The AI
Co-processor
for Air-Gapped
Workstations

Zero host installation. Zero IP exposure.

50 million+ specialized workstations in semiconductor, medical, defense, and industrial sectors cannot adopt AI today. Sentridock solves this with a hardware NPU dock that adds AI intelligence to any regulated workstation — without touching the host system.

One dock. Any workstation.
Zero host footprint.

Sentridock inserts into the display signal path and USB chain. The air-gapped host sees only a standard monitor and keyboard — while an on-device language model privately handles all AI reasoning.

01

Capture display output

Full-resolution DP/HDMI capture from workstation or connected PC terminal. Host perceives standard monitor — no awareness of Sentridock.

02

On-device LM semantic filtering

Embedded language model (1–3B params, NPU-accelerated) classifies and replaces sensitive IP, PHI, and classified data with domain-appropriate abstractions. Hardware egress engine enforces zero raw data egress in silicon.

03

External LLM reasoning

Sanitized context and user task description submitted to enterprise LLM API or on-premise server. Expert-level AI recommendations returned.

04

Deliver and inject

AI output displayed on extended second monitor or companion app. User confirms. Sentridock injects recommended actions as USB HID keystrokes into the workstation.

Trigger Model 01
🎤

Physical Button + Voice

Press the dock button, speak your task. On-device speech recognition. Fully standalone — no external device, no network required.

STANDALONE
Trigger Model 02
💻

Companion App via USB or WiFi

Single USB-C cable (CDC-ECM) creates private subnet 192.168.100.1. Or connect via WiFi. Task input on phone, tablet, or personal laptop.

LOCAL
Trigger Model 03
👁

Automatic Change Detection

Monitors display at 1–10fps. Detects new error reports, alarm states, simulation completion. Proactively signals AI assistance available.

PASSIVE
Trigger Model 04
☁️

Cloud Remote Access

Outbound WSS tunnel to sentridock.ai cloud relay. Zero-knowledge relay — cloud cannot decrypt content. Access from phone, tablet, or PC anywhere.

REMOTE

Every regulated industry
with an air-gapped workstation

One hardware platform. Vertical-specific LoRA domain adapters. The same dock serves all nine industries without hardware changes.

Beachhead

Semiconductor / EDA

Timing closure, CDC triage, simulation debug, PnR guidance — without RTL net names, cell names, or clock architecture ever leaving the workstation.

TAM: $15M Taiwan alone
Tier 1

Defense & Intelligence

On-premise LLM variant for classified environments. Zero external network transmission. Compliant with all security classification levels.

TAM: $200M+
Tier 1

Medical / Clinical

PACS viewer and EHR AI assistance. PHI fully stripped before any transmission. No FDA/CE re-certification triggered — appliance operates outside certified host stack.

TAM: $80M+
Tier 1

Finance & Trading

Bloomberg terminal and OMS AI assistance. Trading strategies and positions never reach any external service. SEC Rule 17a-4 compliant.

The moat that cannot be
replicated by software alone

🔌 Zero Host Installation

Plug the dock into the display chain and USB port. AI co-processor activates immediately. No driver, no agent, no software modification on the air-gapped host — ever. Works with FDA-certified, DO-178C certified, and classified systems without re-certification.

🧠 Embedded Language Model Semantic Filter

1–3B parameter transformer model, INT4/INT8 quantized, running on dedicated NPU at ≥10 TOPS. Understands why data is sensitive — not just what pattern it matches. Adapts to novel data without reprogramming.

  • Circuit net names → [CLOCK_NET]
  • Patient identifiers → [PATIENT_001]
  • Process setpoints → [SETPOINT_HIGH]
  • Compound identifiers → [KINASE_CLASS]

🛡 Hardware Egress Enforcement Engine

Silicon-level firewall implemented below the operating system. Cryptographically verifies all outbound network traffic contains no unsanitized content. Cannot be bypassed by software. Configurable IP destination whitelist: cloud LLM mode, on-premise server mode, or cloud tunnel relay mode.

☁️ Zero-Knowledge Cloud Relay

Model 4 cloud access uses end-to-end encryption between the dock and user client app. The Sentridock cloud relay server cannot decrypt screen content, LLM queries, or AI responses. Fleet management, OTA firmware, and audit log retrieval without exposing data. Design principle: same as 1Password and Signal.

🖥 Extended Display AI Panel

Second DP/HDMI output drives a dedicated AI assistant panel on a second monitor. AI recommendations appear alongside the primary workflow screen. Natural for EDA dual-monitor setups. Engineer never takes eyes off their terminal.

🔧 Domain Adapter Architecture

LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) fine-tuning layers configure the base ELM for vertical-specific privacy classification without replacing model weights. 50–500 MB per adapter. Six adapters ship at launch: EDA, Medical, Industrial, Finance, Legal/Pharma, Defense. Single hardware SKU serves all verticals.
