Product

The port between your data and your AI.

Portward decides what your AI tool may see, sends your team's definitions with every result, and records where each answer came from. The conversation stays in the assistant your people already use.

01Today

Your AI is already working with company data.

Most teams get it there in one of three ways. Each one works until the day somebody senior notices the number is wrong.

Paste an export into the chat

The file leaves your systems, the numbers are stale by the afternoon, and you explain what revenue means again in every conversation.

Connect the database directly

The assistant can read whatever that login can read. Nothing decides who is asking, nothing explains the columns, and nothing records what was sent.

Wait for a vendor to cover it

Each tool governs its own corner. Your team asks questions across databases, apps and documents, in more than one assistant.

02What Portward does

One place that answers for what AI may know and do.

Five jobs, in the order a question meets them. Each one links to a plain account of how it works.

Connects to where your data lives

Databases, APIs and files stay in their own systems. An admin connects a source once, and its credentials are kept in a vault that the people asking questions never see.

Learn about sources

Enforces your rules on the data itself

Portward checks the person, the agent, the data, the operation and the destination on its own side, before anything moves. A restricted row or column is held back, not sent and hidden.

Learn about rules and permissions

Sends the meaning with the result

The definitions your team approved travel with the data: what the number means, how to use it, where it came from and how current it is. Approved knowledge is labelled Governed, and anything not yet reviewed is labelled Provisional.

Learn about shared context

Records every crossing

Each delivery leaves a record of who asked, what was checked and what was sent, so an answer can be traced back to its source.

Learn how delivery works

Learns only what a person approves

A correction comes back as a proposal. A reviewer with the right role approves or rejects it, and an approved correction becomes a new version instead of a silent edit.

03Who it is for

Start alone. Bring your team when you are ready.

On your own

You already ask an assistant about your work. Connect your own sources, keep the context you build, and use it from more than one AI tool. You do not have to set up a company hierarchy to begin.

For a team

You answer for the numbers. Decide what AI may see by person and by role, agree on definitions once, review what the assistants learn, and check where any answer came from.

04Boundaries

What Portward is not.

Not a chat app

Your people keep asking in the assistant they already use. Portward never hosts the conversation.

Not a new home for your data

Sources stay in their own systems. Portward reads what a permitted task needs, not everything a login can reach.

Not a way to change your data

In this version, data access is read-only. Portward does not write to your sources.

Not a dashboard tool

Portward does not draw charts or replace your reports. It supplies what the assistant needs to answer correctly.

05Questions

What people ask before they connect anything.

Claude and ChatGPT already have connectors. Why add a layer?
A connector gives an assistant a way in. It does not decide which rows this person may see through this agent, attach the definition your finance team approved, or keep a record of what was sent. Portward is the connector your assistant uses, with those three things behind it.
A read-only database server is free. What does Portward add?
A direct connection lets the assistant read everything its login can read, and read-only is its only rule. Portward applies rules per person and per agent, bounds the operations that can run, and sends the meaning along with the result.
Does it enforce rules on the actual rows, or only describe them?
It enforces them. The checks run on Portward's side, before the result leaves, and never in the AI tool. If Portward cannot enforce a restriction on a source, it blocks that route instead of pretending.
How long before I see a first answer?
About as long as it takes to connect one source. Sign up, connect it, add Portward to your assistant and ask. You can do it on your own, today.
Who keeps the definitions up to date?
The people who own them. When a source changes or an assistant notices something, it comes back to Portward as a proposal for a person to review. Nothing becomes shared knowledge without that approval.

Give your AI a clear passage to your data.

Connect a source, set what AI may see, agree on what your numbers mean, and review what it learns.
