Offline BaseOffline Base is a small company with a simple position: AI has become part of daily life, so it should live on hardware you own, under rules you set.
Open models quietly crossed a line: they became good enough and small enough to run on the laptop you already own. But the way most people meet AI hasn’t changed: a subscription, a meter, an account on someone else’s computer, and your questions living in someone else’s logs.
We started Offline Base to close that gap. Not with another cloud, but with products that put the models themselves in your hands: a drive that sets up your laptop, a box that serves your home, and a memory layer coming next that stays yours no matter which assistant you talk to.
We teach this in person too. The video at the bottom of this page is one of our live workshops, showing a room full of people how to run models on their own machines.
Your data stays under your control. Nothing leaves the box without your explicit approval, and you can turn outside access off entirely.
Runs on the box, works offline, and does not require another account or a usage meter.
Not a generic chatbot. Prepared around your documents, routines, and use case.
It just works. Plug it in, open it from your devices, and start using it. No technical setup.
Base Drive comes first. Everything after it is the same private AI, given more room.
A USB drive that sets up private, offline AI on the laptop you already own in minutes for $59.
Learn moreThe same private AI moved onto dedicated, always-on hardware for your whole home.
Learn moreA connector that brings your local memory to ChatGPT and Claude. Your Base decides what they see.
Learn moreWe’d rather under-promise. A small local model is not the largest cloud system, and we say so on every product page before you buy, not after.
Nothing happens silently. No telemetry, no quiet updates, no hidden cloud calls. When a task ever needs outside help, you approve it first and a record is kept.
This is the mission in a room: a hands-on workshop at CUNY, walking people through running language models on their own machines. It is the same thing Base Drive does for you in one click.
Plays from YouTube. That’s the one part of this page that isn’t local.
