PRIVATE & LOCAL AI

Some work needs
a different conversation.

Before choosing a tool, we look at what information you work with, what your organisation allows and what your computer can handle.

AI in the cloud

Your requests are processed by an online service. Data handling depends on the product, account, plan and settings.

  • Often convenient for everyday tasks
  • May fit an approved workplace plan
  • Needs a clear decision about suitable information

AI on your computer

A suitable model can process tasks locally. Online features, connected tools and device security still need checking.

  • Depends on your laptop and the task
  • Can be slower or less capable
  • Needs installation and ongoing maintenance

Privacy first.
Technology second.

Local does not automatically mean confidential. We explain which parts run on your device and which use online services.

Begin with public, approved or redacted examples. Do not send confidential files with your enquiry.

A separate, agreed scope

We discuss suitability first. Local AI installation, specialised document systems and ongoing maintenance are not included in the core pilot.

A GOOD PLACE TO START

Working with sensitive information?
Let's start with the boundaries.

A report. A proposal. The emails you keep rewriting.
Tell us what takes your time. We'll start there.
