Enterprise setup

Set up Cuttlefish for your organization.

Bring your team into one governed AI workspace. Sign-on, roles, your connected systems, and your controls all come together in a guided setup — and your people get the same Cuttlefish they would use on their own, with the oversight your organization needs behind it.

What setup involves

Six steps from decision to your team working.

You can do it all in one sitting or start small and come back. Each step is guided — you do not need to know how anything is wired underneath.

Verify your domain

Prove you own your company's email domain so the right people join the right organization. Once it is verified, anyone signing in with a work email at that domain lands in your team — not a stranger's.

Connect sign-on

Connect Cuttlefish to the identity provider your company already uses. Your people sign in with the account they trust through single sign-on, and accounts are set up and turned off automatically as they join or leave — no adding anyone by hand.

Choose how you run it

Run Cuttlefish in the cloud, or keep it inside your own boundary so prompts, models, and data stay where your policy requires. You set the boundary once and the workspace holds it — for everyone, every time.

Connect your environments

Bring in the systems your team works in — code, infrastructure, cloud accounts, internal apps, and the tools you built yourself. Each connection is described once, the sensitive keys stay hidden, and a connection can do nothing until you allow it.

Assign role experiences

Give each role a tailored experience — what they see, the language they read, and the workflows they need — using Surface Packs. The same workspace shows up the right way for IT, platform, support, compliance, and leadership, without granting anyone authority they should not have.

Invite your team

Send people in through sign-on and assign each a role. Most people just open Cuttlefish and start working; a small number of admins run it. You can change a role at any time, and the change takes effect right away.

Choosing how you run it

Cloud or your own boundary — model choice stays open either way.

Pick the deployment that fits your security posture. Whatever you choose, your people keep open model choice and you keep one consistent set of permissions, approvals, and records.

Cloud

The fastest way to start. Cuttlefish runs as a managed service, your sign-on and connected systems plug in, and your team is working in minutes. Your controls and records apply from the first action.

Self-hosted and private

Keep work inside your own boundary. Use tenant-private inference or local and private model endpoints so prompts, retrieval, and model work stay where your policy requires — right up to a fully private deployment for the most sensitive environments.

Your own models

Decide which providers are approved for your organization and which models can run privately on a person's own machine. "Open model choice" and "data stays where we put it" are both true at once — you choose the mix.

Admin checklist

What to confirm before you hand it to your team.

A short list to know you are set up well. Work through it once and your people get a workspace that just works, with the controls already in place.

Identity and access

Your domain is verified, single sign-on is connected, and automatic account setup follows your directory. Roles are assigned so admins run it and everyone else gets exactly the access their role allows.

Connected systems

The tools your team depends on are connected, marked as organization-provided, and limited to what they should reach. Sensitive keys are stored securely, and a quick built-in check shows each connection is healthy.

Controls and approvals

You have decided what runs freely and what pauses for a sign-off. Approvers can allow, deny, adjust, or run a safe trial — from the desktop or their phone — and a single stop control is within reach if you ever need it.

People and billing

Your team is invited, your plan is in place, and usage and invoices are visible in one spot. Every meaningful action leaves a plain, tamper-proof record, so audits and reviews have a straight answer ready.
