Trust-first AI, engineered for regulated work.
Mendel Info Labs designs, ships, and operates AI products where privacy and verifiability are non-negotiable — the OneNew private AI suite and the ActPass agent-governance engine, built for regulated industries.
One studio. A focused set of products that earn their trust.
Each product is live and in the market today. Together they form a coherent thesis: AI is only adoptable in serious industries when privacy, control, and proof are built in from the first line of code.
OneNew Workspace, API & DB
A fully managed, private AI platform that runs on your own sovereign cloud — the Workspace for teams, the API for developers, and the DB for retrieval — with native SOC 2 & HIPAA-aligned controls for sensitive data.

ActPass sits between AI agents and their tools. Every refund, deploy, or email gets a deterministic allow / deny / needs-approval decision — signed and recorded in a tamper-evident evidence chain your auditors can verify.
How it works Model The Mendel modelBuilt to compound
Trust-first AI products built to generate recurring revenue that funds the R&D keeping them ahead — a durable studio, not a quick exit.
See the modelPrivate AI that runs on your cloud — not ours.
OneNew is a fully managed, private AI workspace that deploys onto your own sovereign infrastructure. You get the productivity of a modern AI assistant with the control posture a regulated organization requires — from agreement to a live portal in days.
Managed privacy, retained ownership
Mendel manages the infrastructure and security patching; you retain full ownership of your data at all times.
Compliance built in
Native SOC 2 & HIPAA-aligned controls, standardized MSA, and a BAA for healthcare clients — coverage from day one.
Provisioned in minutes
A dedicated portal at portal.onenew.ai
is stood up in minutes, with SSO for your whole team — no complex cloud setup.
Three surfaces, one private platform
Whether your users are people, applications, or retrieval pipelines, OneNew meets them where they work.
The private AI workspace for teams — document chat, secure knowledge, and everyday AI inside your own tenant, behind SSO.
Programmatic access to the same private models and retrieval — so your own applications can build on OneNew without sending data outside your walls.
The managed vector and knowledge layer that powers grounded, retrieval-augmented answers — encrypted, tenant-isolated, and fully yours.
From agreement to deployment in days, not months.
We handle the heavy lifting so your team can start working with private AI almost immediately.
Legal & compliance
We execute a standardized MSA. For healthcare clients, we include a BAA for full compliance cover — no bespoke legal drag.
Connect your data
Securely upload documents or connect existing sources through encrypted pipelines. Your data stays in your environment.
Launch your portal
Your dedicated portal.onenew.ai
instance goes live. Your team signs in via SSO and starts working.
Stop risky agent actions before they execute.
As organizations hand real authority to AI agents, "trust me" is not a control. ActPass sits between your agents and their tools and turns every consequential action into a deterministic, signed decision — with a paper trail auditors can actually verify.
Deterministic policy, capability by capability
Define exactly what an agent may do in each system — the same policy the SDK enforces at runtime.
Blast-radius limits
Quantitative guardrails — max spend per transaction, rate limits per hour — contain damage even when an agent misbehaves.
Tamper-evident evidence chain
Every allow, deny, or approval is issued as a signed Action Passport and sealed into a hash-chained ledger — replay-proof and verifiable.
Built to compound, not to flip.
Mendel operates at the intersection of near-term market utility and long-horizon value. The model is built so recurring revenue from trust-first AI products funds the R&D that keeps them ahead — a durable studio, not a quick exit.
