Understand Studio turns plain-language requests into governed AI applications, built on the knowledge bases, assistants, workflows, and data sources you already manage in the Understand Tech Platform. Live in minutes. Runs anywhere: SaaS, your private cloud, or fully air-gapped.
Understand Studio builds real, governed applications, not chat widgets glued onto a sidebar. Each app comes with auth, audit, versioning and a clear owner, built on the Platform's knowledge bases, data connectors, agents and workflows to fit how your teams work.
Engineering teams query technical PDFs with citations to the exact page and section.
Reps get answers from product docs, pricing, and competitive intel in one place.
Audit and risk teams query policy and regulation sources with full traceability.
A structured pipeline from a single sentence to a governed, multi-screen production application, with file uploads, structured data, integrations, and exports. Not just a chat widget.
Open the Understand Studio and type what you want in plain language. A guided assistant asks up to 5 targeted questions to scope the need and flag any grey areas, then synthesizes a clean spec. No prompt engineering, no diagrams, no setup.
The Builder drafts the data model, workflow, UI screens, and integrations, then builds and health-checks a real, multi-screen application in 10 to 15 minutes. Chat on the left, a live preview of the app itself on the right.
Tell the Builder what to change about the app: columns, data sources, workflow steps, branding, exports. Front and back end hot-reload instantly in the live preview, so you iterate by chatting, not coding. Attach guidelines or spec files to steer the build further.
Lock a production build and ship it inside your perimeter. Manage knowledge bases, data sources, authentication, teams, and security from one place. Every version is kept and one-click restorable, so nothing is ever lost.
An Understand app isn't an isolated artifact. It inherits the full Platform infrastructure, so what you ship to your teams already speaks to your data, your identity provider, and your governance rules from day one.
Connected to your sources, ready at runtime.
Salesforce, S3, SharePoint, internal APIs.
Multi-step agents, not just chat.
SSO, SAML, RBAC inherited from the Platform.
Including Understand AI for air-gap deployment.
Audit logs, version history, one-click rollback.
Most AI app builders force a tradeoff: lock down the build environment (and accept mediocre tooling), or use the best tooling (and accept that the runtime can't go anywhere sensitive). We refused the tradeoff.
Our Understand Studio runs online with full internet access, it uses whatever it needs to write code that works. The output is something different: a self-contained, signed binary, scanned for CVEs and backdoors, that runs inside your perimeter with no outbound traffic and no third-party SDK dependencies in the artifact. The security bar lives at the artifact boundary, much easier to defend, much easier to certify.
The security bar lives at the artifact boundary, not the build environment.
A line-by-line comparison of what you actually get from Understand Studio versus a typical AI app builder.
| Capability | Other AI app builders | Understand Studio |
|---|---|---|
| Where the app runs | Vendor cloud only | SaaS · your VPC · air-gap |
| Outbound traffic at runtime | Required | Zero |
| LLM bundled for air-gap deployment | ||
| Signed binary, scanned for CVEs and backdoors | ||
| Runtime architecture | Proprietary BaaS dependency | Open: React, FastAPI, MongoDB, Docker |
| Self-hostable by your platform team |
Comparison reflects typical AI app builders that ship apps tied to a managed cloud runtime. Specifics vary by vendor.
Every artifact is signed, scanned, audited, and versioned. By design, not as an afterthought.
The apps we deliver run on standard open-source components: React on the frontend, FastAPI on the backend, MongoDB for storage, packaged as Docker Compose for any environment your platform team already supports. No proprietary BaaS to vendor-lock you. No managed service the artifact phones home to. Your platform team can inspect every layer, run it where they choose, and own it the day they want to.
Engineering, sales, compliance, and operations teams in industries where data leaves no boundary.
FAEs at semiconductor companies querying datasheets that never leave the building.
Standards body teams summarizing draft specs without exposing them to public APIs.
Operations teams running custom assistants on regulated networks.
