Software Tailor Partner Programme
Bring private AI to your customers — on hardware they own
AI Server is an OpenAI-compatible AI server that runs models on the customer's own machines: per-app and per-agent API keys, rate limits and quotas, content-free audit, and a gateway mode that turns several servers into one endpoint. Partner with us to resell it, build on it, embed it, or deploy it.

- Deployment planner and procurement checklist.
- In the portal: partner handbook, price list, pitch deck, demo kit, brand kit and deal registration.
Questions partners ask
Is there an SDK?
The OpenAI-compatible API is the SDK surface: any OpenAI client library (Python, TypeScript, .NET, Go, Java) and frameworks built on it work unchanged. See API & clients.
Who holds the customer's licence?
The end customer, always — licensed by Software Tailor under our Terms of Service. You are recorded as partner of record, see the licence and its activations in the portal, and provide first-line support.
Do customer prompts or documents reach Software Tailor?
No. Self-hosted AI Server keeps inference on the customer's hardware. We handle only licensing, activation and account data.
Is it exclusive?
No. The programme is non-exclusive; registered deals are protected for 90 days under the deal registration policy.
