Local & Private AI

AI solutions on our ground, not big tech's.

  • Local AI
  • Private hardware
  • Private processing
  • Optional local hosting

Every business runs on information that's nobody else's business; customer records, pricing, quotes, the day-to-day details. We build AI automations that put that data to work without handing any of it to big tech.

The more it knows, the better it works

AI is only as useful as the context you give it: your documents, your history, the way your business actually runs. The more it knows, the more it can do.

But handing all of that to big tech is exactly what most businesses hesitate to do, and rightly so. Local AI removes the dilemma. The models run on private hardware, so you can give your AI as much context as you want, safely and on your terms, and let everything it knows go to work for you.

How it works

We run open-weight AI models on hardware we own and operate here in Alberta. Your documents inform your automations privately so your data stays in Canada, nothing is sent to big tech AI services, and nothing becomes training material for someone else's model.

For data that can't touch the cloud

Some information shouldn't live on anyone's cloud. It can live on the same private hardware your AI runs on, available to your automations and off everyone else's servers.

In practice

What this looks like.

Ask questions about your contracts, files, and records and receive answers locally, never uploaded to big tech.

Sensitive records processed on our private hardware, with results delivered straight into your workflow.

Information too sensitive for the cloud lives on the same private hardware your AI runs on.

Common questions

Good to know.

What does "local AI" actually mean?

The AI models run on hardware we own and operate in Alberta, not on big tech's cloud. Your data is processed privately in Canada and never sent to services like OpenAI or Google.

Is local AI capable enough for real work?

More than capable. Frontier public models know a little about everything and nothing about your business. Local models empowered with your documents, your history, and your industry context is working with information the big platforms never see. On the tasks your business repeats every day, that context advantage can help auto improve over time and routinely beats raw model size. We match the model to the task, and the results regularly rival or outperform the big-name AI on the work that actually matters to you.

Where does our data live?

Wherever it should. Apps typically run on trusted infrastructure, encrypted in the cloud, and data our AI works with is processed on our private hardware in Alberta, and anything too sensitive for the cloud can live entirely on that hardware.

Can a vendor shut our AI off or raise the price?

No, and that's the point. There's no third-party AI service in the loop that can change terms, cut access, or quietly collect your data.
