How Much Does Private AI Cost?

With R6S, private AI is one clear number: $20,000 to build it, then $20,000/month to run it. The build fee stands up your private AI department on dedicated infrastructure. The monthly fee is R6S operating that department for you, so you never manage hardware, models, or a team. The real scope depends on how much of your business the AI needs to know and how much work you want it to do.

Quick Cost Breakdown

Build fee: one-time $20,000 to design, build, and deploy your private AI department
Monthly fee: $20,000/month for R6S to operate, maintain, and evolve it
Timeline: usually 4-8 weeks to full deployment, depending on data, access, and scope
Terms: month-to-month, no long-term contract
Best fit: owners with sensitive data, repeatable operational pain, and enough margin to justify leverage

What the Build Fee Covers

The hard part is not plugging in a machine. It is turning your messy business reality into a private AI system that actually helps you make decisions and get work done. The one-time build fee pays for that.

Dedicated infrastructure, sized and provisioned for your work
Mapping how your business actually operates
Building your first knowledge base and agent workflows
Connecting documents, contacts, meetings, and operational context
Training the system around your language, priorities, and decision criteria

What the Monthly Covers

Private AI is not a ChatGPT subscription with a new label. The monthly fee is R6S running your AI department, not renting you access to someone else's tool.

Ash operating your system as an embedded CTO
Dedicated infrastructure kept patched, monitored, and backed up
A team of AI employees handling real work, every day
New agents and workflows built as your needs change
No shared tenant, no third-party cloud workspace, no data sent to Big Tech

When Private AI Is Worth the Money

Private AI makes sense when your business has valuable context trapped in calls, emails, PDFs, contracts, CRM notes, spreadsheets, and the owner's head. If losing that context costs you deals, delays decisions, or exposes sensitive data, a private system that remembers everything pays for itself.

It usually does not make sense if you only need generic writing help, simple research, or occasional summaries. Use a normal AI tool for that. R6S is for operators who need a private business brain and a team running it, not another browser tab.

What You're Actually Paying For

Privacy by Isolation

Hardware dedicated to your business alone
No other client lives on your infrastructure
Your data is never pooled or used to train anyone's models
Nothing is sent to OpenAI, Google, or any cloud AI

Execution, Not Infrastructure

You do not buy, manage, or maintain hardware
You do not hire or manage an AI team
Daily briefings, CRM work, outreach, reporting, and follow-up handled
One operator, Ash, accountable for the whole system

Why This Costs More Than SaaS

SaaS is cheaper because you are renting access to someone else's system, shared with everyone else. Private AI costs more because R6S builds and runs a department around your specific business. The financial question is not "Can I find AI for $20/month?" The question is "What is it worth if my business can remember, retrieve, and act on its own knowledge, with a team running it around the clock?"

That is where R6S is different. Ash does not sell generic software. He builds private AI infrastructure, then operates it as direct leverage for the owner.

Cost Questions Business Owners Ask

Is the price really fixed?

The starting point is $20,000 to build and $20,000/month to operate. Unusually large scope, heavy compliance requirements, or many users can move it, but R6S tells you that up front, not later.

Who owns the hardware?

R6S owns and maintains the hardware your AI runs on. You own your data. The infrastructure is dedicated to you and shared with no other client, which is what keeps it private without making you responsible for managing equipment.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. The monthly engagement is month-to-month. The build fee is one time, paid as the department is built and deployed.

What is the first step?

A discovery call. R6S maps what you want the AI to know, what it needs to do, and how the build and monthly engagement would be scoped for your business.
