Can you bring your own model or route between providers with Lemony?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. Lemony publishes public evidence of bring your own model and bring your own key (BYOK), and of routing tasks between models or providers rather than being locked to one. Evidence basis: The customer chooses which of the listed open source models (Llama, Pixtral, Molmo, Mistral, Ministral families) are preloaded on its node by tier, can request deployment of custom models and Lemony fine tuned domain adapters, which ship wi. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does Lemony support MCP and tool calling?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. Lemony publishes some public evidence of tool calling and API or SDK extensibility, but narrower than full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support as defined by the Agentic Index taxonomy. Evidence basis: The product page asserts an SDK that connects Lemony to existing tools, and the vendor's launch announcement states no limits on APIs. No developer documentation, endpoint reference, SDK package, MCP server or developer subdomain is publish. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy.

On premise AI appliance that runs large language models, secure retrieval, and agents entirely on a local device, giving regulated teams generative AI with no cloud and data sovereignty.

Lemony is an on premise generative AI appliance for business teams that cannot send data to the cloud. Each Lemony node is a small device installed on the customer's own network that hosts the models, a local knowledge index and the Lemony web app, with macOS and Windows apps for users and no internet connection required; model and software updates arrive on a mailed flash drive four times a year, and nodes stack into clusters of up to four for larger teams.

After a one time indexing, up to 48TB of the organization's documents stay searchable in the background so assistants can access, summarize and extract from them on demand. Teams build custom assistants without code, use prompt assistants and templates, and run agents that validate work, send notifications on events such as regulatory changes and automate recurring tasks.

Customers choose which open source models are preloaded, from the Llama, Pixtral, Molmo and Mistral families, can request custom models and Lemony's own fine tuned adapters for legal, financial and insurance work by region, and the node routes routine tasks automatically. Administration covers users and projects, centralized prompt control, AI access policies and prompt shields, with an optional physical security key. Lemony is used in legal, finance, government and healthcare and is sold through a demo, with an add on for faster model updates.

Use cases & customers

In practice

A law firm can only put ten percent of its documents into a cloud AI tool because of privacy rules. With a Lemony node on its own network, it processes one hundred percent of them, nothing ever leaving the building.

A hospital wants to make its internal knowledge searchable for staff but cannot risk patient data touching the cloud. Lemony runs the models and retrieval locally, so sensitive information never leaves the local network.

A small finance team needs private AI without hiring specialists. They plug in a Lemony node, upload their documents, pick from the preloaded models, and are running secure assistants within minutes.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Partial
The product page asserts an SDK to connect everything, plug and play, and grounds the assistants in the customer's file based knowledge and structured data. No connector catalog, no action into outside systems and no reference documentation for the SDK is published. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Workflow Orchestration	Partial
The product page names generative AI agents that validate, send notifications on events such as regulatory changes and automate recurring tasks, plus prompt assistants and templates that automate workflows. No builder for multi step agent processes, no sub agent coordination and no documented end to end execution is described. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Full
The product page documents local retrieval augmented generation over up to 48TB of the customer's business documents: a one time indexing after which the knowledge base is always available, background indexing of new files, and access, summarization and extraction over that corpus with no internet connection. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Partial
Centralized prompt control, defined AI access policies and prompt shields bound what users and assistants can do, a guardrail layer the vendor ships. No approval gate, escalation step or review before an agent acts is documented. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Security, Identity & Governance	Partial
The product page states user and project administration, centralized prompt control, defined AI access policies and prompt shields, which are customer facing controls, and the node ships with an optional physical security key. No SOC 2, ISO or other attestation or trust portal is published, and the controls are stated rather than documented in depth. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Observability & Auditability	Partial
The product page states real time oversight of how data flows and how models decide, and the vendor describes the node as auditable. No per action audit log, run trace or exportable log surface is documented. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Memory & State Persistence	Not documented
The product page describes private and team workspaces and custom assistants grounded in the indexed knowledge base; no memory layer with a stated scope and lifetime, and no conversational session state, is documented. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Deployment & Data Residency	Full
Lemony is a physical node installed on the customer's own network that hosts the models, the knowledge index and the Lemony web app locally with no internet connection required, receives model and software updates on a mailed flash drive, and stacks into clusters of up to four nodes for larger teams. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs	Partial
Prompt assistants and templates and three named agent types (validate, notify, automate recurring tasks) appear on the product page, and the Lemony fine tuned domain adapters listed there (legal, financial and insurance variants by region, structured data and summarization) are model artifacts rather than agents or templates. There is no browsable list of agents or templates a customer selects from. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Partial
Agents that notify on events such as regulatory changes and automate recurring tasks start on events and schedules, and the surfaces are the web app hosted on the node and macOS and Windows apps. Both are single statements on the product page, with no trigger configuration, webhook or inbound channel documented. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Model Flexibility & Routing	Full
The customer chooses which of the listed open source models (Llama, Pixtral, Molmo, Mistral, Ministral families) are preloaded on its node by tier, can request deployment of custom models and Lemony fine tuned domain adapters, which ship with the next update, and the node then auto routes service tasks among what is installed. No model selector per request is documented in the app. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility	Partial
The product page asserts an SDK that connects Lemony to existing tools, and the vendor's launch announcement states no limits on APIs. No developer documentation, endpoint reference, SDK package, MCP server or developer subdomain is published. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Not documented
A validation agent is named among the agent types but what it validates is not described, and no test harness, test cases, quality gate or evaluation dashboard for assistants or agents is documented. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
Browser & Computer Use	Not documented
Lemony is used through its own web app hosted on the node and macOS and Windows apps, and its agents act on the indexed knowledge base; no browser, desktop or computer control is documented. SourceLemony, lemony.ai/productread 2026-09-06
