Private AI setup

Your own AI. On your hardware. Nobody else's servers.

A capable private assistant — drafting, search, home control — plus a voice interface and automations, installed on hardware you own, working with your data, with nothing leaving the building. No subscriptions, no per-token bills, no terms-of-service changes.

What you get

  • A private LLM stack (chat, documents, search) installed on hardware you provide (desktop, laptop, or mini-PC)
  • Voice assistant pipeline: speech-to-text, local reasoning, natural voice replies
  • Automations wired to your actual life or business — briefings, dashboards, agents
  • Full data sovereignty: your conversations and documents never touch a third-party cloud
  • Documentation and handover — it's yours, and it keeps working if we never speak again
  • An honest answer, even if it's "not yet" — I'll tell you if local AI genuinely isn't ready for what you want

This isn't a demo of someone else's product. It's the system I live on — see the JARVIS case study: a private voice assistant running an entire digital life on self-hosted hardware, 24/7, with sub-second responses and zero SaaS costs. Proof so far is my own stack — early client installs are in progress.

If the voice assistant or automations touch other people in your household, including kids, I'll ask for your OK before anything of theirs gets processed.

Pricing

Private AI Install

$2,500–5,000 fixed

Scoped to your hardware and use cases, installed and tuned until it's genuinely useful — not a science project. Fixed price agreed up front. You provide the hardware; I configure and tune it. Currently paused for new installs — the readiness review above stays open.

Updates & Care

from $500/mo

A defined block of hours each month — model updates, new automations, monitoring, and fixes. Changes tested before they touch your running system, best-efforts support, not a 24/7 SLA. Currently paused for new retainers.

Book the AI Readiness Review

Tell me what you'd want a private AI to do — and what hardware you have, if any. I'll tell you honestly whether local AI is ready for it.

How I work with live systems: everything gets built and tested in an isolated environment first — nothing touches your running setup until you've seen it work. Before any change that writes, deletes, or sends anything on your behalf goes live, I confirm you have a working backup and get your written approval. I don't guarantee uptime, security, or outcomes — you make the final call on what goes live and when.

Before any engagement starts: you get a signed scope of work and a short liability waiver — price, exclusions, and what happens if something outside that scope comes up, spelled out in writing. A 50% deposit secures the booking; the rest is due at completion. Security question or concern? security@systemswright.com.
