Polleo builds AI-first solutions for a world where AI is reaching into every part of your digital life. We design around the model from day one, with guardrails at runtime — so AI inside your daily work never asks you to lower your guard.
Bring AI to your vault — with guardrails at runtime.
AI lives inside your Obsidian vault, reading and editing your notes directly. Built around a two-dimensional security model: convenience and guardrail are independent, so turning auto-approve up never silences destructive commands or web-fetches that deposit untrusted content into your vault.

Make the internet safer — at home, and across the enterprise.
A network scanner for the devices on your network — the cameras and hubs at home, the servers and infrastructure across the enterprise. Surface what's exposed in language that's actionable, whether you're securing a household or a fleet.
Version 1.0 ships as a scanner CLI. A hosted dashboard, continuous monitoring, and website security scanning are on the roadmap.
Also shipping on Polleo.app →
AI-powered knowledge base — what you read, captured and connected.
An ingest pipeline for everything you read online — web pages, research papers, GitHub repos, video transcripts, social threads — automatically summarised and cross-linked into a structured Obsidian vault. Your knowledge compounds with every session.
IRS-compliant mileage tracking — automatic, offline, exact.
A mobile mileage tracker built for freelancers and small teams. Silas detects trips automatically, logs them offline-first, and generates IRS-compliant reports at tax time — no manual logging, no spreadsheets.
From one source — presentations, audio, video, and courses, episode by episode.
Feed Peitho a document, paper, or webpage and it guides you through an interactive production process to create presentations, audio, video, and online courses. Build multi-episode series — like a full English-teaching video channel — with each episode generated consistently from the same source. Named for the Greek goddess of persuasion.
Peitho drives Polleo Channels — see it in action.
The content-extraction kernel under your AI app.
Open-source extraction layer: hand it a URL or file — a web page, PDF, office document, or YouTube video — and get clean, structured markdown ready for any AI pipeline. It's what Athena and Peitho run on.
Where we think out loud. Long-form writing on AI security, agentic systems, and the architecture of the next software platform — alongside hands-on material for people who want to learn the craft.
Hands-on craft for builders.
Tutorials, walkthroughs, and structured learning on building AI-first software with the same security-first mindset that shapes everything we ship. Two tracks underway: a 15-module Machine Learning course is live, and an Adversarial Engineering curriculum has finished its first round of authoring.
Field notes from the AI-first frontier.
Long-form essays on AI security, coding agents, context, and the shape of software when models become first-class runtime citizens. Mirrored from polleoai.substack.com.
One source. Every format. Episode by episode.
Content series built with Peitho — published as interactive web experiences, video, audio, and courses. First up: English in Moments, a channel of short English lessons built around real-world moments.
The obvious question in 2026 isn't whether your software uses AI. It's whether it was designed assuming AI existed from day one, or retrofitted onto a workflow that predates it. We only build the former.
We don't train on your content. We don't route your notes through our servers. AI-first is not the same as cloud-first — the best place for your second brain is still on your machine, and the best place for your API keys is still in your hands.
We're agile: real solutions, shipped fast to real users. What sets us apart is a deep security-first mindset — hard-earned experience baked into every AI-driven product we build, so we can solve the problems people actually face without ever asking them to lower their guard.
