Could we have a bit more "who and where" on this please? "Relax.ai by Civo", great, who are Civo? Where's the datacenter? What's the corporate structure? UK resident founders?

relaxAI is a spin-out from Civo — UK-incorporated cloud provider, been around since 2018, founded by Mark Boost. Probably best known for managed Kubernetes (fmajid’s got it right downthread).

We spun out in 2026 to focus on sovereign inference and UK workloads that need in-country processing. UK-resident founders. Not a UK subsidiary of a foreign hyperscaler or model provider — wholly UK-owned and operated, running in Civo’s LON1 datacentre.

ICO-registered, NCSC-aligned, on G-Cloud via CCS. UK law and UK courts only, no cross-border data flow at any layer. The majority of our customers are UK orgs where in-country processing is a hard requirement such as UK healthcare, legal and education companies.

This should be on your "About" page, ideally coupled with direct link(s) to Companies House.

You need to be flaunting your sovereignity, not merely wielding it.

Civo is a UK cloud provider known mostly for its low-cost Kubernetes hosting service (albeit with fairly expensive storage).
what's preventing you from going to their website? op has linked directly to the documentation, so that info is not necessary expected to be there
OP should have linked to the website rather than the documentation; that would have provided more immediate context for the discussion.
It depends on who you ask

Lack of links.

It's a common annoyance when subsections of a site fail to link back to the parent.

I did actually try looking for an "about" on the linked page and googling, neither of which was immediately helpful.
