Private AI FAQ: Cost, Privacy & Timeline
Last Updated: January 8, 2026
Everything you need to know about private AI and how it can transform your business.
Quick Answers
- • Cost: ~$15,500 hardware (you own it) + implementation based on scope
- • Timeline: 4-8 weeks to full deployment
- • Privacy: 100% local, zero cloud, your data never leaves your hardware
- • Who it's for: Business owners, attorneys, CPAs, family offices, UHNW individuals
1 What exactly do you build?
AI that knows your entire business - employees, clients, deals, contracts, tax implications. Runs on hardware you own. Works 24/7.
You become the owner who never forgets anything.
2 How is this different from ChatGPT?
People tell ChatGPT everything. But can you trust it?
The problem with ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini:
- •Corporation owns it - their goal is profit
- •Your data trains their models
- •They decide what it can/can't say
- •They push updates and shape behavior without asking
- •They own you, not the other way around
Your AI:
- •You own everything - hardware, software, data
- •No mining, no ads, no agendas, no propaganda
- •Behaves exactly how you want
- •Knows your employees, clients, deals, contracts, taxes
- •Knows your wife's birthday and what gift will impress her
You own your AI instead of it owning you.
3 Why would I need this?
Because you're the bottleneck.
The problem:
- •Opportunities slip because you forgot a detail
- •Employees wait on decisions only you can make
- •Clients get slower responses than they deserve
- •You're carrying everything in your head
The fix:
- •"Who on my team has done this before?" - it knows
- •"What did we promise the Johnson account?" - every meeting, every call
- •"How does this new tax law affect my entities?" - analyzed for YOUR situation
- •"Should I take this deal?" - evaluated against your criteria
You stop being the bottleneck. You start being everywhere at once.
4 Is my data actually private?
Yes. You own the hardware. Data never touches OpenAI, Google, or anyone else.
You're feeding it everything - clients, employees, financials, strategy. That's your competitive advantage. It stays yours.
5 How much does it cost?
Two parts: the hardware you own, and my time to build your system.
Hardware:
- •~$15,500 for production-ready infrastructure
- •You own it outright - no subscriptions, no Big Tech middlemen
Implementation:
- •Depends on scope and complexity
- •Every business is different - I quote after understanding your needs
Email me what you're trying to solve. I'll give you a real number.
6 Do I need to be technical?
No. Talk to it like your best employee. We handle the rest.
7 How long until I'm running?
4-8 weeks. Basic capabilities within weeks.
The sooner you start, the smarter it gets. Every day you wait is knowledge you're not capturing.
8 Why should I work with you?
- •20+ years in tech, 10 years in AI (before it was trendy)
- •Cybersecurity background - privacy is how I think
- •Full stack developer - I build, not just advise
- •Worked with Lamborghini, UCLA, Sony Pictures
- •Senior Business Advisor, U.S. Department of Commerce MBDA
Two decades of experience. You get the shortcut.
