About soev.ai

Sovereign AI, built in the Netherlands

soev.ai is built by Gradient from Rotterdam. A team of engineers and strategists with a clear conviction: AI must be secure, transparent and self-managed — even for organizations with the highest requirements.

Why soev.ai

Built because it could be done better

Organizations use AI. That is a fact. But the tools available — ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini — are built for the masses, not for organizations that work with sensitive information.

We saw how government organizations banned AI use because there was no secure alternative. How consulting firms denied their employees ChatGPT while knowing it would improve their work. How law firms struggled with the combination of professional secrecy and the need for AI support.

It could be done better. soev.ai is our answer.

Our vision

A Netherlands that decides for itself

We envision a Netherlands where organizations are not at the mercy of foreign tech companies' terms, but work with AI autonomously, securely and in accordance with their own standards and values.

AI sovereignty is not an ideal for the distant future. It is an architectural choice you can make today. soev.ai is that choice.

Open source

No black box. The code is auditable, there is no vendor lock-in, and you retain full control over the platform.

Sovereign

Data stays in the Netherlands. No Cloud Act, no foreign jurisdiction, no dependence on Big Tech.

People first

AI supports people, it doesn't replace them. Responsible use is the foundation of everything we build.
