Private AI for Canadian nonprofits
Harbour is a private AI workspace with your name on the door. Answers grounded in your own documents, your brand on every screen, and your data kept in Canada — with a promise you can hand to the board.

How it works
No procurement maze, no six-month rollout. A workspace is ready the day your documents are.
Upload your policies, mission, messaging, and reports. Harbour reads them so every answer can speak in your organization’s voice.
Workspaces are invite-only, with roles your board would recognize. Your logo and colours are on every screen, and the assistant carries the name you give it.
Every answer names the documents it drew on — and says so plainly when it answered from general knowledge instead. Honesty is part of the interface.
The workspace
Answers draw on your knowledge base and cite their sources beneath each reply, so anyone can check where a claim came from.
Your logo, your colours, your assistant’s name, your own web address. Staff open a workspace that belongs to your organization — not another tab of someone else’s product.
When a question needs the outside world — sector research, other organizations, today’s facts — the assistant searches the web and cites where each answer came from.
Donor letters, grant applications, and board reports take shape in a side-by-side writing canvas built for editing, not a chat scroll you copy out of.
An audit trail of admin actions, a usage dashboard, seat management, and a weekly email digest. One person can run it alongside a real job.
Optional starter knowledge packs written for Canadian foundations — CRA receipting basics, a PIPEDA overview, Imagine Canada standards — so useful answers arrive before your first upload.
For nonprofits
Harbour wasn’t adapted from an enterprise product with the price crossed out. It was built around how foundations actually work: small teams, real governance, and writing that carries the mission.
Donor thank-yous, grant applications, board reports, campaign messaging — the words nonprofits live on. Harbour drafts them in your voice, grounded in your own mission and policies, and keeps the draft beside the conversation while you shape it.
New workspaces can start with knowledge packs written for Canadian foundations, kept current so you don’t have to be the expert on day one. Your own documents join them, and every answer says which it drew on.
Invite-only seats with roles, an audit trail of every admin action, a weekly digest for administrators, and simple seat-based billing. The kind of oversight a board asks about, answered before they ask.
Data privacy & Canadian sovereignty
Harbour was built in Canada for organizations accountable to Canadian donors, boards, and privacy law. Where your data lives isn’t a settings toggle — it’s the architecture.
Harbour runs in AWS’s Canadian region — Montréal’s ca-central-1 — for the model, the database, and your documents alike. Your data doesn’t commute across the border to be useful.
Conversations and documents are not used to train AI models — a standing commitment of the Anthropic API and Amazon Bedrock, which power Harbour. Not a preference you have to find and switch off.
Each organization’s workspace is isolated to that organization. Isolation is enforced in one place in the code, and our test suite attacks that boundary on every release — reads, searches, and deletions across organizations must come back empty.
Your documents and conversations are exportable and deletable on request, in full. Leaving is allowed to be easy; that’s what makes staying a choice.
Every workspace includes a one-page Data Promise, written with PIPEDA obligations in mind and designed to be printed and put in a board packet. If a promise can’t be shown to a board, it isn’t one. Read the Data Promise.

Questions boards ask
Claude, made by Anthropic — reached through the Anthropic API or Amazon Bedrock. Under both providers’ commercial terms, your conversations and documents are not used to train AI models.
Production workspaces run in AWS’s Canadian region, ca-central-1 in Montréal — the application, the database, your documents, and model processing through Bedrock. There is no second region.
Your teammates can’t read each other’s conversations. Workspace administrators see usage numbers, the audit trail, and answers staff choose to flag for review — not private chats. Other organizations see nothing of yours; that isolation is tested on every release.
A Google account for sign-in and a folder of your key documents — policies, mission, messaging. A workspace opens in an afternoon, and starter knowledge packs for Canadian foundations mean useful answers arrive before your first upload.
On request we export your organization’s data in a standard format and/or permanently delete it — documents, conversations, settings, all of it. Leaving is allowed to be easy; that’s what makes staying a choice.
Harbour is designed to support them: Canadian data residency, per-organization isolation, invite-only access, export and deletion in full, and a printable Data Promise your board can file. Your organization remains the accountable party under PIPEDA — Harbour just makes the answers easy to give.
