Tools for Sovereignty

We incorporated Tools for Sovereignty a year ago today. We spent the last 18 months navigating the idea maze.

We shipped 6 products all anchored around bridging the utility gap. We started Tools for Sovereignty to give people control over their data. In the age of AI, this means control over their context.

Private Memory Infrastructure

Product: Private memory infrastructure sold to AI apps.

Problem: With our apps we realised early that memory was the moat for AI apps — users should control it and be able to share it across apps.

Solution: SDK/API & MCP server for apps to personalise their LLM-based offerings, privacy guarantees via TEEs.

We wrote a manifesto about why the privacy frame mattered, then learned the buyer didn't care.
