The practice

Sovereign AI, installed.

Private AI on hardware you own, installed at your desk or your site. Your material stays on the box. We never hold a copy.

Who it's for.

People and teams whose material can't go to a cloud.

Writers

Drafts, notes and correspondence under contract, or behind a legal wall between studio work and your own.

Law

Case files and privileged correspondence that stay inside the firm.

Medicine

Clinical notes, protocols and reference material on a box inside the practice.

Research

Unpublished data, lab notebooks and drafts before they are ready to share.

Field operations

Sites with no reliable connection: farms, ships, clinics, disaster response.

Government contractors

Material that has to stay on premises by rule, with a log you can show.

Two boxes, one system.

Same software, same install, same log. Pick the box that fits where the work happens.

Desk box · Mac mini

Archives, answers with sources.

Your drafts, email, memos, photos of notes and years of chat history in one private index. Ask in plain language, get the passage and the page it came from. Silent, sits beside the desk, works with the network cable out. This is BrainBox.

Field box · NVIDIA Jetson

Offline, vision first.

The box runs its own hotspot. Your phone joins it, sends a photo and a question, and gets an answer. No internet at any point. Built for clinics, farms, ships, disaster response and remote schools. In development; ask about a pilot.

Any stack.

We install BrainBox on a Mac. Where a bigger model or a different workflow fits better, we install Perplexity Portable Computer on a DGX Spark instead. Either way you get a written note saying which one and why. Note: since September 2026 the Perplexity Mac app runs some steps on local models for sensitive files (hybrid compute). That is an account-based agent with local steps. BrainBox is an archive that stays on the box with no account. If you want the first, we say so.

What every install includes.

Homenest

Runs on the box and lists every process and every outbound connection. Alerts your phone if the list changes.

Local usage log

Each question, the pages retrieved, the model and the time, on the box, for you. Open it, export it, or delete it.

Tested backup

One command to back up to a drive you own, one to restore. We run both at handover while you watch.

90 days on call

Email or phone, screen-share when needed, you at the keyboard.

Services.

Work on the model after the install, measured the same way each time.

Fine-tuning

A small open model trained on your own material, on your box. We've taken an open model from 60% to 90% on a client's domain documents.

Accuracy improvement

We write a benchmark from your questions, run it before, change one thing, run it after. You see both numbers.

Model upgrades

When a better open model ships, we test it on your benchmark and swap it in if it wins.

Evaluation design

A question set and a scoring rule that fit your work, so "better" means something you can check.

Limits.

This is a reference assistant, not a clinician or a lawyer. Answers cite what the model saw, so you can check them. When the material doesn't contain the answer, it says so.

Have material that can't go to a cloud?

30 minutes. I'll tell you which box fits and what it costs. See the products we install.
