Getting Started¶

Welcome to Pauhu! This guide will help you get up and running with enterprise-grade translation and AI services in minutes.

What is Pauhu?¶

Pauhu is an enterprise AI platform for translation, compliance, and document intelligence. Established in 1989, we've evolved from translation memory to neural machine translation to the most comprehensive AI platform available today.

Core Concepts¶

Before diving in, understand these fundamental Pauhu concepts:

Same Platform Everywhere¶

Pauhu follows a deployment-mode pricing model, not a feature-based one. This means:

• Every tier gets the same features: encryption, all models, offline capability
• Pricing reflects WHERE you deploy: our cloud, your cloud, or your servers
• No artificial limitations: same 2,100+ languages at every price point

Client-Side Encryption¶

All encryption happens in your browser or application:

1. Your browser generates encryption keys (Ed25519 + AES-256-GCM)
2. Keys are stored in your browser's IndexedDB — never sent to servers
3. Data is encrypted before transmission
4. Pauhu servers process encrypted data — we cannot read your content
5. Decryption happens only in your browser

Offline-First Architecture¶

Pauhu is designed to work offline:

• 695 GB of ONNX models can run entirely in your browser
• Progressive Web App (PWA) with full offline capability
• Sync when connected: changes synchronize automatically when online
• Air-gapped deployment: Tier 4 runs without any internet connection
