Australia's First Sovereign AI Gateway

Australian AI.
Australian Data.
No Exceptions.

A sovereign AI inference gateway that guarantees 100% Australian data residency. Same powerful models. Same familiar API. Your data never leaves the country.

100% AU Data Residency IRAP Ready Zero Data Retention OpenAI-Compatible API

The AI Data Sovereignty Gap

Australian organisations are locked out of AI adoption — not by technology, but by regulation and risk.

Data Transits Offshore

Every major AI provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google — routes inference through US and overseas servers. Your data crosses borders before you get a response.

CLOUD Act Exposure

US-headquartered companies are subject to the CLOUD Act, meaning the US government can compel access to your data — regardless of where it's stored.

The Cost to Build In-House

Building sovereign AI capability internally costs millions and takes over 2 years. Most organisations don't have the budget or expertise.

Compliance Blocks Adoption

Legal and compliance teams are rightfully blocking AI adoption. Without data sovereignty guarantees, the risk is simply too high for regulated industries.

One API. Fully Sovereign.

A unified, OpenAI-compatible gateway that routes every inference request to Australian infrastructure. Drop-in replacement — switch in minutes, not months.

OpenAI-Compatible API

Drop-in replacement for OpenAI's API. Use your existing SDK code, change one URL, and you're running on sovereign infrastructure.

Multi-Provider Routing

Intelligent routing across Azure Australia, Firmus data centres, and self-hosted OSS models. Best model for each task, always in Australia.

Real-Time Compliance Dashboard

Full visibility into where your data is processed, which models are used, and audit-ready compliance reporting for every request.

Transparent Cost Analytics

Know exactly what you're spending per model, per team, per project. No hidden fees, no surprise bills. Complete cost transparency.

The API You Already Know

Same interface. Same SDKs. Guaranteed Australian data residency on every request.

Switch in 60 seconds

Replace your OpenAI endpoint URL with api.auai.com.au and every request is automatically routed to sovereign Australian infrastructure. No code changes. No new SDKs. No migration pain.

Every response includes a data_residency: "australia" confirmation so you can verify compliance programmatically.

Who It's For

Real scenarios. Real compliance requirements. One sovereign solution.

Sarah Chen
Digital Innovation Lead, Major Australian Bank
"We wanted to deploy an AI-powered customer service chatbot, but our APRA obligations meant we couldn't send customer data to US servers. AUAI let us go live in weeks instead of the 18 months our in-house team quoted."
🏛
James Morrison
CTO, Federal Government Agency
"Our agency needed AI to automate citizen service responses, but Protected certification was non-negotiable. AUAI's IRAP-ready infrastructure and zero data retention meant our security team could finally say yes."
Dr. Priya Nair
Head of Digital Health, Regional Health Network
"Analysing patient reports with AI was transformative — but the My Health Records Act made offshore processing impossible. With AUAI, every inference runs in Australia and we have the compliance trail to prove it."

Testimonials represent target use cases. Customer stories coming soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Australia only, always. Every inference request is processed in Australian data centres (Azure Australia East/Southeast and Firmus facilities). Data never leaves Australian borders — not for processing, not for logging, not for anything. We contractually guarantee this.
We currently support GPT-5.2, GPT-5.2-mini (via Azure OpenAI Australia East), Claude 4.5 Sonnet, Llama 4 (70B and 405B), and Mistral Large (via Firmus and Azure GPU VMs). We're continuously adding models as Australian infrastructure availability expands. Need a specific model? Contact us — we can deploy it.
IRAP assessment is in progress. The platform is designed from the ground up for IRAP Protected certification and ISM compliance. Our architecture, data handling, and operational procedures align with Protected-level requirements. Contact us for a detailed security posture briefing.
Yes — that's the point. AUAI is a fully OpenAI-compatible API. Change your base URL to api.auai.com.au, swap in your AUAI API key, and your existing Python, Node, or any other OpenAI SDK code works without modification. It's a true drop-in replacement.
Contact us. Our infrastructure supports deploying additional open-source models on Australian GPU infrastructure. If it can run on a modern GPU cluster, we can likely make it available to you on sovereign infrastructure within our Professional or Enterprise tiers.
