Built to solve problems
cloud AI can't.
Every feature in Clausus exists because firms told us what keeps them from using AI today. Here's how we addressed each one.
Cloud AI tools require uploading confidential client data to third-party servers. For accounting and law firms handling sensitive financials, contracts, and personal data — that's a non-starter under UAE PDPL and professional codes of conduct.
Complete data sovereignty.
Your documents, embeddings, and conversation history stay on your device. AI models run locally, with optional encrypted cloud assist for lighter hardware — no raw data is ever uploaded. Privacy by architecture, not just policy.
- ✓AES-256 encryption for all stored data at rest
- ✓Documents never uploaded — cloud assists inference only
- ✓Full PDPL & KSA data localization compliance
- ✓On-device audit logs with no external exposure
Professional firms don't work in plain text. They deal with complex spreadsheets, paginated PDFs, formatted Word documents, and presentations — most AI tools can't parse these reliably.
Every format your firm uses.
Clausus parses and understands the document types that matter to accounting and legal work — preserving structure, tables, headers, and metadata so the AI sees what you see.
- ✓Table extraction from PDF and Excel with structure preserved
- ✓Multi-sheet Excel support with formula awareness
- ✓Up to 100MB per file, no page limits
- ✓Batch import entire folders in one drop
Basic keyword search can't find what you need across hundreds of documents. And generic AI tools hallucinate answers when they don't have the right context. Professionals need precision, not guesswork.
Intelligent retrieval that actually works.
Clausus uses a two-stage retrieval system: the LLM first analyses your question to determine the best search strategy, then combines vector similarity with keyword matching to find the most relevant passages.
- ✓LLM-guided query analysis for smarter retrieval
- ✓Hybrid search: semantic vectors + keyword (RRF)
- ✓LLM-enriched chunk metadata for higher accuracy
- ✓Every answer cites exact sources and page numbers
UAE and KSA firms need AI that handles both English and Arabic effectively. Cloud tools lock you into one model and one pricing tier — with no flexibility for different task types.
Choose the right model for every task.
Clausus ships with multiple local models optimised for different workloads. Switch between them freely — use a larger model for complex analysis, a faster one for quick lookups — all on-device.
- ✓Multiple optimised models for different workloads
- ✓Arabic and English processing natively
- ✓Optional cloud API for heavy tasks (opt-in)
- ✓Multilingual embedding model included
Individual AI licenses don't scale. Teams need shared context, consistent AI behaviour, and the ability to collaborate on the same knowledge base — without each person paying for a separate cloud subscription.
One shared device, your whole team.
Install Clausus on a shared office machine. Multiple team members connect from their desks, sharing the same document index and AI model — all processing stays on that single device under your control.
- ✓Multi-user access from one shared installation
- ✓Shared document index across the team
- ✓Per-user conversation history
- ✓Admin controls for model and privacy settings

Cloud AI stops working the moment your internet goes down. For firms operating in secure environments, government facilities, or during travel — losing connectivity means losing your AI assistant entirely.
Works without any connection.
Clausus works with or without internet. Online, it uses local AI with optional cloud assist. Offline, everything runs locally. In air-gapped environments, zero network activity — full AI capabilities with no external connections.
- ✓Full local AI when offline — no internet needed
- ✓Air-gap mode for high-security environments
- ✓USB-installable for restricted networks
- ✓Online mode adds cloud-assisted processing
