[All four branches](https://studiomeyer.io/en/services/ki-systeme) AI systems · Local # An AI system that sits in your own building. Most AI services send your data to someone else's computers. There is another way: a machine in your office or home that runs your AI system. Your documents stay where they are. You own the hardware. And you don't pay per question you ask. The model on a machine like that is smaller than the big ones in the cloud. For everyday work it goes surprisingly far, and where it doesn't, we say so. [What such a system does](#deliverables)[How setup works](#process) What's inside ## What a local system is made of Not everything has to be there from day one. Most systems start with memory and company knowledge, then grow. A memory It remembers conversations, decisions and connections, and still knows next time what it was about. Your company knowledge Contracts, quotes, minutes, manuals. The system reads your documents and answers from them instead of guessing. Tools it is allowed to use You decide what it may do: draft mails, sort files, track appointments, write reports. Eyes and ears (optional) Cameras and microphones can be connected. In the fully local configuration the raw recordings never leave the network in the building. Remote access or cloud analysis are possible but are agreed explicitly and then written into the quote. Operated from the app you already have You talk to the system through a familiar AI app on your computer or phone. No new interface to learn. Keeps itself running Updates, backups and self-checks happen in the background. You don't need an IT person on site. Who this fits ## When data must not leave the building ### Professions under confidentiality Medical practices, law firms, tax advisors. Where client and patient data simply does not belong on someone else's servers. ### Businesses with sensitive documents Costings, contracts, design data, personnel files. Everything that should stay internal and still be searchable. ### A private brain at home A personal system for your household, paperwork and daily life, without a corporation reading along. How it goes ## From the first question to a running machine 1. 01 ### Conversation We work out what the system should do for you and which data is actually involved. Free, by video or in Palma. 2. 02 ### Scoping Which hardware, which scope, what runs locally and what does not. You get a concrete quote before anything is bought. 3. 03 ### Build We set the machine up, feed it your knowledge and test it against real cases from your day. 4. 04 ### Handover and support We show you and your team how to work with it, and stay on for updates and extensions. Examples ## What already exists in this branch Read in more detail what actually stands in such a spot and what it does. ### The AI machine for the office The device in detail: what runs on it, what it takes over day to day, where its limit sits and what buying it involves. https://studiomeyer.io/en/services/ki-systeme/lokal/ki-rechner FAQ ## Frequently asked What does local actually mean here? That the machine stands with you, in your office or home, and belongs to you. Not a rented server in a data centre that is merely called local. The difference matters: with a rented server your data still sits with a provider. Is a system like that weaker than ChatGPT? In raw model strength, yes. The model on your machine is smaller than what the large providers run in their data centres. In exchange your system knows your documents, your processes and your history, and in daily work that beats raw model strength surprisingly often. Where real thinking power matters, a strong model can be brought in for that specific job. Does my data really stay in the building? The parts that run locally work with your data on the machine at your place. That is the most data-sparing form possible. If you additionally switch on a strong cloud model, we tell you beforehand exactly which data leaves the building, and you decide whether you want that. What does such a system cost? That depends on the hardware and on what the system should be able to do. We clarify both in the intro call, and you get a concrete quote before anything is purchased. What goes away are the running per-request costs that cloud services charge. Does it need the internet? Not for the local part. It keeps working even when the line is down. You need internet for updates and for anything you deliberately connect to the outside. Do you run this yourselves? Yes. We build these systems for ourselves first and work with them daily before we put one in front of anyone. So what you read here is something we actually operate, not a brochure. ## Does that sound like your case? Tell us which data should not go outside at your place. We'll tell you honestly whether a local system is the right way, or whether something simpler does the job too. ## Sitemap Every page of this site as Markdown: [sitemap](https://studiomeyer.io/sitemap.md).
