Replace Microsoft Copilot with an on-prem VDF AI deployment.
You want the Copilot experience — chat, suggestions, document understanding, app actions — without sending data to a tenant you don't control. This playbook walks through the VDF AI equivalent: AgentsHub, custom integrations, domains, agents, and a production chat interface that runs inside your network.
The problem
The cloud Copilot is great — until it isn't
For regulated industries, sovereign workloads, and air-gapped environments, sending tenant content to a hosted copilot is a non-starter. Yet the productivity bar set by Copilot is now the baseline that knowledge workers expect.
The VDF AI approach
Compose your own copilot — your stack, your models
AgentsHub gives you the agent + tool + model registry. Domains scope content and permissions. Custom HTTP tools wrap your internal apps. The VDF AI Chat portal puts it all behind a familiar, fast interface.

PLAYBOOK · STEP BY STEP
From plan to company-wide copilot
Carve domains and assign owners
In AgentsHub, create domains for each functional area — Sales, HR, Legal, Engineering, Finance. Each domain has its own data scopes, tool catalog, and access policy.
Register custom integrations as HTTP Tools
Wrap your internal apps as Custom HTTP tools: SharePoint search, ticketing, expense reports, time off. Each is a typed, secure callable surface for agents.
Create agents per domain
Spin up agents using the conversational builder or the structured form. Bind them to the right tools, prompts, and RAG sources for their domain.
Compose networks and intent rules
Define intent rules that route requests across domains when the question spans more than one. SEEMR chooses the right model per sub-task.
Roll out the Portal chat interface
Launch VDF AI Chat to employees. SSO, audit logs, energy and cost tracking are on from day one. Add browser/IDE plugins as the rollout expands.
OUTCOMES
What an on-prem copilot changes
tenant content stays inside your perimeter — no external model exposure.
lower per-seat run cost vs. hosted copilot when SEEMR routes to private SLMs.
from a domain definition to a working assistant — not multi-quarter rollouts.
SEEMR REFERENCE
Copilot quality without the tenant lock-in
SEEMR's five learning modes mean your private copilot keeps getting better as employees use it. Cost, energy, and capability sit on one routing surface.
