You legally can’t paste that into ChatGPT.
For firms, clinics, and schools, the confidential document is the whole job, and it’s the one thing that cannot be handed to a public chatbot. Offline Base brings private AI into your office, prepared for your work, with the accountability a professional buyer actually needs.
✗ confidential, can’t leave
✓ answered in-house
The client file can’t reach the public chatbot. Your in-house box answers it instead.
Law firms
Draft, summarize, and search privileged material on a box in your office. Nothing sensitive is pasted into a public chatbot.
Clinics
Summarize notes and handle intake on hardware that stays in the building, with fewer outside vendors touching what patients tell you.
Schools & districts
A clean story for parents and boards: student data stays in the building. The assistant supports the classroom without sending student work away.
The controls the free tools don’t have.
The box keeps a record you can stand behind: every question and every approval, stored locally. Local-only mode is the default, so it never reaches the outside world unless you decide it should. Team features are in design now, and pilot customers are shaping them.
A box you own. No meter running.
A pilot starts with the box you can buy today: Base Router, a one-time $400 hardware purchase with no subscription required. A professional tier — bigger hardware, a support contract, and compliance documentation for your counsel — is in design with pilot customers now. If your office needs it, talk to us and help set what it includes.
We won’t sell you a false legal premise.
HIPAA doesn’t actually mandate data residency, and we won’t pretend otherwise. The real value of on-prem is narrower and concrete: it eliminates the business-associate agreements and sub-processor risk that come with sending protected data to a third party. Talk to your own counsel, and we’ll give you clear documentation to bring to them.
Run a pilot in one office.
Start with one box, one team, and your real documents. See whether it earns its place before you commit.
