Common questions.

Do I need powerful hardware to run a local AI? +

Not necessarily. Modern open-source models like Mistral 7B and Phi-3 run well on mid-range hardware you may already have. For larger models, we'll recommend the right hardware upgrade. It's typically a one-off cost that pays for itself quickly versus per-seat SaaS pricing.

How long does deployment take? +

Most projects go from first call to live system in 2–4 weeks. A basic local LLM with one integration can be running in days. More complex multi-tool automation typically takes 3–6 weeks including training.

Is my data really private? +

Yes. The AI model runs entirely on your own hardware. Your queries, your documents, and your outputs never leave your network. There's no cloud sync, no telemetry, and no third-party data processing. GDPR compliance is straightforward because your data simply doesn't move.

What if the AI makes a mistake? +

All our agent implementations include human-in-the-loop approval gates for consequential actions like sending emails or updating records. The AI proposes, you decide. We also build in logging and audit trails so every action is reviewable.

Do you work with businesses outside tech? +

Absolutely, in fact that's our primary focus. We've worked with accountancy firms, solicitors, manufacturers, care providers, and e-commerce businesses. The companies that benefit most from AI are often the ones who've been told it's "not for them" yet.

What does it cost? +

We work on fixed-price projects, so you always know what you're spending before we start. An AI Readiness Audit starts from £950. Full LLM deployment projects typically range from £3,500 to £12,000 depending on scope. No ongoing per-seat fees, just an optional support retainer if you want us on hand.

Let's talk.

No hard sell. Tell us what your business does and where you're spending too much time and we'll tell you honestly whether AI can help.
