# Private & Local AI: Your Models, Your Compute, Your Data

Most companies rent their AI by the seat and send their data to someone else’s servers. You can also own it. We build private AI that runs on hardware you control: an open model on a single computer, a GPU workstation for a team, or a dedicated AI server on your company network that works as your in-house model, answering from your own documents with your permissions, logs and rules. When the cloud is the better fit, we set up ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini properly instead. Either way, you own the setup, the data and the know-how.

## Who we help

Law firms, clinics, accountants, manufacturers, engineering firms, schools and any company with files that shouldn’t leave the building, plus owners who would rather own their AI than rent it forever.

## How it works

1. **Free fit call:** What should the AI do, which data can it see and who will use it? We tell you honestly whether local, cloud or hybrid fits best, with rough costs for each.
2. **Sizing and pilot:** We size the hardware and models to your users and documents, then pilot on your real work so you see the quality before buying more.
3. **Build and lock down:** Hardware built and tested under load, models served behind company sign-in with permissions and logging, document search connected and staff trained.
4. **Own it, with backup:** Everything is documented and in your name. On an optional care plan we keep models, security patches and backups current.

## Private AI FAQs

### Is a private model as good as ChatGPT or Claude?

For drafting, summarizing, searching your documents and most everyday work, today’s open models are very capable. For the hardest reasoning the largest cloud models still lead, which is why many companies run a hybrid: sensitive work stays local and approved tasks can use a cloud model.

### What hardware does it take?

Anything from a recent computer with plenty of memory for one person, to a GPU workstation for a team, to a dedicated multi-GPU server for a whole company. We size it to your users, models and documents and quote it upfront.

### Do we own it?

Yes. The hardware, the configuration, your fine-tuned models and your data are yours, documented and handed over. Open models come with licenses, and we check that each one allows your use.

### Can it work completely offline?

Yes. Local models can run with no internet connection at all, which is how we set up air-gapped systems for sensitive work.
