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.
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.
Full-resolution DP/HDMI capture from workstation or connected PC terminal. Host perceives standard monitor — no awareness of Sentridock.
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.
Sanitized context and user task description submitted to enterprise LLM API or on-premise server. Expert-level AI recommendations returned.
AI output displayed on extended second monitor or companion app. User confirms. Sentridock injects recommended actions as USB HID keystrokes into the workstation.
Press the dock button, speak your task. On-device speech recognition. Fully standalone — no external device, no network required.
STANDALONESingle USB-C cable (CDC-ECM) creates private subnet 192.168.100.1. Or connect via WiFi. Task input on phone, tablet, or personal laptop.
LOCALMonitors display at 1–10fps. Detects new error reports, alarm states, simulation completion. Proactively signals AI assistance available.
PASSIVEOutbound WSS tunnel to sentridock.ai cloud relay. Zero-knowledge relay — cloud cannot decrypt content. Access from phone, tablet, or PC anywhere.
REMOTEOne hardware platform. Vertical-specific LoRA domain adapters. The same dock serves all nine industries without hardware changes.
Timing closure, CDC triage, simulation debug, PnR guidance — without RTL net names, cell names, or clock architecture ever leaving the workstation.
On-premise LLM variant for classified environments. Zero external network transmission. Compliant with all security classification levels.
PACS viewer and EHR AI assistance. PHI fully stripped before any transmission. No FDA/CE re-certification triggered — appliance operates outside certified host stack.
Bloomberg terminal and OMS AI assistance. Trading strategies and positions never reach any external service. SEC Rule 17a-4 compliant.
OT/IT boundary enforced by hardware. IEC 62443 and NERC CIP compliant. One-way data pathway by silicon design, not policy.
Attorney-client privileged documents, proprietary compound structures, and airworthiness records all protected at the hardware layer.
50M+ specialized workstations globally · $100B+ theoretical TAM at $200/seat/month · 0.1% penetration = $100M ARR
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sentridock is the only solution that combines hardware-level IP protection with AI co-processor capability for security-constrained workstations.
Sentridock is seeking a strategic co-founding partner with hardware security IC expertise and Taiwan semiconductor ecosystem relationships to build the world's first AI co-processor for regulated workstations.
USB4 · DisplayPort · HDMI · SerDes · D2D — the exact technology stack Sentridock requires. Deep EDA workflow domain knowledge.
Personal relationships with Engineering VPs at Taiwan fabless IC target customers. Zero cold outreach needed for Phase 1 pilots.
