Private AI Software Development

Every other vendor rents you an AI in the cloud.
We install one in your office.

Two engineers who believe the AI running your business should live in your building — on hardware you own, with data that never leaves.

The Idea

You've seen what AI can do.
You shouldn't have to rent it forever.

Every tool you've been sold lives on someone else's servers. Every prompt, every document, every client name — uploaded, logged, priced per seat, and gone the day the subscription lapses. For a business holding anything sensitive, that isn't a workflow. It's a liability you're paying for monthly.

We build the other thing. Software designed around how your business actually works, deployed on hardware that sits in your office, talking to data that never leaves the building. No logins to our cloud. No per-seat pricing. No model provider owning your inputs. Just a system you can unplug and take with you.

"The thing we can ship fastest is the ability to walk into a business, have a conversation, and start developing tools for it right away."

What We Build

Three ways to start.

Every engagement begins with a conversation and ends with software you own. No hourly billing. No lock-in. No cloud dependency.

Discovery Retainer

$2,500 · one week

A half-day audit of your workflows, a two-page action plan, and a working demo. You'll see exactly what your AI could do before committing to a build.

Custom Build

$20K – $150K+ · fixed fee

Bespoke private-AI software designed, built, and deployed on your infrastructure. Tailored to your operation. Every line of code is yours when we're done.

Ongoing Support

$500 – $5K / month

Continuous iteration, new capabilities, and a direct line to the engineers who built it. Your AI grows as the business does.

What the Money Buys

What does $20K get me versus $150K?

Every build is scoped from a conversation, not a menu. These are three representative shapes at three price points — real builds tend to land somewhere between them.

Entry

$20K

Ships in 2–4 weeks

Single-tool automation with RAG on your documents

One high-value workflow automated end-to-end

Platform

$150K+

Ships in 10–16 weeks

Full operational platform for the whole business

Complete private-AI operating layer across departments
Multi-user, role-based, auditable
Hardware cluster sized to your throughput
Custom agents purpose-built for your operation
Ongoing retainer relationship, phased roadmap

Every quote is a fixed fee, written in the contract, before a single line of code is written.

Why This Works

The product is the operation.

We don't pitch slides and disappear into a statement of work. We show up running a stack, build alongside your team, and deploy working software early. The infrastructure you'd hire us to build is the infrastructure we already run every day.

Every tool we build for a client, we build with the same private-AI systems we use internally — battle-tested, private, production-grade on day one.

◆

Fritz — AI application engine

Our core platform. RAG, agents, tools — runs on-premises.

◇

Hive — distributed compute

Multi-node worker cluster for parallel workloads and redundancy.

◊

Private LLMs — zero data leakage

Models run locally. No cloud calls. Full air-gap capable.

○

Custom tooling — your workflow, automated

Purpose-built software, not off-the-shelf integrations.

See the Operation

What we actually run.

Most firms talk about what they'd build. Here's a representation of the Command Center we built for ourselves — the orchestrator that dispatches agents, monitors the stack, and coordinates the whole operation. When you hire us, we build you one.

We don't pitch this infrastructure. We run our business on it. When you hire us, we build you one.

How It Works

From call to deployment.

Qualify Call
