Private AI

The AI your staff want to use, on systems your firm controls.

A private language model on a machine your firm owns, in your office. Your team chats with it, asks questions across your contracts and files, drafts and dictates, and each person sees only what their role allows. Software and setup start from $6,500, and we buy the machine for you at cost.

What it costs

Your own AI, on your own machine

Your firm still gets its own written quote after the free review, and the final price is agreed in a signed agreement. These are starting points, so nothing in the quote is a surprise.

What owners tell us before they call

  • My staff are pasting client files into ChatGPT.

  • We pay per seat for five different AI subscriptions.

  • Our auditors and our clients ask where the data goes.

  • We want AI, but we are a law firm.

What it is

In plain terms.

In most offices somebody has already pasted a client document into a consumer chat window to get a summary, usually the most conscientious person, trying to get the work done. Blocking the site moves it to a phone. Giving them a better tool that the firm controls settles it.

This is that tool. Staff chat with it, search across your own files, draft and dictate, and access follows roles, so an associate and a partner see different folders. On a machine in your office, a document goes from a desk to a box down the hall and back. In your own Azure, AWS or Google account, it stays inside a tenant your firm owns, under your own contract with that provider. Either way there is a clear answer for a client who asks where their data goes.

It works best with a written AI use policy: which tools are approved, what data may go into them, and who to ask. We write that policy with you and train your staff on both. An office machine is bought once rather than rented per seat, and the field notes work through the numbers line by line, including the cases where subscriptions are the better buy.

How it works inside

Where the line is.

The line around your office, or around your own cloud account, is the product. Everything of value happens inside it, and the route out is drawn up to the wall so you can see it stop.

A single line encloses your office, or your own cloud account. Inside it a document goes from a desk to a private model and the answer comes back. A red stroke leaves the model, reaches the office line and stops at a red bar before it can reach an outside server.YOUR OFFICE, OR YOUR OWN CLOUD ACCOUNTA personat a deskPrivate modelon a machineyou controlthe filethe answerInside a boundary your firm owns, and back again.Somebody else'sserverWHAT DOES NOT CROSSclient fileschat transcriptsyour own documents

Drag the drawing sideways to see all of it.

  • The signal, it holds: the office boundary, and the document and the answer moving inside it
  • Red, it breaks: the route out to somebody else's server, stopped at the wall
The red stroke is the only part of this drawing that leaves, and it does not get out. Everything else happens between a desk and a model your firm controls, in the office or in your own cloud account, which is why the boundary is the thing drawn heaviest.
How it works

How a project runs, in order.

A written quote before anything starts, and you watch it work on your own data before it goes live.

  1. 01 / 04

    A free AI review

    Thirty minutes on how your team uses AI today, how many people would use a private tool every day, and whether an office machine or your own cloud account suits you better.

  2. 02 / 04

    Built and sized for your team

    Sized to your team and the model you actually need, then delivered and installed in your office, or set up in your cloud account. Either way, it is yours.

  3. 03 / 04

    Set up with your files, your users, your roles

    Document chat across your own material, accounts for your people, who can see what, and a backup that has been restored once in front of you.

  4. 04 / 04

    Your staff and your admin are trained

    Staff learn what to use it for and what the policy says. Your admin learns to add a person or reindex a folder without a support ticket.

Built from, for your technical lead

Open models on hardware you own or in your own cloud account, with document chat over your own files. We scope document access, application connections and any voice features around the selected models and hardware.

These are established projects and products, named so they can be looked up under their own names.

Good to know

How we scope it.

The details that shape the plan and the price, set out before you call so the quote holds no surprises.

  • 01

    We size the model to your work. Open models handle drafting, summaries and search across your files well, and the quote names any task where a larger hosted model would do better, before you buy.

  • 02

    An office machine needs a spot with power, airflow and a network drop, and a ventilated closet is enough. Firms that would rather not house hardware use their own cloud account instead.

  • 03

    Software and setup start from $6,500. The machine is specified by us and bought at cost, and a complete AI workstation is typically about $7,500. The care plan is $400 a month and optional.

  • 04

    Keeping data on systems you control removes a whole category of risk. We give you a written description of where data lives and who can reach it, ready for your assessor, your insurer or a client questionnaire.

Where next

More of what we build.

Four ways we put AI to work in a firm, and the systems work behind them.

  • AI that talks to your customers

    An AI phone line and a talking website guide that answer from your own documents, day or night, and pass the details to you.

  • AI that does the work

    Agents and integrations that take the retyping, the portal filings and the document intake off your staff.

  • Private AI

    The AI your staff want to use, on a machine in your office or in your own cloud account, with access by role.

  • AI strategy and leadership

    A written plan for where AI pays off, a policy your staff can follow, and a senior lead to keep it on course.

  • Systems that stay up

    Live streams built to stay on air when a camera dies or the internet drops.
