The Squadra SaaS platform encompasses subscription to specific Agents, the Administration Platform and the Agent API. You might have access to each or only one of these services, depending on your subscription.
The Administration Platform is a web interface enabling administrators to configure, test, deploy, and monitor advanced agents. Its main sections include:
Agent and Functions Configuration: With a particular focus on search functions—enabling Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and other search functionalities—and API functions, providing agents with the means to act on anything controllable via an API.
Data Management: The platform includes connectors to external sources to ingest data and inject it into a Squadra table. Data can be structured (databases, APIs) or unstructured (files, documents).
Testing and Monitoring: In addition to classical visualization and monitoring capabilities, the Administration Platform also enables the review and flagging of existing conversations and reusing these conversations as a set of tests to be consistently run each time a new agent is configured.
Deployment: Agents are currently deployable on websites (via API or iFrame), WhatsApp, Discord, and Slack.
The Administration Platform is specific to an Organization. If your Subscription Tier on the Website does not specify several Organizations, your licence to use the Solution under this clause will be limited to one Organization. Squadra Organizations come in various tiers, each offering different features and functionalities. Each Squadra Organization corresponds to a website, service, or any other platform or application in which you may employ the Solution. Specifically, one Squadra Organization should not be used to host applications for multiple Organizations (meaning Companies or Associations).
Agents are controllable through a REST API. The API is subject to the same policy as the Administration Platform, in particular in regards to Squadra Organizations.
The API and the Administration Platform are subject to the same Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Some Customers and End Users will only interact with the Squadra platform by interacting with Squadra Agents. This interaction might happen over dedicated messaging applications such as Slack, Discord or Whatsapp, as well as any other electronic means of communications, including but not limited to emails, text messages, as well as voice interfaces such as vocals or phone.
The Squadra platform is constantly updated by the Squadra team to enhance features and capabilities, fix bugs, and improve the overall user experience.
You might be using or communicating with an Agent created or deployed through the Squadra platform, but that Agent was created, deployed, distributed, advertised or in any way made available to you by a third party. In that case, your contract and terms must be established with that third party. Squadra is not responsible for any contract or terms that do not comply with the Squadra terms and policies.
Nonetheless, any party that uses the Squadra Platform to distribute Agents must have agreed to provide you with Terms & Conditions complying with these Terms, and they are responsible for any Breach of these Terms or applicable Laws and Regulations. See Warrants & Liabilities.

The solution proposed by Squadra ****relies on the following technologies:
The Squadra web application is accessible at https://app.squadra.ai and serves as the only public entry point to the platform.
Authentication: The platform uses authentication via JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Users must authenticate through a Google or Microsoft account to obtain a JWT (which can be refreshed regularly). A JWT without an expiration date (but revocable) can also be generated and linked to a user account and organization. This token can be used as a secret API key to establish a stable and permanent server-to-server connection.
API: All platform functionalities are accessible through a REST API, whose specifications are available at this URL: https://app.squadra.ai/api.
User interfaces: The Squadra user and admin interface is a Single Page Application (SPA) directly built on top of the API and authentication system described above.
Cloud Platform Infrastructure: Ensures high availability, scalability, and enhanced data security.
PostgreSQL Database (hosted on the Cloud infrastructure and not exposed to the internet): Stores information related to the platform’s organizations and users; stores the configuration data of the agents (prompts, functions, integrations, tests, etc.); stores data generated from the service usage (e.g., agent usage history, analytics).
ElasticSearch Database (hosted on the Cloud infrastructure and not exposed to the internet): stores any business-specific data made accessible to the agents
Foundation Model Providers: We will only use providers which terms and policies are at least on par with OpenAI when it comes to data protection, confidentiality and security.
Data Processing Addendum (DPA): Unless a contract specifies otherwise, this Agreement includes the DPA whenever data protection laws apply to your use of the Services to process Customer Personal Data.
Squadra’s Privacy Policy and DPA: Squadra’s Privacy Policy aims to simplify explanations of how it processes Personal Data on behalf of the Customer for easy understanding by Users. Unless stated otherwise, any processing of Customer Personal Data is governed by the DPA, and in case of a conflict between the DPA and the Privacy Policy, the DPA takes precedence.
Transfer of Personal Data to Third-Party Service Providers: When you enable, access, or use Third-Party Provider Services through the Squadra platform (such as AI Model Provider services), you authorise Squadra to transfer Customer Data—including Personal Data—to these third parties according to their functionality and pursuant to the DPA. If you incorporate your own code or functions that interact with External Provider Services, you acknowledge that this may result in the transfer of Personal Data to those providers, and you are solely responsible for ensuring these transfers comply with their functionality and applicable Data Protection Laws.
Personal Data: You are solely responsible for ensuring that the processing of Personal Data uploaded to Squadra’s Services by you or your End Users complies with the agreed DPA and applicable Data Protection Laws.
