India AI Impact Summit 2026, on the record

Transparency is the greatest safeguard. Open code and shared development will allow millions of young minds to make AI better and safer.

Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India
Inaugural address, Bharat Mandapam, 19 Feb 2026

When AI helps the file move, the file should still defend itself.

Provlo is the provenance layer for AI inside Indian government. It signs every model call, tool use and memory read with Ed25519, hash-chains it into an append-only audit, and produces drafts that hold up under CIC, Lok Pal, and Parliamentary scrutiny. Built for the work of the secretariat. OM, PQ replies, RTI responses, file notings, DO letters.

I. Service Delivery

II. Architecture

A provenance layer, not a thin shell over a model.

Four guarantees enforced inside the execution path of every agent. None bolted on. None disablable without breaking the chain, which is the point.

i.

Append-only audit vault

Every model call, tool invocation, memory read and write writes a SHA-256 hash-chained event. There is no DELETE path in the API surface. Tampering is provable.

ii.

Ed25519 agent identity

Each agent holds a unique signing key. Every inter-agent message is signed. Memory writes are signed. The final draft is signed. Identity is cryptographic, not configured.

iii.

Governance in the call path

Policy rules around thresholds, PII handling, classification limits evaluate before the model call returns. High-risk decisions surface for officer review with the reasoning attached.

iv.

Output watermarking

Every artefact - OM draft, RTI response, file noting - carries a signed provenance envelope. Hover any cited source in the dashboard to see fetched-at timestamp, content hash, originating .gov.in domain.

RTI Response

Section 8 exemption logic, applied not assumed.

Provlo reads the application, identifies which RTI Act exemption applies, and either drafts or flags the part needing PIO discretion. Every exemption invocation is logged with the clause and reasoning.

RTI Act 2005, Section 8 · PIO discretion preserved · appeal-ready
File Noting

Hierarchical notings at the level you actually are.

Provlo drafts in the voice of the level you select - Section Officer, Under Secretary, Director, Joint Secretary - with the right framing of "submitted for orders" and "as approved". AI text and officer text remain marked.

SO / US / Dir / JS levels · AI vs human text marked
DO Letter

Personal letterhead, the right tone, the right rank.

Demi-official letters from Secretary to Chief Secretary, Joint Secretary to State Secretary, with the conventions intact. "My dear" salutation, first name basis, no F.No., signature by hand.

DO conventions · addressee rank match · salutation auto
Precedent Search

Search past notings without the legal-database fee.

Type the question. Provlo searches the ministry's prior OMs, file notings and PQ replies for the closest precedent. Each match is shown with file number, date, page span, and a verifiable hash of the source.
