Private Local AI · York Region & GTA

AI that never leaves your building.

A real language model — the same class of AI behind the big cloud assistants — running on a machine in your office, answering from your documents. Nothing goes to the cloud, because nothing has to.

Who this is for

Businesses whose documents are the business — and anyone who wants their information to stay their own:

  1. Law and paralegal offices — client files that can't go to someone else's servers, ever.
  2. Medical and dental clinics — patient records, consent forms, protocols that PHIPA says stay home.
  3. Accounting, bookkeeping, and financial advisors — client financials that shouldn't train anyone's model.
  4. Trades and engineering shops — drawings, specs, and quotes answerable without someone digging through a filing cabinet.
  5. Anyone tired of per-seat AI subscriptions — one machine, one setup fee, no monthly license per employee.
  6. Any person or business that simply wants their information kept at home — documents, records, and personal files stay on your own machine instead of being uploaded to a cloud service. No drama about it; plenty of people just prefer their files to stay theirs.

What it runs on

Not custom-built mystery hardware — you can price these boxes yourself right now. One machine serves the whole office over your own network; nobody buys their own AI computer. Here are real machines, with Canadian street prices as of November 2026, for a typical 10-person office:

MachineRoughlyGood for
Mac Studio (Apple M5 Max / Ultra)from C$3,500; larger memory configs to about C$9,000Everyday office use — staff chat, document Q&A, drafting, summaries. Quiet, desk-sized, energy efficient.
GEEKOM A9 Mega (128GB mini PC)about C$4,700–5,000A mini PC with 128GB of memory — big models, whole-office use, small footprint. Sold and shipped by GEEKOM Canada.
NVIDIA DGX Spark (128GB)about C$8,300–11,500The premium option: the fastest answers, the largest models, heavy multi-user days. Overkill for many offices — sometimes exactly right.

Compare that to per-seat subscriptions: one machine, bought once, is roughly what ten people pay in AI licenses every year — except it's yours, it keeps working when the internet is down, and it never sends a document anywhere.

And you may not need to buy anything at all. A capable workstation you already own — a desktop with 32–64GB of memory — runs a useful office model today. The assessment says honestly whether your existing hardware is enough, and if it isn't, exactly what to buy and why.

What you actually get

A quiet desktop box, sized to your work — not a server room, not a rack you have to cool. On it:

PartWhat it means in plain English
A real AI modelA large language model installed and tuned on your hardware. It runs locally — day-to-day use works even with the internet down.
Your documents, searchableYour policies, contracts, forms, and files are indexed so questions get answered from your own material, with sources — not from the model's general training.
Staff accessA simple chat interface on your network. If your staff can use a web browser, they can use this.
TrainingA hands-on session for your team: what to ask, what not to trust, how to check an answer against the source.
CareUpdates, backups, and new document sets folded into the monthly operations retainer — or handled per-visit if you prefer.

Take it with you — without putting it online

The model stays in the office. You don't have to.

At home at 10 pm, at court, on a laptop in a café: you open the same chat in your browser and ask your office AI a question, and it answers from your office's files. The trip back is private — a tunnel only your own devices can see. It's the same idea as walking into your office and opening a filing cabinet, except the cabinet comes to you.

Two things this is not:

And it doesn't have to live in a browser tab. The same private connection can hook the AI up to the messaging apps you already use — text your office AI from Telegram, WhatsApp or Signal and the answer comes back to your phone. Same files, same machine, same tunnel; the chat just happens to arrive where you already look.

Remote access is set up during installation, on the devices you actually use. It's part of the build, not an add-on — and it's how I use my own system when I'm not at my desk.

How it starts

  1. Free 30-minute call. You describe your documents and your workflows; I tell you honestly whether private AI is worth it for you.
  2. Written assessment. What the machine needs to be, which documents get indexed first, what answers you'll get on day one versus month three.
  3. Fixed quote. Setup is a one-time cost — hardware plus installation — with optional monthly care. Quote-based because an honest quote requires seeing your actual situation; anyone who prices this sight unseen is guessing.

When this is the wrong answer

Being straight about limits is part of the service:

You don't need this if you just want a chatbot on your website, or you're happy sending your data to a big cloud provider. A hosted service is cheaper for that, and I'll tell you when that's the case.

You probably do if your documents are confidential by law or by promise, if you're paying per-seat AI fees for a whole staff, or if you want AI that keeps working when the internet doesn't.

Why I can build this

Not a reseller, not a slide deck. I run exactly this kind of system every day: a 100+ billion parameter model on my own hardware, with search over thousands of documents, on machines that never touch someone else's cloud. The setup I sell you is the setup I use. More about me →

Questions owners ask first

The questions that come up on every first call, answered plainly. More of them live on the FAQ page.

Does my data ever leave my office?

No. The model, the document index, and the chat interface all run on your own hardware and network. Day-to-day use works even when the internet is down.

What does a private AI setup cost?

Quote-based: a free 30-minute call, a written assessment, then a fixed quote. Hardware plus one-time installation, with optional monthly care at $150–$300.

Do I need a server room?

No. A quiet desktop box sized to your work, on a desk or in a closet — no racks, no cooling upgrades.

What does the hardware cost for an office of about 10 people?

Roughly C$3,500 to C$11,500 for one machine, depending on how hard it has to work: a Mac Studio from about C$3,500, a 128GB GEEKOM A9 Mega around C$4,700–5,000, an NVIDIA DGX Spark around C$8,300–11,500. One machine serves the whole office, and existing hardware is often enough.

Can I reach my office AI from home or while traveling?

Yes. Your devices reach the machine through a private tunnel only your own devices can see. Nothing is hosted by a third party and the machine has no public door — remote access is set up during installation, on the devices you actually use.

Can I talk to my office AI through Telegram or WhatsApp?

Yes. The private connection can hook the model up to messaging apps, so you text your office AI from your phone and the answer comes back in the app. The model and your documents still never leave your machine.

When is private AI the wrong answer?

If you just want a website chatbot, or you are comfortable sending your data to a big cloud provider. A hosted service is cheaper for that, and I will say so on the call.
