The platform

Every AI workflow. One workspace.

No fake states, no demo shortcuts — every screen below is the real product doing real work.

Governance

Two consoles. Clean separation.

Built for organizations that need a real control plane: platform owners set service-wide ceilings, tenant admins govern their people, and users work inside explicit grants.

Platform Owner

Run the platform

The service operator responsible for the deployment.

  • Providers & masked API key vault
  • Org-wide model catalog & routing
  • Branding & organization controls
  • Platform-wide analytics & audit
Tenant Admin

Run the workspace

The workspace manager operating inside owner policy.

  • Users, groups & SSO / SCIM
  • Model access controls
  • Connectors, knowledge & tools
  • Tenant analytics & audit trail
Security posture

Honest by design.

Features either really work or clearly say they aren't configured. Errors surface as real errors.

Fail-closed deployment

Outside local dev, the API refuses to start without a unique high-entropy signing secret — and dev conveniences are disabled regardless of flags.

Provider key vault

API keys are masked everywhere by default. Reveal, rotate, and delete are owner-only actions — keys never reach responses, logs, or audit metadata.

Full audit trail

Administrative and chat-governance actions are recorded with analytics dashboards and CSV export — authoritative timestamps included.

Enterprise identity

OIDC SSO with presets for Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Okta, SCIM 2.0 provisioning, JIT user creation, and IdP group mapping.

Egress guard

Outbound network access in deployed environments is restricted to operator-approved hosts. Your data doesn't wander.

Connectors that verify

Google Drive, Box, SharePoint, OneDrive, and iManage — each with a real “Test connection” that reports the provider's actual response.

Community source

Clone it. Run it. Improve it.

Aperture Chat is free to use. Clone the public repository and start from the source whenever you are ready.

Aperture Chat now grows through its public repository. Use it inside your organization, adapt the interface and workflows, deploy it on infrastructure you control, and contribute focused improvements back through the staged review process.

Clone the public source

The source is free to use. Start directly from GitHub, then adapt and operate the workspace for your company.

Configure a real deployment

Create a unique signing secret, bring your own model providers, and keep runtime state in the persistent application-data volume.

Make it fit your organization

Configure identity, model policy, connectors, roles, and branding while preserving the source-level license and provenance requirements.

Contribute through dev

External contributors fork the project and open a focused pull request to dev; inspected changes promote through test to main.

Aperture Chat Community Source License

VERSION 1.1 · AUGUST 2026 · SOURCE-AVAILABLE

The project is free to use, but it is not OSI-approved open source. Individuals, nonprofits, and commercial organizations may use it internally, create private or public derivatives, and rebrand the application.

Distribution

Public forks and other public derivatives must keep the complete LICENSE.md and NOTICE.md, preserve existing notices, and identify Aperture Chat as the original codebase in both the root license notice and top-level README.

Commerce

Selling or reselling bona fide AI-model token usage or credits through the platform is allowed, including a markup. Selling, licensing, hosting, deploying, supporting, consulting on, or white-labeling the application layer for a fee is restricted when the application layer is the material value being sold.

Branding and warranty

Forks may use their own product name and visual identity; the license grants no trademark rights. The software is provided as-is, without warranty. The repository license controls if any summary differs.
