Show HN: AntFabric (One Subscription for all your operational needs)

GeekyAnts launched AntFabric, a single-subscription operations platform that consolidates work spread across Slack, Notion, Jira and email into one company-controlled app, announced via a Show HN post. AntFabric pairs an AI assistant that reads chat, calendar and mail on models GeekyAnts hosts with a forward-deployed engineering pod that installs the platform on customer-approved hardware so data stays on-premises. The offering includes custom agents, white-labelled native desktop and mobile apps, and a hybrid operations app, with GeekyAnts positioning the controllable data-and-operations layer as the durable asset as models become commoditized.

The work your team spreads across Slack, Notion, Jira and email, in one app your company controls. The problem Every company that puts AI to work will need one layer it controls. Models are becoming a commodity. The layer that connects them to your data, your people and your operations is not, and most companies do not have one yet.

Don'tApprove What's blocking the Aurora launch?Reply to Fabric… Two ways in Helping organizations become AI native. Most organizations start with our engineers. Some bring their own. Both run on the same layer. 01ConsultingMost organizations start here We build your AI-native operations on the platform. A forward-deployed engineering pod from GeekyAnts installs AntFabric inside your organization, connects it to your systems, and builds the agents, apps and features your operations need. You get running operations, not a licence and a manual. For organizations with their own engineers. AntFabric as the controllable layer, with the desktop and mobile apps, the agent runtime, and our team to consult when you want it. Our engineers work inside your organization until it runs. Not a handover deck. A forward-deployed pod that deploys, integrates, builds and stays until the operation runs itself. MAP Pick the first operation We spend a working session on one real process, with its meetings, messages and systems, and agree what "running" means. DEPLOY Install where you decide AntFabric goes onto hardware you approve, connected to the tools you already use. Your data does not leave the building. BUILD Agents, apps and features for that operation Built by the team that builds the platform, so a missing feature is built into it rather than around it. RUN Hand over, then extend Your people run it, with a human in the loop where one belongs. We move to the next operation, or hand you the keys. Why us The pieces your operations are missing. Everything below ships on the platform and stays yours to run. 01 Custom agents Agents for the jobs your teams do every week: intake, follow-up, scheduling, reporting, approvals. Working from your company's memory, limited by your rules. 02 Native desktop and mobile apps White-labelled apps for the office and the field. The platform's chat, meetings, tasks and assistant, carrying your name. 03 Hybrid operations app One app for one operation: a floor, a branch, a fleet, a sales desk. Web, desktop and mobile from a single build. 04 Custom features The platform does not have it yet? We build it into the platform, not around it, and it ships to you first. 05 Integrations Your ERP, CRM, HR system and mail, connected so agents can read and act. The permissions people already have come along. 06 Agent workflows with a human in the loop Marketing, sales and back-office workflows run by agents, with a person approving anything that cannot be undone.

By GeekyAnts The engineering company is the forward-deployed team. AntFabric is built by GeekyAnts, an ISO-certified engineering company that has shipped production systems for enterprises since 2006, from the US, India and the UK. The pod that deploys AntFabric inside your organization is drawn from the same bench that builds it. “AntFabric is where our team works now, not one more app to open. Nobody here retypes the same thing into four apps any more.” SSSaurabh SahuChief Technology Officer, GeekyAnts FAQs Common questions. What the engagement is, where your data goes, and where it stops. Is AntFabric a product or a consulting engagement? Both, and consulting comes first. Most organizations start with a forward-deployed pod that installs the platform and builds their first operation on it. Organizations with their own engineers can license the platform and build on it themselves. What does "forward-deployed" mean here? GeekyAnts engineers work inside your organization, on your systems and with your teams, until the operation runs. They deploy, integrate and build; they do not hand over a deck. Where does our data go? Onto hardware you approve. Meetings, messages and documents are captured, stored and processed where you decide. No third-party AI vendor is in the loop unless you put one there. Do we have to replace Slack, Jira or our mail? No. AntFabric connects to what you already use and captures work where it happens. Teams that want to consolidate can, on their own timeline. Can we self-host? Yes. On-premises or in a cloud account you control. The pod installs it there. What does a working session look like? Thirty minutes with the engineers who build the platform. Bring one real operation, with its meetings, messages and systems. You leave with what would run on AntFabric, where a human stays in the loop, and what the pod would build first. Already working with us and something is not right?Visit Support
