Your work places, in one index on your own box.

CombBase is being built to read your git, Slack, Drive, mail and more, read-only, and to keep one index that your AI agents can use for one person at a time. So far it has been tested only on simulated services.

Who it is for

Not for you if you need a finished product today, if AI must write into your tools (CombBase never does), or if only one or two tools matter.

  1. 01Your work is spread over git, issue trackers, chat, mail, drives and meetings, and your AI agents cannot see it, or you cannot control what they see.
  2. 02You want AI agents to work from the real record, but you will not give them write access to your tools or open everyone's data to every agent.
  3. 03You want the connections and their keys on your own box, with someone you trust able to see what is connected and how fresh it is.

Dashed boxes are your own tools. Credentials are entered on the box and never pass through IT Labs India.

CombBase connects to each tool with a read-only credential kept in a vault on your box. It records where your work lives and keeps the index fresh. When an AI agent asks, CombBase answers only for the person that agent works for, and only with what that person may see.

Main features

One index of where the work livesReady

Assistants and people find the right source quickly, and stale sources are visible.

Reads for one person at a timeReady

Built so that an assistant working for you sees only what you may see, checked at each read; our own tests; not independently audited.

Results labelled with their sourceReady

Each answer shows where it came from, and item text is marked as data, not as instructions.

Keys kept in a vaultReady

Built so that connection keys are stored encrypted and not shown again after entry; our own tests; not independently audited.

Separation between clients and peopleReady

Built so that one client's data does not reach another, enforced in the database itself; our own tests; not independently audited.

Code hosting and pull requestsIn testing

Issues, reviews and comments from your repositories, without any write access.

Ready: built and passing its tests on our development system. In testing: built and in testing; anything that does not pass testing will be removed. Nothing is in customer use yet.

Security and where your data lives

  • The plan is a box in our cloud or at your office, on its own, with its own database and credential vault; today it runs only on our development system.
  • Keys are entered on the box, straight into the vault. They never pass through IT Labs India and never appear in logs.
  • Planned: IT Labs India manages accounts and seats from your IT Labs India account and sees counts and health only.
  • Connectors only read. Confidential issues, code, private chats, recordings and attachments are not read.
  • Admins and organisation accounts manage connections and are built not to read content; checked by our own tests.
  • Not yet independently audited or penetration tested, and we claim no compliance certification. Security hardening for production comes before any go-live.

What you need to run it

  1. 01A box. Hosted by us in our cloud, or at your office. It runs on its own, with its own database and vault. Its size is agreed when we scope the pilot
  2. 02Read-only access in your tools. A person on your side who can create a read-only token or app in each tool you want connected, for example a Microsoft 365 or Google admin.
  3. 03A list of what to include. The repos, projects, channels, mailboxes, folders, drives and database views CombBase may read. It reads nothing else.
  4. 04People and their AI agents. Who gets a seat. Each person enrols a passkey from an invitation. Meeting organisers also give their opt-in.
  5. 05An outbound connection. The box calls out to the tools you connect. Nothing needs to reach into your network from outside.

How a pilot would work

Because no real company account has been connected yet, the first pilot is also the first real test. We say so at the start.

  1. 01Talk and scope. A free consultation. We agree which tools, which people and which AI agents are in the pilot, how long it runs and what counts as success. Cost is scoped per pilot.
  2. 02Set up the box. We prepare your box, in our cloud or at your office, and link it to your IT Labs India account.
  3. 03Connect, read-only. Your admin creates a read-only token in each tool and enters it on the box, straight into the vault. CombBase checks that the token cannot write.
  4. 04Choose what is read. You pick the repos, channels, mailboxes, drives and views. People enrol passkeys. Meeting organisers opt in.
  5. 05Fill the index. The index builds. You check what it found and how fresh it is, and your AI agents ask it questions, for one person at a time.
  6. 06Review and decide. We look at what worked, widen or remove connections, and agree the next step together.

Ready today, and what is next

In testing Built, tested on simulated services

  • The read-only connectors for code and issues, chat, mail, drives, meeting transcripts and databases
  • The index of systems and spaces
  • Reads for one person, checked at every read
  • The credential vault and isolation between clients
  • Passkey sign-in and onboarding

Built and in testing. Anything that does not pass testing will be removed. Nothing is in customer use yet, so nothing is marked "Available now".

Roadmap Next

  • First runs against a real company's accounts, in a pilot with you
  • Security hardening for production use, before any go-live
