Want to bring AI in,
without the headaches?

Local AI runs on a machine in your building instead of someone else's data centre. Your data does not leave. Your costs do not scale with every word you type. And nothing changes overnight because a vendor decided to.

What we do

Three ways we help a small organisation use AI properly.

You don't need a data science team. You need hardware that fits under a desk, software that stays put, and someone who can explain it to the people who'll actually use it.

Local AI setup

We install and tune a machine that runs models on your own network. Documents, drafting, search, summarising, code — the everyday stuff, without any of it leaving the building.

White-label branding

Machines finished in your colours, with your logo on the front panel and custom cases to match. Fleet-consistent hardware that looks like it belongs to you rather than arriving generic.

Team build workshops

Your people assemble the machines themselves, guided start to finish. Hands-on, genuinely useful, and the fastest way to turn "AI is scary" into "I built that."

The honest comparison

What changes when the AI is yours.

With a cloud subscription

  • Every prompt leaves your network
  • Per-seat billing that grows as you use it
  • Features removed or renamed without asking
  • Model quality shifts and you can't tell why
  • Outages and rate limits you don't control
  • Policy terms you have to re-read every quarter

With a box in your office

  • Data stays on your hardware, on your network
  • One purchase — no meter on every request
  • Same tools and same interface indefinitely
  • Same model today, tomorrow, and next year
  • Works with the internet unplugged
  • Auditable — you can see exactly what's running

Small footprint. Real capability.

This is not a rack in a warehouse. It's a 4.5-litre machine you can put on a shelf, and it will run useful models all day.

Common questions

Straight answers, no sales pitch.

What is local AI for business?

Local AI means the model runs on a computer in your own building instead of on someone else's server. Your data does not leave your network, you are not billed per request, and the software behaves the same way every day.

Do I need a datacenter to run AI?

No. A single 4.5-litre machine drawing under 120 watts can run useful business models all day. It sits on a shelf, not in a rack, and needs no special cooling or power.

Is local AI cheaper than a cloud subscription?

For steady daily use, usually yes. Cloud AI bills per seat and per request, so cost grows with adoption. A local box is one purchase with no meter on it. The break-even depends on how much you use it, so ask us and we will run your numbers honestly.

What can a local AI actually do for a small business?

Drafting and editing documents, summarising long files, searching your own documents, answering questions about material you provide, and writing or reviewing code. It works offline and keeps every document on your hardware.

Is my data safe with local AI?

It stays on your machine and your network. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is used to train someone else's model, and you can audit exactly what is running because the software is open source.

Can you brand the machines for our company?

Yes. We do white-label work: your colours, your logo on the front panel, and custom cases. Hardware stays consistent across a whole fleet.

Do you run team workshops?

Yes. Your team assembles the machines themselves, guided start to finish. It is hands-on, and it is the fastest way to turn "AI is intimidating" into "I built that."

Tell us what you need it for. We'll tell you honestly if this fits.

Bring a real task from your week — the thing you'd like AI to handle — and we'll show you whether a local box can do it, roughly what it costs, and what the tradeoffs are. If it's not a good fit we'll say so in the first call rather than sell you something.

We're a small, independent shop and this offering is new — which means you get direct access to the people building and supporting it, not a ticket queue. Pricing is quoted per engagement and depends on what you need; we don't publish a rate card before we've done the work.
