Foraging AI™ · Sovereign AI, launching soon

Sovereign Canadian AI, built in BC, Canada.

FAICOS™ is the sovereign AI workspace from Foraging AI™, built in British Columbia, Canada. One place for conversation, an autonomous coding agent, and deep research, made with our own proprietary computer language, alongside others. Your data never leaves Canada, never trains our models, and always remains yours.

18+ months of systems R&D Engineered in a proprietary, fully self-hosted computer language

First rollout in BC, Canada, then across Canada.

As FAICOS expands to other countries, your data stays in your own country.

About Foraging AI™

Foraging AI™, the group behind FAICOS™.

Foraging AI™FAICOS™ · Frontier Research

Foraging AI™ is a Canadian research company incorporating in British Columbia, Canada; formal registration is underway. FAICOS™ is its product: one team, one stack, one promise.

What's next

Our frontier model is ready.

Our most capable model, a frontier system with trillions of parameters, is built and ready. A system this large is extraordinarily expensive to run, so it cannot be part of a free launch: it is not available on any plan yet, free or paid, and we bring it online after the launch period ends. Enterprise contracts can arrange access earlier.

Who we are

We are researchers, not a startup.

Foraging AI™ is a group of independent researchers, not a startup and not a venture-funded company. We work on a limited budget, and we build with care and for the long term.

As we expand into other countries, each is held to the same standard, none placed above another. The commitment does not change at any border: wherever we operate, your data stays within your own country.

And it holds equally for everyone. Every plan, free or paid, carries the same security and the same privacy, and your data is never used to train our models.

Against the trend

Security and privacy are a human right. Not a luxury.

Mission

Working on multiple R&D in multiple domains, and finding solutions for the betterment of humanity and our community.

Vision

Where every tech space is safe, secure, and affordable for all.

Principles

We love to go against the market and the trend, while protecting our community.

Free to begin. Fair at every scale.

Honest pricing, no lock-in. Start on the free tier, upgrade only when your work needs it, and change or leave whenever you like. All prices are in Canadian dollars, with taxes shown at checkout and nothing hidden.

The same security and privacy on every plan, every client, and the API.

Your plan is national: the same product at the same rate wherever you live or do business in Canada, and a multi-province business is billed once. The British Columbia rates are simply a launch-period welcome for our home province, where FAICOS™ is built; everywhere else in Canada is on the standard national plan.

Start free, then move up whenever you're ready (BC Base → National → Professional → Flagship), and step back down whenever you like.

Media and multi-media generation are on the way. They are not available on any plan, free or paid, until all launch offers end, when they switch on with the post-launch plans. Bringing them online only after the launch offers protects our limited budget as a small research group.

Applicable government taxes (GST/PST) are calculated and applied to every plan at checkout.

Every plan and every surface, from the free tier to Enterprise and the API, runs on the same security architecture and the same privacy guarantees.

Our most capable model, a frontier system with trillions of parameters, is built and ready; we bring it online after the free launch period.

Security & privacy

Engineered for privacy. Private by design.

We make no guarantees about model quality; the guarantee we make, and keep, is your security and privacy. One security architecture for everyone: every plan, every client, and the API run with the same protections, and the free tier is held to the same standard as Enterprise.

Your data stays in CanadaStored in Canada, and never used for training.
Banking with a major Canadian bankPayments are handled through a major, federally regulated Canadian financial institution.
Card security by a Canadian gatewayPayments run through a trusted Canadian payment gateway.
Transparent taxationApplicable government taxes (GST/PST) are calculated and shown at checkout.
End-to-end encryptedYour conversations and files are encrypted so that only you can open them. Not even our team can read them. We use the best cryptographic mathematics known today, including post-quantum methods; their strength is proven in theory.
Built to recognised standardsBuilt the way regulated industries expect: aligned with Canadian privacy law and modern security frameworks, and strengthened continuously.

Built with security and privacy in mind.

Our platform is built with security and privacy controls that meet the requirements of the frameworks and regulations listed below, along with other recognized cyber-security best practices. These controls are implemented across our product and development lifecycle.

  • SOC 2 Type II
  • ISO 27001
  • ISO 42001
  • CSA STAR
  • HIPAA
  • NIST 800-171
  • GDPR
  • PIPEDA
  • PIPA (BC)
  • FOIPPA (BC)
  • FIPPA (ON)
  • MFIPPA (ON)

We are actively pursuing certification. We build to these controls today; independent third-party audits are on our roadmap.

Updates & roadmap

What we're building next.

We're in pre-launch, building in the open. Here's what's underway and what's next. Join the waitlist to hear it first and to lock in free early access as each capability lands.

  • Coming soon AI & cybersecurity certifications, launching soonAI-safety and cybersecurity certifications (two separate programs) are both underway. Stay updated and get free early access the moment they land.
  • Live Bilingual from day oneYour language and culture matter to us. French and English are built into every part of FAICOS: your workspace, our support, and every email we send.
  • In progress Public launch: British Columbia firstAccess opens in BC first, then across Canada. Waitlist members are notified before anyone else.
  • R&D A verified human layer for the webThe open web is filling with bots and automated fraud. We are researching a private layer that carries only human traffic and only human-generated data: a new web surface built for people.
  • R&D Encryption ready for the quantum eraYour data should stay private for decades, not months. We are building toward quantum-resistant encryption and a migration path, so information captured today cannot be stored and unlocked by tomorrow's computers.
  • Live Built in our own computer languageFAICOS is made with our own proprietary, fully self-hosted computer language, along with our own proprietary fonts.
Rest is part of the discipline

Step back. Breathe. Return with clarity.

FAICOS is designed with rest in mind: considered reminders to leave the screen and reclaim genuine time away. Step outside. Notice the light, the air, the movement of the trees. Capture a moment of the real world and reconnect with nature. The clearest thinking returns with you.

Built-in Digital Well-Being. Rest Reminders: gentle nudges to step away, breathe, and return with clarity.
