Built to stay yours

AI Control

AI you choose, infrastructure you own

Drop in your own API key or run a local model entirely on your hardware. Vetra orchestrates your AI-ready platform: structured data, custom apps, real-time sync, history, user roles, and signatures. Everything is embedded from day one.

Local First

Local first. Syncs when you want it to.

Every app and agent can run entirely on your machine. Changes sync in real time when you're connected, and merge cleanly when you're not. Offline isn't a fallback, it's the default to take your team and your data anywhere.

Sovereignty

Build your niche. Keep it yours.

The best platforms are specific, community-owned, and impossible to extract value from. Vetra gives you the infrastructure for that: open schemas, data sovereignty, no proprietary middleman between you and your users.

Open Source

Self-hosted or we'll host it for you.

Deploy on our cloud, your cloud, or a private node. The platform is 100% open source: inspect every line, fork it, modify it, contribute it back to the community. You're never dependent on our uptime or our roadmap.

Auditability

Every action signed. Every change traceable.

Every operation, human or agent, is cryptographically signed and appended to an immutable log. Know exactly who did what, when, and why. Optionally anchor to a blockchain for external auditability.

Launch your apps, your way

Vetra Cloud keeps your workflows running with no servers to manage. Or run everything on your own infrastructure.

Your software. Your data. Your call.
