CTERA Experts

Trusted AI Answers, Directly from Your Data

From Data Silos to an Interactive Knowledge Partner

Generative AI promises to revolutionize the enterprise, but its power creates a critical risk: connecting AI tools to your data often means copying sensitive files into ungoverned environments. CTERA Experts eliminates this dilemma by providing a secure, trustworthy framework for AI. As a core component of the CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, it allows you to build AI agents grounded in your live, private data—without ever moving it—ensuring every answer is accurate, explainable, and secure.

Solving Key Enterprise AI Challenges

AI Security and Compliance Risks

Copying sensitive enterprise files to external AI platforms creates major security vulnerabilities, breaks regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA), and results in a loss of data governance.

Inaccurate or "Hallucinated" AI Responses

AI models trained on stale data copies or public information produce irrelevant and incorrect answers, undermining user trust and leading to flawed business decisions

Knowledge Silos and Slow Research

Valuable institutional knowledge remains locked in unstructured data. Manually finding and synthesizing information from contracts, reports, and designs is a slow, inefficient process that hinders agility.

Core Capabilities

Secure, In-Place Data Access

At the heart of our solution is a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) engine that operates directly on your live data within the CTERA Global File System. It finds the most relevant information to answer a query and provides it as context to a Large Language Model (LLM) in real-time. Your data stays within your trusted security perimeter, always.

Curated, Agentic Framework

Empower your organization to build custom “Experts” by curating specific datasets from folders or file classifications. The framework is entirely self-provisioning, enabling subject matter experts to create powerful AI agents without any coding knowledge. These agents can then reason across data, summarize complex documents, and provide nuanced answers, all while operating within built-in AI guardrails that constrain their scope.

Seamless Enterprise Integration

Our AI services are LLM-agnostic, allowing you to use any model of your choice, from public options like Gemini and Azure OpenAI to private, open-source models. CTERA Experts is designed to work where you do. It provides deep integration with tools like Microsoft Copilot via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and offers a comprehensive REST API for custom solutions. This allows you to embed and tie CTERA’s content services into any existing application, workflow, or agentic system.
