1. MetaLark Hosted
The “easiest” option
MetaLark Hosted begins as self-registration to provision a private, hosted MetaLark instance in our cloud. You’ll have full access to all core MetaLark features, including our extensive APIs and predefined integrations. MetaLark takes care of everything else, from hosting and bandwidth to all applicable token charges.

2. Partner-Installed
The “invisible” option
Optimized for MetaLark’s vendor partners, this approach allows our partners to “fully bake” MetaLark into their own LMS or EdTech platform using our APIs, accessed via their own platform features & UX screens. This lower-cost option is optimized for vendors with large-scale content volumes who are seeking full control. It also requires the most technical effort, due to the need to deeply integrate MetaLark’s features into their third-party environments.

3. Forward Deployed
The “hybrid” option
For teams seeking a more controlled & secure but expedited approach, the Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) option allows our customers or partners to use MetaLark in their own secure, controlled AWS accounts. They can leverage MetaLark’s technical & support resources to initially install, then help maintain their MetaLark implementations remotely. Teams bear the cost of hosting & tokens themselves, but are free to use MetaLark-extracted content with any AI agents & third-party LLMs using APIs or MCP services. This option is delivered as the MetaLark Content Intelligence Server (MCIS).
