies, and a communication map — computed straight over the archive with no index to build, and every figure clickable through to the documents behind it.
TAR / Continuous Active Learning
Continuous active learning with a held-out control set, Wilson confidence intervals, a stopping rule on the pessimistic end of the interval, and an elusion test on the discard pile — a validation protocol you can paste into a declaration.
Privilege & Redaction
Redacted spans are removed from produced text — not drawn over it — with a stated basis on every redaction, a privilege log in the standard shape, and ethical walls enforced at the engine so even the counts cannot leak.
FOIA & Public Records
Fifteen jurisdictions encoded with citations — clock basis, extensions, tolling grounds, deemed denial, fee tiers — with the arithmetic shown on screen and the search recorded against the request, because the legal standard is the adequacy of the search.
Retention & Certified Destruction
Retention templates citing their statutes, a sweep that logs its exemptions instead of skipping them silently, dual-controlled suppression, four layers of destruction — and a certificate that queries the index before it says anything.
The same product, three ways to run it
Not a cut-down edition for the customers who cannot use the cloud. The same archive, the same search, the same certificates — the difference is who operates it.
On-premise
Your hardware, your storage, your keys.
- Runs against a filesystem, NAS or SAN
- Record keys never leave the machine
- No outbound dependency to search or produce
- For customers whose data may not leave the building
Cloud
Your own compute. Your own storage. No shared catalog.
- Compute and storage dedicated to you, not a slice of a shared pool
- No catalog shared between customers — isolation is architectural, not a filter
- A bucket per tenant; sealed, hash-verified containers
- Cross-tenant access by an operator is written to your own ledger
- Nothing to run, patch or capacity-plan
Managed
We run it and operate it with you.
- Connector onboarding and reconciliation
- Supervision queues worked to a service level
- Production and export support during a matter
- For teams without a records function of their own
