Private AI Appliance
On-Site AI. Local by Default.
Hardware in your building, running local inference — with a routing policy that only reaches out to the cloud when a task genuinely needs it, visibly rather than silently.
Why On-Prem
For Data That Shouldn't Leave the Building
Some businesses cannot or will not send certain information to a third-party model — customer records, financials, anything under a contractual or regulatory constraint. This offering exists for exactly that case, without giving up AI assistance entirely.
Local by Default
No data leaves the building unless the routing policy says so.
Hybrid Routing
Cloud models handle only the tasks that genuinely need them.
Optional Voice
A voice interface for structured, everyday requests.
Visible, Not Silent
How Hybrid Routing Actually Decides
The same routing discipline we sell is the one we run. Every request is handled by the simplest capable model — and which one handled it is never a mystery.
| Example Request | Handled By |
|---|---|
| Looking up a customer record or internal document | Local |
| Drafting a routine internal email or summary | Local |
| Complex reasoning over a long, unfamiliar document | Cloud (visible) |
| Voice command to check status or trigger a known workflow | Local |
The exact policy is configured per install — what counts as sensitive, which tasks are allowed to escalate, and what happens when the local model is uncertain are all decisions we make with you, not for you.
Proven on Our Own Infrastructure First
This is not a vendor pitch for hardware we have never run. The install runbook, routing policy, and tool-integration catalog behind this offering come directly from our own on-site AI hub — see the case study for how it actually works day to day.
