AI for organisations that
cannot use the cloud.
Schools, law firms, accountants, therapists, medical practices. Anywhere data sovereignty matters. We build AI that runs on your hardware, behind your walls, owned by you.
Most AI tools, from ChatGPT to Gemini to Claude, work by sending your data to someone else's server. That is fine for many organisations. For others, it is not possible at all.
UK GDPR, child protection legislation, legal professional privilege, NHS data sharing rules, and financial regulatory requirements all create real legal barriers to cloud-based AI use. These are not edge cases. They affect schools, law firms, accountancy practices, medical and therapy settings, and a wide range of other regulated sectors.
Most AI consultancies cannot help these organisations. Either because they only know how to deploy cloud tools, or because they have not worked closely enough with the sectors to understand the constraints. We can help. Private AI is built for exactly this situation.
Five sectors we serve directly.
Schools and multi-academy trusts
Data protection for minors is not optional. Safeguarding teams, pastoral records, and pupil data all require a level of privacy that cloud AI cannot guarantee. MATs can deploy trust-wide intelligence while keeping each school's data within its own boundary.

Client confidentiality and legal privilege mean data cannot leave the firm. Full stop. We build AI that drafts, summarises, and researches entirely on your infrastructure, with no data ever sent to an external server.
Accountancy practices
Financial data, client records, and compliance obligations all sit in a category that requires explicit controls. On-premise AI gives your team the productivity of modern AI tools without exposing client information to third parties.
Medical practices and therapists
Patient data is governed by some of the strictest rules in UK law. NHS data sharing requirements, professional duty of confidentiality, and GDPR all point the same direction. We build AI that works inside your walls and nowhere else.
Any other regulated organisation
If your sector places constraints on how data is stored, processed, or shared, you probably already know that mainstream AI tools are not available to you. We work case by case. The Audit is the right starting point.
One approach. Three sizes.
Whether you are a single-site practice or a trust spanning fifty schools, the same principle applies. Your data stays on your hardware.
Single site
Who it suits: One school, a small law firm, a sole-practitioner therapist
A dedicated machine on your premises. Runs locally. Capable, fast, private. No data leaves your building.
Mid-size organisation
Who it suits: A growing SME, a medium law firm, a multi-clinic practice
An on-premise server with multi-user access, integrated with your existing systems and workflows.
Large or multi-site
Who it suits: A MAT with 10 to 50 schools, a regional firm, a distributed practice
Distributed deployment with central management. The same intelligence across every site, with each site's data kept separate.
What it does well. What it does not.
We will not pretend on-premise AI can do everything a cloud model can. We will tell you which problems need which approach, and we will not recommend one when the other is clearly better.
What private AI does well
- Writing and drafting: letters, reports, summaries, communications
- Document analysis: reading and extracting from contracts, policies, case files
- Internal Q&A: answering questions from your own documents and knowledge base
- Research support: synthesising information you already hold
- Meeting notes and transcription, kept entirely on-site
What genuinely needs the cloud
- Very large model intelligence for highly specialist or novel tasks
- Real-time web search and live external data
- Tasks that require the very frontier of AI capability
If your problem falls into this category, we will say so after the Audit and advise accordingly.
Quoted per engagement.
Pricing depends on organisation size, number of users, and the scope of deployment. Indicative figures are provided after the Audit, once we understand your situation. Pricing detail will be added here shortly.
