ATLANTA – October 31, 2026 -- Heritage Werks Group (HWG) has made NetX AuthorityAI commercially available, an "Authority Layer" for enterprise AI that grounds answers in an organization's proprietary knowledge and claims up to 4X greater inference energy efficiency.
Platform builds a governed knowledge network with cited answers
NetX AuthorityAI connects proprietary knowledge, archives, digital assets, enterprise data and verified external sources into a single governed network. It ranks, scores and validates information, then returns fully cited answers traceable to their original sources. It also surfaces related photographs, documents and videos.
HWG positions the product against general-purpose platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, which it says draw on internet-scale data where fact, opinion and misinformation coexist.
Georgia Tech collaboration and two decades of archive expertise
HWG developed the platform through a strategic research collaboration with Georgia Tech's Tech AI Institute. It combines that research with nearly two decades of experience managing institutional knowledge for major global organizations.
"Getting an answer from AI is easy. Knowing whether you can trust it is another matter," said Keir Walton, Founder and CEO of Heritage Werks Group.
Closed-loop environment keeps proprietary data out of public model training
AuthorityAI runs in a secure, closed-loop environment, and proprietary information is never used to train public AI models. Role-based permissions, enterprise governance and approval controls determine which users can access which information.
The platform enforces source verification and citation requirements. When evidence is insufficient, it is designed to acknowledge the gap rather than generate an unsupported response. A scoring feature, NetX AuthorityScore, measures and optimizes content's contextual relevance for AI.
Green Layer architecture targets inference costs
The NetX Green Layer architecture delivers up to 4X greater inference energy efficiency through intelligent model selection and optimized processing, according to HWG. The company says this reduces both costs and environmental impact.
Jason Wehling, founder of NetX and HWG's Chief Technology Officer, said the platform preserves the context, permissions and traceability that make information trustworthy. He said it can support an individual workgroup or a broader organizational AI investment.
HWG lists research, content creation, strategic decision-making and opportunity identification among the intended use cases. NetX AuthorityAI is available now.
