01 / Your world

A little less busywork.
A little more possibility.

You don’t need another technology project.
You need help with something real.

On your own computer.

A private assistant for the questions, documents, and personal projects that are part of everyday life.

Talk about my home setup

We choose and test the tasks together. What works depends on your model, hardware, and documents.

02 / Control, made practical

Your information.
Your equipment.
Your call.

For the local workflows we configure, your documents are processed on your own machine. You know what the assistant can access and when a person needs to review the result.

Illustrated local workflow
  1. Start with your material

    Your documents

    On your disk
  2. A model chosen for the task

    Your local assistant

    On your machine
  3. Check it before you use it

    A draft you review

    Your decision

A clear path from your information to a useful starting point. Human judgment stays in the loop.

Local doesn’t mean infallible or automatically compliant. Explore the local-versus-cloud comparison, or try the private fit check before we talk.

03 / Built around you

Start small.
Make it useful.

A clear plan before you buy hardware or commit to a setup.

  1. 01 / Talk

    Bring one real task.

    We look at what you want help with, the information involved, and the computer you have. You leave with a written plan.

  2. 02 / Set up

    Build the right fit.

    I configure the model and workflow, explain the boundaries, and test it with the kind of work you actually do.

  3. 03 / Make it yours

    Learn it. Use it. Own it.

    You get hands-on training and a written runbook. Ongoing care is optional, with someone familiar to call.

Setup scope and hardware costs are agreed before the work begins.See current services & pricing

04 / The person doing the work

Hi, I’m Brian.
I’ll be the one
setting it up.

Decades in the trades taught me to make things work where people actually depend on them. I bring that same care to private AI: understand the job, build it properly, and prove it works.

“The person who does the work doesn’t get to grade their own work.”
