AIA Files
Frictionless Distribution
Create new agent-driven products! Unlock cost savings and the power of seamless AI distribution with PinionAI's Agent File Type (AIA). Package, secure, and share your sophisticated AI Agents with enterprise-grade control and frictionless deployment.
The Power of AIA Files
Create AI agents that are not just intelligent, but also intelligently managed and distributed. The result? AI that works for you, on your terms, wherever and whenever you need it.
At the core of our architecture is the .aia file—a portable, secure representation of your AI Agent designed for security and frictionless sharing.
File-Based
Simple download and transfer like any digital file. Complete, encrypted agent, or secure lightweight pointer.
Secure Sharing
Share publicly but control usage through keys, expiration and revocation
Massive Cost Savings Unlocked
Reduce infrastructure costs by up to 77% with AIA file distribution
Traditional AI deployment can require separate infrastructure for each agent—multiple servers, endpoints, and maintenance overhead. AIA files revolutionize this by enabling mass distribution through a single URL endpoint, dramatically reducing your operational costs.
Infrastructure Reduction
Deploy hundreds of AI agents through a single, optimized endpoint instead of maintaining separate infrastructure for each agent.
- Single URL serves unlimited agent variations
- No redeployment required for agent updates
- Reduced server maintenance and monitoring
- Lower bandwidth and storage costs
Operational Efficiency
Streamline your AI operations with centralized management and automatic scaling, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple deployments.
- Centralized agent versioning and updates
- Automated scaling without infrastructure changes
- Simplified compliance and security management
- Reduced DevOps overhead and complexity
Cost Comparison: Traditional vs. AIA Distribution
| Deployment Type | Infrastructure Cost | Maintenance Cost | Scaling Cost | Total Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional (100 Agents) | $250,000 | $150,000 | $100,000 | $500,000 |
| AIA Distribution (100 Agents) | $54,000 | $24,000 | $36,000 | $114,000 |
| Annual Savings: | $386,000 (77%) | |||
*Based on estimated enterprise deployments. Actual savings will vary by scale and use.
Uncompromising Security
Total Lifecycle Control
PinionAI Keys and Versions provide granular control over who can access your agent and when
Security is not an afterthought; it's the foundation of the AIA system. Every AIA file is linked to a PinionAI Key, giving you complete control over access.
Private Mode
Mark a version as "Private" to ensure it can only be used by you or authorized members. Recipients must have the corresponding Key Secret to unlock and use the agent.
- Requires valid key secret to decrypt
- Keys shared selectively with authorized users
- Perfect for proprietary agents and internal tools
- Automatic expiration and revocation features
Public Mode
Create shareable agents for broader teams or clients. Even in public mode, agents remain encrypted or are delivered securely as shortcuts.
- No encryption key required for access
- Freely distributed while maintaining control
- Benefits from key-based expiration/revoking
- Perfect for open-source and community tools
Scheduled Expiration
Set expiration dates on encryption keys to create time-limited AIA files. Perfect for trials, subscriptions, or semester-based access.
- Automatic deactivation on specified dates
- Keys expire, rendering AIA files unusable
- Enable pay-per-use or time-based access
Instant Revocation
Keys can be instantly and permanently revoked at any time. This acts as a powerful "kill switch" for immediate access termination.
- Immediate disabling of associated AIA files
- Powerful kill switch for compromised keys
- Perfect for subscription management
Use Case in Action
The 'AI Classroom Companion'
AIA files transform powerful AI into manageable, secure educational tools, creating richer learning environments.
A Professor's AI Companion for 'History 101'
An intelligent assistant containing a semester's worth of course materials, lecture notes, and teaching slides.
The Process:
- Create the Key: Professor creates "Fall 2025 - History 101" key with semester expiration
- Agent Version: Selects key and exports agent as 'AI Classroom Companion'
- Distribute: Exports AIA shortcuts/files to enrolled students
- Secret Key : Provide secret key to unlock companion, if desired.
- Empower Students: Generate outlines, create quizzes, answer questions 24/7
- Office Hours: Enable Live Help office hours
- Effortless Sunset: Automatic expiration at semester end
