Question 1

we already pay for anthropic and openai. does commons replace them?

Accepted Answer

no. commons connects to the ai tools your company already uses. your existing subscriptions stay, employees keep their preferred interfaces, and every conversation gains access to the same shared company context. commons is model-agnostic, so your ai strategy does not depend on a single provider.

Question 2

can we bring our own keys and models?

Accepted Answer

yes. commons runs on the provider keys and subscriptions you already have, so day one requires no procurement, no migration and no change for your team. once your context lives in commons you can route individual workloads to open models, private workers or your own region without losing the knowledge you built.

Question 3

do employees have to switch tools or change how they work?

Accepted Answer

no. commons works inside tools such as claude, chatgpt, codex, cursor and other supported ai interfaces. employees keep working where they already work. commons supplies the relevant company context, tools and flows in the background, without anyone maintaining another knowledge base or learning a new application.

Question 4

how is commons different from glean or microsoft copilot?

Accepted Answer

glean helps employees find information. microsoft copilot brings ai into the microsoft ecosystem. commons is the shared context and execution layer across all of your company's ai tools: it turns ongoing work into structured, source-linked knowledge, makes that context available across models and interfaces, and lets teams build reusable agents and flows on top of it. you can keep using glean, microsoft 365 and your existing providers.

Question 5

how does commons learn, and how does it stay accurate?

Accepted Answer

commons continuously captures facts, decisions, procedures, ownership and relationships from connected tools and ai conversations. every entry stays linked to its original sources, versioned over time, and checked as new information appears. when information changes or conflicts, commons flags and replaces stale context instead of letting contradictory knowledge accumulate.

Question 6

what can commons agents do, and what stays under human control?

Accepted Answer

agents can retrieve context, use connected tools and run multi-step flows across your systems, manually, on a schedule, or when something changes. sensitive actions can require human approval, and every step remains traceable, so teams automate routine work without losing oversight.

Question 7

how long does setup and rollout take?

Accepted Answer

most companies start with one team and the tools that matter most to them. commons connects to your existing systems, identities and permissions centrally; employees sign in once and can use shared context in the ai tools they already know. teams expand gradually as useful knowledge transfers and reusable flows emerge.

Question 8

where does our data run, and who can access it?

Accepted Answer

commons is designed for enterprise deployment and supports regional hosting, private-cloud and on-premise environments. access follows the permissions in your existing systems. data is encrypted in transit and at rest, credentials are stored securely, and agent activity is auditable. the infrastructure supports gdpr, pci dss and hipaa baa requirements; soc 2 and iso 27001 are in progress.
