Introduction

TrueNorth is a developer-first AI conversation engine. You declare what data you need in YAML. TrueNorth runs the entire conversation to collect it — extraction, validation, compliance, reminders, multi-language support — automatically.

Why TrueNorth exists

The extraction problem nobody solved right

LLMs are excellent at conversation but unreliable at guaranteeing structured output. Every team building data-collection AI ends up re-implementing the same pieces: field tracking, validation, conflict detection, confidence scoring. TrueNorth ships all of it as configuration.

The compliance gap for India

India's DPDP Act 2023 creates specific obligations: consent management, data principal rights, retention limits. No Western framework was designed around this. TrueNorth implements the full Act as a single YAML block — not an afterthought added on top.

The reminder nobody built

Every AI framework assumes sessions complete in one sitting. TrueNorth's async reminder engine initiates contact days later with full session context — drafting a personalized follow-up using the LLM and sending it via WhatsApp or any channel. This is a primitive no other framework offers.

When to use TrueNorth

• You need to collect structured data through natural conversation
• You're operating in a regulated industry (healthcare, finance, HR)
• You need multi-language support for Indian languages
• Sessions must survive network interruptions
• You want compliance baked in, not bolted on
• You need to know the exact cost of every API call

Architecture in 30 seconds

Every message runs through 13 sequential stages: language detection, emotion analysis, PII masking, conversation planning, field extraction, conflict detection, validation, confidence scoring, hallucination firewall, output generation, source tracing, cost recording, and MCP tool execution.

Every stage is auditable. Every stage is configurable. No black boxes.
