Shadow AI on personal accounts is hard to control. kayetana gives your company a platform on your own network, with roles, keys, limits and logs, that you run yourself.
Built to run on your own network.
HTTPS with your own certificate
Caddy in front, and the app only listens locally.
Nightly backups
Database and files at 3:15 a.m., kept for 14 days.
Works offline
Internet only to load models and updates.
Roles and sign-in

API keys with limits
Bearer authentication, a monthly limit per key, 429 when exceeded.
Updates by script

Stay on top of your models.
See every installed model with its size, context length and capabilities. Pull new ones by name from the Ollama library, remove old ones and set the default model for chat, embed and rerank.
