Private AI. Practical hardware. No API meter.

Make the computer you own work like an AI studio.

We design and document private, open-source AI systems for ordinary Windows computers—without locking you into another monthly subscription.

The problem

You should not need a data center—or a dozen subscriptions—to start using useful AI.

Most setup advice ignores the computer you already have. We start with your real processor, memory, storage and goals, then build the smallest system that can do the job reliably.

Observed, not advertised

We tested the system on a real 16 GB AMD laptop.

The larger agent profile was too slow. A smaller open model completed the bounded workflow, and human review caught a misleading statement before it could be used.

The method

Four deliberate steps.
No mystery box.

01

Audit

We map the computer, available memory, privacy needs and the first workflow worth automating.

02

Design

We choose a model, context size and isolation boundary that match the hardware—not marketing claims.

03

Build

We install, connect and test each component with conservative limits and explicit approval gates.

04

Hand off

You receive operating instructions, recovery steps and a system you can inspect, stop and change.

Before you buy

Is your computer ready?

Start with five facts. We will not recommend a setup until the hardware and goal make sense together.

Straight answers

Frequently asked

Does local AI mean completely free?

The software can avoid monthly AI fees, but your computer, electricity, internet and any optional hardware upgrades remain real costs.

Will every computer run the same model?

No. Model size, context and speed must be matched to available memory and the actual workload.

Can you guarantee business results?

No. We can build and test a technical system; we cannot guarantee revenue, customers or platform outcomes.

Do you need access to my entire computer?

No. The default design uses restricted project folders and isolated containers wherever practical.
