# LM-Kit

> LM-Kit is a Private Document Intelligence platform. It turns sensitive documents into structured data, cited knowledge and governed actions inside infrastructure the customer controls. Two delivery forms share one engine: LM-Kit One, a private AI application server you deploy, and LM-Kit.NET, a local AI runtime you embed in a .NET application. Both run fully on-device with no cloud calls, or expose selected capabilities to external assistants through governed MCP tools.

- Category: Private Document Intelligence
- Promise: private AI for documents and internal knowledge
- Vendor: LM-Kit, part of the Calico IIM Group
- Products: LM-Kit One (private AI application server), LM-Kit.NET (embedded .NET runtime)
- Capabilities: OCR and document conversion, schema-constrained extraction with per-field confidence, hybrid lexical and semantic search with document and page citations, reviewed and permanent redaction, PDF operations, named agents with governed tools, speech, vision, fine-tuning and model management
- Interfaces: native REST, OpenAI-compatible, Ollama and Anthropic dialects, MCP, admin console
- Runtime: C# / .NET Standard 2.0, .NET 8 / 9 / 10
- Platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS (CPU, CUDA, Vulkan, Metal backends)
- Licensing: no license key, nothing checked at runtime. Free for companies under $1M USD annual gross revenue with 10 or fewer employees that have raised no more than $3M USD; evaluation and development free at any size. Professional licensing above that.
