Proof ยท Case study
Private AI: the system I run on my own hardware.
Most of the AI people use runs on someone else's servers. Mine runs on a PC in my house, so nothing it reads goes to an AI company. This page shows what it does, the numbers from its own records, and what the same setup looks like in a business.
At a glance
- Photos and videos it keeps searchable by what's in them: 18,898 (161 GB)
- Where the AI model runs: one PC in my house
- Backups: automatic, every night at 4:30 am
- Fees per question: none. It runs on hardware I own.
- Built: 2026
What it does
- Answers in plain words, by chat or by voice, from one AI model running on my own graphics card.
- Looks and describes: the same model reads what a camera sees.
- Keeps my photo library private and searchable by what's in each picture, without uploading a single file.
- Backs itself up every night at 4:30 am.
The same setup, for a business
Private AI is the same idea in your office: an AI on a computer you own, working from your own files. Your documents, mail and client records stay in your building, and there's no fee per question.
| What mine does | What it becomes in your business |
|---|---|
| Answers in plain words from what it knows | An internal knowledge assistant: your team asks, and it answers from your own documents. |
| Reads what a camera sees | Document processing: forms, invoices and receipts read and filed, exceptions flagged. |
| Keeps a private library searchable | Your records searchable in plain words, without uploading them anywhere. |
| Backs itself up every night | The same discipline on yours: nothing important lives in one place. |
What stays mine
AI does the lift. The judgment, and the name on the work, stay mine. It doesn't send what it reads to an AI company, and it doesn't make my decisions.
