Your Data Stays Yours
Everything runs on your own hardware. No data is sent to outside AI providers, so privacy, ownership, and compliance stay in your hands.
AI Products on the Thin Stratum™ Platform
The funkyFish Company, LLC
We build and operate private AI products on Thin Stratum, our local RAG and LLM platform. Knowledge assistants, agentic workflows, data pipelines, and automated reports ship as ready-to-run modules on your own hardware, with your data staying yours.
Why Hire funkyFish and Use Thin Stratum
You get a proven private AI platform and the team that built it, instead of stitching together cloud tools and hoping they fit.
Lower, More Predictable Cost
Local execution removes per-API-call charges and distant data center fees. Lease or own your infrastructure and keep costs under control as usage grows.
Proven in Production
Thin Stratum already powers StockIT.ai's RAG + LLM reporting. You are adopting a platform that has been running in the real world, not a prototype.
A Local, Accountable Team
We work on-premise across the Winston Salem and Greensboro areas, deliver near turn-key, and stay accountable for the result.
Common Use Cases
Private Document Q&A
Let staff ask questions across contracts, manuals, and records and get answers grounded in your own documents.
Automated Reporting
Turn raw data into structured, decision-ready reports on a schedule, the same way StockIT.ai produces market reports.
Data Consolidation & Cleanup
Pull scattered systems into one clean source by deduplicating, standardizing, and validating records through ETL pipelines.
Agentic Back-Office Workflows
Hand repeat tasks like intake, triage, and summarization to agent workflows while people review and approve.
Confidential Data Analysis
Analyze sensitive financial, legal, or customer data with LLMs without it ever leaving your network.
Compare & Detect Differences
Compare documents, datasets, or periods to surface patterns, changes, and anomalies automatically.
The Thin Stratum™ Platform
One private platform sits underneath everything we offer. Each product below is a module on Thin Stratum, so you get a consistent, proven foundation instead of a one-off build.

In Production: StockIT.ai
Our premier customer runs on the platform every day. StockIT.ai shows what a Thin Stratum product looks like in the real world.
StockIT.ai
StockIT.ai runs on the Thin Stratum platform to produce its market reports through RAG + LLM operations. Thin Stratum retrieves the relevant market data and prior analysis, the LLM interprets it in that context, and the result is a structured report teams can review quickly and use in real decision workflows.
1. RetrieveRAG pulls relevant market data and context
2. ReasonLocal LLM interprets signals and patterns
3. ReportStructured, decision-ready reports are generated
Built to go beyond basic chart indicators by finding repeat patterns in market behavior, highlighting meaningful signals, and giving clients better context to act on.
