XEROTECH AI

XEROTECH AI is a British artificial intelligence technology company founded in London in 2022 by Noman Shah and Dr. Atif Naseer. Registered in England as XEROTECH LTD (Company #14474495), the company positions itself around "sovereign AI" — AI built for organisations whose data cannot leave the building. Its stated mission is to eliminate the trade-off between powerful AI capabilities and genuine privacy, making privacy architectural rather than a policy that can change with the next terms-of-service update. The company is backed by Google for Startups and Microsoft for Startups, is SEIS/EIS eligible, and reports holding multiple US patents cited by Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM. The company's product portfolio centres on CallGPT 6X, a privacy-first AI workspace that aggregates six providers and more than twenty models (including GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, and Perplexity), with data filtered in the user's browser before any query leaves the device. VisionXI is an accessibility app that interprets and narrates visual STEM problems for learners with visual impairments, available on iOS and Android. XEROLAND, an AI operating system for inclusive education featuring intelligent tutoring, curriculum automation, and immersive 3D classrooms, is listed as in development for 2026. Alongside its products, XEROTECH AI operates a consultancy practice focused on AI strategy and implementation, AI automation and workflow engineering, and AI governance and compliance. The firm targets regulated sectors — energy, legal, tax, health, education, and governance — where public large language models are often unusable because of data-protection, professional-privilege, or regulatory constraints. It cites frameworks including the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, Ofgem CAF 4.0, and the NIS Regulations, and claims partnerships including Claude Network Partner and IBM Plus Partner, as well as Cyber Essentials certification and HMRC Advance Assurance. The founders' backstory is central to the brand narrative. Shah and Naseer met in 2012 in Saudi Arabia while working on technology projects; Shah was leading enterprise systems and Naseer was building crowd-analytics systems processing data from millions of people in real time. They built research infrastructure and a startup ecosystem together before founding XEROTECH. Shah left an executive role in 2022 — after leading a $200 million World Bank-funded technology programme serving 1.4 million vulnerable households — to build AI that does not sell out its users. The company reports having raised £70K with £670K available under SEIS/EIS, alongside $350K in Google Cloud credits and $25K in Microsoft credits, and states it has shipped three commercial AI products and built more than 50 workflow automation pipelines.

XEROTECH AI's origin story begins in 2012, when Noman Shah and Dr. Atif Naseer met in Saudi Arabia while working on technology projects in high-pressure environments. Shah was leading enterprise systems; Naseer was working in AI research, building crowd-analytics systems that processed data from millions of people in real time. Together they built research infrastructure and a startup ecosystem before XEROTECH existed, forming a partnership that the company describes as spanning more than a decade. In 2021, Shah made the decision to walk away from a $200 million World Bank-funded technology programme he had designed and led, which served 1.4 million vulnerable households. He left his executive role in 2022 to build AI that does not sell out its users, and in the same year XEROTECH was founded in London. The company was registered in England as XEROTECH LTD (Company #14474495). The founders' stated motivation was the trade-off they saw in the market: professionals handling sensitive information — lawyers, consultants, doctors, accountants — either avoided AI entirely or took risks they should not have to take, because public large language models send data to third-party clouds. XEROTECH's answer was to make privacy architectural rather than a policy. Sensitive data is processed before it ever leaves the user's device — not after, not in transit, not on someone else's server. This principle drove the development of CallGPT 6X, a privacy-first AI workspace that aggregates six providers and more than twenty models, with data filtered in the browser before any query leaves the device. The company reports that it built the enterprise architecture for CallGPT 6X in seven days. By the mid-2020s the company had shipped three commercial AI products, built more than 50 workflow automation pipelines, and reported holding nine patents cited by Apple and Microsoft (with other sources in its materials citing Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM). VisionXI, an accessibility app that interprets and narrates visual STEM problems for learners with visual impairments, launched on iOS and Android. XEROLAND, an AI operating system for inclusive education with intelligent tutoring, curriculum automation, and immersive 3D classrooms, was announced as in development for 2026. The company also built a consultancy practice serving regulated sectors — energy, legal, tax, health, education, and governance — where public LLMs are often unusable. It cites regulatory drivers including Ofgem enforcement and CAF 4.0 mandates, NIS Regulations 2018, SRA outcomes and HMRC obligations for legal and tax professionals, and CQC DSPT, KCSIE 2025, Ofsted, OfS, and ICO requirements in health and education. XEROTECH reports backing from Google for Startups and Microsoft for Startups, SEIS/EIS eligibility, £70K raised with £670K available, $350K in Google Cloud credits, and $25K in Microsoft credits. It claims partnerships including Claude Network Partner and IBM Plus Partner, and certifications including Cyber Essentials and HMRC Advance Assurance. The company has been featured in outlets including Yahoo Finance, Inc., Entrepreneur, and GlobeNewswire.
