Private AI for Your Home and Office
Your data never leaves your property. Your AI runs on hardware you own, designed and installed by someone local.

Your Conversations Deserve Better
Every time you use ChatGPT, your conversations — client details, financial plans, medical notes, business strategy — live on someone else's servers.
AI is transforming how professionals work. But cloud AI means trusting the most sensitive parts of your practice to a data center you'll never see.
There's another way. AI that runs in your home on hardware you own — with the option to reach for cloud models when you choose, on your terms.

How It Works
Three steps to private AI
01
We Design
We assess your needs, specify the right hardware, and plan the installation around your space and workflow.
02
We Install
Professional installation of your private AI system — silent, compact, seamlessly integrated with your home network.
03
You Own It
Your AI, your data, your hardware. We provide ongoing support so it just works.

What We Build
Every installation is designed around how you actually work. We start with a conversation, identify what you want your AI to do, and build the system around those needs.
Private Chat & Writing Assistant
A private conversational AI for drafting, thinking through problems, and writing work you wouldn't put in a cloud service. Accessible from any device on your network.
Document Intelligence
Upload contracts, medical notes, client files, estate documents — your AI reads them, summarizes them, answers questions about them. Nothing leaves your property.
Research Assistant
Your AI monitors topics, reads articles, and produces briefings while you sleep. Wake up to a summary of what matters.
Meeting & Conversation Transcription
Record client sessions, family meetings, or business calls and have them transcribed and summarized locally. Especially valuable for practices with client confidentiality obligations.
Business Knowledge System
Your AI learns your business — your records, your customers, your operations — and becomes a reference for you and your staff. Particularly useful for wineries, estates, and small practices with years of accumulated knowledge.
Code & Project Assistant
For the builders among our clients: a private coding workstation that works with your projects without sending your code to third-party services.
Every install runs locally by default. When a specific task benefits from a frontier cloud model, your system can route to cloud on your approval — the rest stays home.
Home Office
Starting around $8,500
For individual professionals and small home-based practices. A single capable system, quietly installed, ready for private chat, document work, and research. Most installs at this level include 2–3 capability modules.
Typical customer. A therapist, attorney, or consultant working from home who wants AI assistance without the cloud privacy compromise.
Professional
Starting around $12,500
For home offices that need more — heavier daily workloads, the full capability loadout, or a second person (a partner, an assistant) sharing the system. More capable hardware than Home Office, wider module coverage, and light multi-user support. Runs in a standard home environment without coordinated power or thermal planning.
Typical customer. A consultant working alongside a business partner, a retired tech executive running research agents and a coding assistant in parallel with daily chat, or a principal who wants the full capability range without the full Estate build scope.
Estate & Small Practice
Starting around $20,000
For wineries, family estates, and small practices with multiple users and more demanding workloads. Designed for shared household or office use, with coordinated power and thermal planning, full capability module loadout, solar system coordination, and extended support.
Typical customer. A wine country estate or small business with an office operation where several people need access to a shared, private AI system.
These three installs are illustrative anchors, not fixed SKUs. Projects frequently land between them. Scope and price are set during the initial conversation based on capability modules selected, number of users, and household or office environment.
