AI Transparency

Our AI transparency statement

In4ra is committed to using artificial intelligence responsibly, openly, and in a way that keeps people in control. This page explains how we use AI, where we do not, and the safeguards we have in place.

Last reviewed: August 2026

Our guiding principles

These principles underpin every decision we make about adopting or deploying AI tools, whether internally or in client-facing services.

Transparency

We are open about where and how AI tools are used within our services and operations. We do not use AI in ways that are hidden or deceptive to our clients or staff.

Human oversight

AI-assisted outputs are always reviewed by a qualified In4ra team member before being acted upon. No automated AI decision directly affects a client without human review.

Data protection

We do not input personal data, confidential client information, or sensitive business data into third-party AI tools unless covered by an appropriate data processing agreement.

Fairness & non-discrimination

We actively monitor AI-assisted processes for bias. We do not use AI in recruitment, performance management, or client-facing decisions without appropriate safeguards.

Security

AI tools used internally are subject to the same security vetting as any other third-party software. Access is restricted to authorised staff on a least-privilege basis.

Continuous review

Our AI use policy is reviewed at least annually, or sooner when significant new tools are adopted or when regulatory guidance changes.

Where we currently use AI

We maintain a register of AI tools and use cases. The table below reflects our current position as of the last review date.

Client-facing chatbot (Steve)

In use

Steve uses a hybrid design: routine queries (packages, pricing, contact details, requests to speak to a person) are handled by deterministic, in-house logic, while free-text queries are answered by a third-party large language model (Anthropic’s Claude), reached via our own Cloudflare Worker rather than embedded directly on the page. Conversations are not stored beyond the browser session.

Internal documentation drafting

In use

Staff may use AI writing assistants to draft internal documents such as proposals, reports, and knowledge-base articles. All outputs are reviewed and edited by a human before use.

Cyber threat intelligence

In use

AI-powered threat detection tools are used within our managed security services to identify anomalous behaviour. Alerts are triaged by our technical team before any action is taken.

Automated ticket categorisation

Pilot

We are evaluating AI-assisted categorisation of support tickets to improve response times. This is currently in a controlled pilot and not yet in production.

Predictive maintenance

Exploring

We are exploring AI tools that can predict hardware failure and network degradation for managed IT clients. No client data is used in external model training.

In4raGP1 · Guided navigation

How Steve guides you around our site

In4raGP1 lets Steve show you the part of our website he is talking about instead of only describing it. When his answer relates to a specific section, a button appears beneath his reply — press it and the page moves there and highlights it, so you can check the answer against the page rather than take his word for it.

What In4raGP1 can do

  • Scroll the page to a section of our website
  • Take you to another page on our website where that section lives elsewhere
  • Briefly highlight the section, so you can see which part Steve meant
  • Offer a “Back to where you were” button to return you to your previous position

What In4raGP1 cannot do

  • Click buttons or links on your behalf
  • Fill in or submit any form
  • Add anything to your basket
  • Start or complete a purchase or payment
  • Change any information you have entered
  • Send any information anywhere on your behalf
This is a deliberate design decision, not a temporary restriction. Steve responds to what visitors type, and we take the view that a website assistant should not be able to act on your behalf simply because of something typed into a chat box — so In4raGP1 has no ability to reach those parts of our website at all. Steve can only take you to destinations we have registered in advance. He cannot invent a destination, and he cannot send you anywhere outside our own website.

You stay in control

Nothing moves unless you press. The page will not move on its own. Every movement starts with a deliberate action by you.
Automatic following is optional. You can let Steve move the page as he talks. It is off by default and can be switched off again at any time.
Scrolling cancels it. If you scroll while the page is moving, it stops immediately. In4raGP1 never competes with you for control of the page.
Everything is reversible. You can always return to where you were. No movement is permanent and nothing is hidden from you.
On accessibility, we want to be straightforward. In4raGP1 respects your device’s reduced-motion setting, announces where it has taken you to screen readers, and is always started by you and reversible. But it is a navigation aid — it is not an accessibility tool, it does not make our website or anyone else’s accessible, and we do not claim it meets any accessibility standard or removes any barrier. Accessibility comes from how a website is built, not from a feature layered on top of it. If you have difficulty using any part of our site, please email [email protected] and we will help you directly and look at fixing the underlying problem.

In4raGP1 is the navigation feature only. It runs entirely in your browser, makes no network requests of its own, and stores nothing — it reads Steve’s reply, matches it to a registered section, and moves the page. It is separate from the rest of Steve: when you ask for a quote, leave your details, or request a callback, the information you give is handled by Steve’s enquiry features and covered by our Privacy Policy.

In4raGP1 Policy v1.0, published August 2026, applies to In4raGP1 v1 as deployed on in4ra.co.uk. Any future version able to do more than move you around the page will be described here before it goes live.

Built for the agentic web

How AI agents can access our site

Beyond how we use AI internally, we have built our own platform to be properly understood by AI agents and automated tools through open, documented standards, rather than by leaving the door open to indiscriminate scraping.

API, Auth, MCP & Skill Discovery

Scored by isitagentready.com, Cloudflare’s independent agent-readiness checker. Commerce is not yet assessed, since automated purchasing is not enabled on our site — see below.

View the live report

Machine-readable discovery

We publish llms.txt — a clear, structured summary of who we are, what we do, and who we serve — alongside explicit content-usage signals in robots.txt on our API subdomain. Search indexing is welcomed; bulk AI-training scraping of our content is not.

Open API catalog

Our API subdomain (api.in4ra.co.uk) exposes a standards-based catalog (RFC 9264 linkset) pointing to our OpenAPI specification, documentation, and a live health check. We advertise this via standard HTTP Link headers (RFC 8288) on our main site, so agents do not need to know our API subdomain in advance.

Documented agent authentication

Where an agent needs to act on a specific client’s behalf, it must authenticate through a documented identity flow (OAuth 2.0 discovery and token exchange) rather than being granted anonymous access to account data. Access can be revoked at any time.

In-browser AI tools

Compatible AI browser assistants can query a small, safe set of live tools directly on our site — our services, the sectors we support, our contact details, and a simple support Q&A — instead of guessing from scraped page content.

Published agent skills

We publish a Model Context Protocol server card and an agent-skills index describing exactly what an authorised agent can request from us today, starting with raising a support enquiry. This list grows deliberately, not by accident.

We have also published — but not switched on — a discovery profile for automated purchasing. Right now, any agent that tries to complete a transaction automatically on our site is deliberately stopped and redirected to a human quote request, the same human-in-the-loop principle described above, applied to agentic commerce too.

What this means for you

AI assistants and search tools researching In4ra get accurate, structured answers straight from us — not guesses stitched together from scraped pages.
None of this lets an automated system make a purchase, sign a contract, or change your account without a person reviewing it first.
Our content is not handed over wholesale for third-party AI training — indexing for search is welcome, training is not, and we say so explicitly.
If you are a technical or business partner, our open API catalog and documented authentication mean integrating with In4ra does not require reverse-engineering our systems.

What we do not use AI for

The following activities are explicitly excluded from AI-assisted or AI-automated processes at In4ra. These boundaries are reviewed as part of our annual policy review.

  • Automated hiring or rejection of job applicants
  • Fully automated client billing or contract changes
  • Unsupervised generation of legal, financial, or medical advice
  • Processing special-category personal data through third-party AI tools
  • Replacing human engineers on critical infrastructure changes

Human oversight commitment

In4ra operates a “human-in-the-loop” policy for all AI-assisted processes that affect clients or staff. This means:

A qualified team member reviews all AI-generated outputs before they are sent to clients or acted upon.
Clients can always request that a task be completed without AI assistance.
Staff are trained to critically evaluate AI outputs and not treat them as authoritative.
Any AI-assisted communication is identifiable as such in our internal records.
Clients may ask at any time whether AI was used in delivering a specific piece of work.
We maintain an audit trail of significant AI-assisted decisions for a minimum of 12 months.

Data protection & AI

In4ra processes personal data in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. When AI tools are used in connection with personal data, we apply the following controls:

  • We carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) before deploying any AI tool that processes personal data at scale.
  • We do not use personal data to train third-party AI models unless we have explicit contractual protections in place confirming the provider does not use our data for training.
  • Special-category personal data (health, ethnicity, biometrics, etc.) is never processed through third-party AI tools.
  • Where AI tools are hosted outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate transfer mechanisms are in place under UK GDPR Chapter V.

For questions about how your data is handled in connection with AI, please contact our Data Protection lead at [email protected].
