Mode A
Air-gapped
Nothing in, nothing out. The strictest setup, for offices with the tightest confidentiality requirements.
Service · Private AI Appliance
Private AI that never leaves the building.
A ChatGPT-style assistant that reads your own documents and answers your team’s questions, running on a quiet computer in your office. No cloud. No per-seat subscriptions. No data leaving your premises.
Talk to me about a fit01/The idea
Why this exists.
Plenty of small businesses want what AI can do but can’t - or won’t - send sensitive client data to a cloud service. The Private AI Appliance puts a capable assistant entirely on hardware you own, on your own network.
02/What it is
A small computer that thinks for your team.
A near-silent box that sits on your office network. Your team uses it through a normal web browser - the experience feels like ChatGPT, but the assistant is private, on-site, and trained on your own documents.
03/The promise
Your data physically never leaves the building.
You own the appliance outright. No per-seat meter running forever. No quiet contract that trains someone else’s model on your files.
Mode B
Private, web-connected
Same on-premise privacy, with the option for the assistant to reach the open web when current information helps.
04/What it does
What it does for your team.
Four ways it earns its keep day to day.
№ 01
Answer staff questions
Instant answers pulled from your own policies, manuals, contracts, and files - so the right answer doesn’t depend on the right person being at their desk.
№ 02
Draft routine work
Letters, summaries, follow-ups, the standard correspondence your team writes the same way every week.
№ 03
Summarize long documents
Turn a fifty-page report or a long thread into the parts that actually need a human decision.
№ 04
Onboard new hires
New staff can ask the assistant the obvious questions instead of interrupting the person who knows everything.
05/Who it’s for
Built for privacy-sensitive small businesses.
Medical and dental offices. Accounting and bookkeeping firms. Law practices. Insurance agencies. Family-owned businesses sitting on documents that should not be uploaded to a public cloud. If your files would be a problem in someone else’s breach notification, this is the shape AI should take for you.
06/How it works
Three steps.
Done-for-you from scoping to ongoing support.
Step 01
Scope honestly
I figure out what you actually need and where your documents live. If your existing tools already do the job, I’ll tell you.
Step 02
Install and load
I install and configure a right-sized appliance on your network, and load it with the documents your team should be able to ask about.
Step 03
Train and run
I train your team to get real value from it, and stick around to keep it running.
Talk
Want to see if it’s a fit?
Fifteen minutes, no pitch. Tell me what you’re trying to protect and what your team is currently fighting with. I’ll tell you honestly whether this is the right approach for you.
