Private hosting and local AI on NixOS. For organisations that won't hand client and case data to US cloud providers.
Professional secrecy and GDPR make ChatGPT & co. a legal problem. Local AI solves that: you can paste your case files into it.
For cost, control or principle. Mail, calendar, files and passwords on a server that is yours.
Reproducible infrastructure as code, without hiring someone full-time.

All prices excl. VAT. Data centres in Germany, Finland or Belgium; on-premise on request.
What runs now, what should go, what should be added.
Within 5 working days.

Sister service: buildaiagents.be — AI automation and training for SMEs.
For summarising, drafting email, searching documents and structuring: yes. For cutting-edge reasoning slightly less — but you rarely need that, and you can paste your case files into it.
The configuration and the data are yours. Any NixOS administrator can take over.
Both. Data centre (Germany/Finland/Belgium) is cheaper; on-premise when professional secrecy or internal rules require it.
Daily, encrypted, at a second location. Restore test every quarter.
