Questions

The product

What is Voltaire?

Voltaire Labs is the lab that trains Volt, a decision model built to operate a business.

What is Volt?

Volt is a decision model. It is a policy over the state of a company: it selects the action with the highest expected effect on a stated objective, executes it through the people and agents already in the company, and is updated on the measured outcome. Its objective is growth.

What does it do on a normal day?

It reads the company's systems of record, its communication and its history of decisions. It selects what matters most now, says why, and assigns the work to the right person or the right agent. You approve. Then it measures what happened and is updated on the result.

Where does it show up?

In Slack, where your stakeholders already work. There is no new dashboard to open and nothing for the team to adopt.

What does it connect to?

The systems a company already runs: revenue and billing, the CRM, support, product, finance. It starts with read-only access.

Can I see it?

Yes. The film on this page runs just over two minutes. The demo shows a simulated company, Larkspur, from its first day. Ask for early access and you get both.

How it is different

How is a decision model different from a large language model?

A large language model maps a prompt to a completion. It is reactive and stateless between calls, optimised for the likelihood of text, with no objective of its own. A decision model is triggered by a change in the state of the company, its output is an executed action, it is trained on decisions and their measured outcomes, and it has an objective. For Volt the objective is growth.

Why has AI added so little to what companies produce?

Because capability is deployed only where a person has already specified a task. AI tools raise the productivity of a task; the allocation of work stays manual, so the output of the firm is roughly unchanged. Volt allocates work across the whole company against one objective.

How is Volt different from AI agents?

An agent executes the task it is handed, inside one function. Volt sees the whole company at once, chooses the work that matters, and decides which person or agent does it.

Does it replace the agents and tools we already have?

No. It directs them. The agents and tools you have are what Volt puts to work.

Isn't this orchestration?

Orchestration routes tasks someone already chose. Volt chooses them, routes them, and is scored on what happened.

Control and data

Does anything happen without our approval?

No. Volt proposes and explains. Nothing runs until a named person says yes. Writing to your systems comes last, one system at a time, after the read-only value is proven.

Who can see our data?

You can, and the tools it already lives in. Volt reads your systems where they are, with read-only access you can switch off, and keeps no copy of your records. What it keeps is its own work: the decisions, your approvals, and the results.

How do we know its calls are any good?

Every call is frozen before the work runs and graded when the outcome lands. The record is yours to read, one tap from the decision.

Which AI does it run on?

Volt is Voltaire Labs' own model, trained on decisions and their measured outcomes. Language models read and draft. They do not hold your records.

Who it is for, and how to start

Who is Volt for?

Companies of 5 to 500 people, founder-run or not, and enterprise teams that want the same thing at their scale.

Can we use it today?

Voltaire Labs is onboarding its first design partners. A company ready to start gets Volt set up with the founder. Ask for early access, or book a call.

What does it cost?

There is no public price. Terms are set with each design partner once Volt has proven its value inside the company.

How long does it take to set up?

Connect Slack and the first systems, and Volt gives its first read on Day 0. No long implementation.
