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.
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.

Your data, in writing.
Every pilot agreement puts these commitments in writing before any file moves.
- Your files will be processed on a machine I own and operate.
- I won't send your files to ChatGPT, Claude or any other outside AI service.
- Your files won't be used to train any AI model.
- You decide which files go in. Nothing else is collected.
- 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.
- 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.
Step 1: We talk.
On a call, we pick one task that eats your team's time.
Step 2: I write it down.
You get the scope, the files involved, the data details and the price in writing before anything starts.
Step 3: We try it.
I set it up, meet with you in person, and we see if it helps.
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.
