Private AI for small firms.

Help drafting, summarizing and searching your own documents, with AI on a machine I own and operate. I won't send your files to ChatGPT or any other outside AI service.

Start with a pilot.

Portland metro, in person.

What a pilot can do.

  • First drafts. It can draft letters, emails and memos from your notes, for you to edit.
  • Long documents, summarized. It can pull out the key points of a long file, so you know where to read closely.
  • Search your own files. It can search the files you choose, so you can ask a question in plain English.
  • Made for small firms. For law, accounting, tax and property-management offices with a handful of people.

How it works.

  1. Your files

    You choose which documents go in.

  2. A machine I operate

    The AI model will run here, on hardware I own and operate.

    Outside AI servicesI won't send your files here.

  3. Answers back to you

    Drafts, summaries and search results come back to your team.

  4. You check it

    Have a professional review every answer before it's used.

Your data, in writing.

Every pilot agreement puts these commitments in writing before any file moves.

  1. Your files will be processed on a machine I own and operate.
  2. I won't send your files to ChatGPT, Claude or any other outside AI service.
  3. Your files won't be used to train any AI model.
  4. You decide which files go in. Nothing else is collected.
  5. Before any file moves, I'll tell you in writing how it gets to the machine, where it is kept, whether any backup copy exists, and who can reach it.
  6. When a pilot ends, I'll delete your files and any copies unless you ask me to keep them, and confirm in writing when it's done.

What it isn't.

  • Not legal or tax advice. It helps with drafts and reading. The professional judgment stays with you.
  • Not always right. It can miss things and get things wrong. Every answer needs a professional's check.
  • Not the biggest AI. It runs a smaller model than the big public chat apps, so it can do less. That's the trade for keeping your files away from outside AI services.
  • Not in your office. It runs on a machine I operate, not on a box in your building.
  • Not for medical practices. I'm not taking on medical, dental or therapy practices.

Start with a pilot.

A small, fixed trial before anything bigger.

  1. Step 1: We talk.

    On a call, we pick one task that eats your team's time.

  2. Step 2: I write it down.

    You get the scope, the files involved, the data details and the price in writing before anything starts.

  3. Step 3: We try it.

    I set it up, meet with you in person, and we see if it helps.

  4. Step 4: You decide.

    Keep going, change course, or stop. If you stop, I delete your files and confirm it in writing, as your agreement sets out.

FAQ

Is this ChatGPT?
No. It's an AI model I'll run myself on a machine I own and operate. I won't send your files to ChatGPT or any other outside AI service.
Do my files leave my office?
Yes, to one place: a machine I own and operate. Not to ChatGPT or any other outside AI service. Before anything moves, I'll tell you in writing how the files get there and where they're kept.
How much does it cost?
Every pilot is scoped on a call first. You get a written price before you agree to anything.
Do you have clients for this yet?
Not yet. That's why the first ones start small: one task, everything in writing, and you can stop anytime.
What if you can't continue?
Your pilot agreement will cover it. The default is the same as any pilot ending: I delete your files and confirm it in writing.
Will it replace my staff?
No. It takes a first pass at drafting, summarizing and searching. People still do the work that counts.
Does it make my firm meet the rules for my profession?
No. It doesn't change your professional obligations for client information. Ask your own counsel how those apply to any tool you use, this one included.
Where do you work?
Portland metro, in person. I'm based in West Linn.

Terrabyte's private AI is a tool for drafting, summarizing and searching documents. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting or financial advice, and its output can be wrong or incomplete. A qualified professional must review everything it produces before use. Using it does not change your firm's professional or regulatory obligations. The terms for each pilot are set in a written agreement.
