Private AI for business connects your tools to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity through a governed integration layer with retrieval-only connector tools and separately annotated CorpusIQ control-plane tools. Direct MCP does not retain raw customer files or full connector response payloads. Operational query text, per-user tool-call metadata, and bounded outcome summaries may be retained for up to 30 days. Optional indexed search keeps embeddings and minimal metadata until connector revocation or account deletion. Your AI provider's plan policy governs its conversation handling. Every answer cites its source. CorpusIQ connects 40+ business tools through source-specific authorization, SOC 2 aligned, CASA Tier 2 certified by DEKRA. 30-day free trial.

Private AI for business is an AI setup where an assistant answers questions about your company without duplicating your records into a separate system. The assistant reads live from the tools you already use, such as QuickBooks, Shopify, and Google Ads, and each figure it returns links back to the exact record it came from.
In practice, private describes three things: where your data lives during retrieval (your source systems), how the assistant reaches it (read-only access, scoped per account), and what remains afterwards (bounded operational logs).
Direct MCP does not retain raw customer files or full connector response payloads. The assistant reads from the source when you ask.
Each connection is authorized separately, with per-account isolation, and connection and disconnection events are logged.
Each figure links back to the record it came from, so you can check a number before you act on it.
Checking what your AI client does with conversation data? Start with Does Claude store my data? and Is ChatGPT safe for business data?.
The phrase private AI is used loosely across the market, so it pays to test the specifics. These are the questions worth asking any provider in this category.
Live retrieval reads from your source systems when you ask. A copy-based design pulls records into a separate store first. Know which one you are buying.
Ask what is kept, for how long, and how deletion works. Concrete answers beat reassurance.
Write access into accounting or ad accounts carries more risk than read-only access. Decide whether a tool needs it at all.
Can every figure be traced to the record it came from? If you cannot check a number, you cannot defend it in a meeting.
You should be able to see when a connection was created, changed, or removed.
How long until the first useful answer, and does it need technical staff? Small businesses should not need a data engineer for this.
The security page documents how CorpusIQ approaches each of these checks, and the connector list shows the systems you can connect.
You do not need a migration project or a new data warehouse. Setup takes under two minutes, and the questions are plain English.
Authorize each system through its standard sign-in screen. Each connection is scoped to your account.
CorpusIQ works with ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity through MCP, so there is no new chat app to learn. See how the MCP connection works.
Start with one real question, open the cited record behind the number, and judge it against your own books. Then connect the next system.
Private AI is only useful if it can answer the questions you actually ask. CorpusIQ runs cross-source queries over your connected tools in plain English. No dashboards to build, no reports to schedule, no analyst to hire.
Each question above runs the right pre-built skill across your connected tools. See how the 150+ skill library works.
Tableau, Power BI, and Looker cost small businesses out of the market and still require a data engineer to configure. CorpusIQ gives you the same decision-making capability without the setup cost, the staff, or the data movement.

| Setup time | Under 2 minutes | 3 to 6 months |

Private AI for business describes an assistant that answers questions about your company from the systems you already use, such as QuickBooks, Shopify, and Google Ads. Access is scoped to your account, and every figure it returns cites the record it came from, so you can check a number instead of taking it on trust.
A general AI chatbot answers in the moment, from whatever you type or paste, and it does not know your books. A private setup for business retrieves live from your connected systems, so the answers reflect your current numbers and each figure can be checked against the source record.
No. Connections are authorized through standard sign-in screens, setup takes under two minutes, and there is no warehouse or dashboard to build. Questions run in plain English.
Direct MCP does not retain raw customer files or full connector response payloads. Local AUDIT logs record raw query text and tool parameters plus bounded result summaries; the Azure Log Analytics workspace retains those logs for 30 days. Optional indexed search has a separate lifecycle. Authorized source context is sent to the selected AI client, whose plan and settings govern conversation handling.
Yes. CorpusIQ is GDPR aligned with read-only access, scoped retention, and per-account namespace isolation. Contact privacy@corpusiq.io with account-data deletion requests.
Read-only retrieval tools do not modify, delete, or move vendor records. The only tools that accept writes are CorpusIQ control-plane tools, which manage your own CorpusIQ configuration and never write to a connected system.
For most small businesses, yes. CorpusIQ lets you ask questions across QuickBooks, Shopify, Google Ads, Gmail, and 18 other tools in plain English without building dashboards or hiring a data engineer. Enterprise BI platforms still make sense when you need scheduled report distribution or pixel-perfect chart layouts; CorpusIQ is built for ad-hoc decision-making.
When you cancel, CorpusIQ disables its stored connection state and requires reauthorization before reuse. Provider-side authorization remains governed by the provider. Contact privacy@corpusiq.io to request account-data deletion. Operational logs in Azure Log Analytics are retained for 30 days.
CorpusIQ maintains SOC 2 aligned architecture with quarterly control reviews covering data handling, access controls, and audit logging.
Yes. Every response is a source-cited AI answer. CorpusIQ links each figure back to the exact record it came from, the QuickBooks entry, the Shopify order, the Gmail thread, so you can verify it instead of trusting it blind. A source-of-truth engine picks the correct system of record for every metric before the AI ever sees a number.
Yes. CorpusIQ works as a conversational business intelligence AI assistant. Instead of building dashboards, you ask in plain English and it runs cross-tool business intelligence across QuickBooks, Shopify, Google Ads, and your other connected tools, then returns one cited answer. No reports to schedule and no data engineer to hire.
