Plug in. Ask. Nothing leaves.

Private AI that lives
in your office.

PrivateOS is a box with the AI already inside. Plug in power and network, open privateos.local in any browser, and ask about your own documents in plain language. The AI, your files and every answer stay on the box — no cloud AI, no outside provider, nothing sent to us.

Try it for a month: not right for you? Send it back

Your knowledge. Your hardware. Your control.

How it works

Three steps to your own AI.

No installation, no cloud account, no IT project. Unbox, plug in, ask.

  1. 01

    We ship it ready

    Hardware, software and the AI models — installed and tested at our bench before it leaves. Nothing to assemble, nothing to download, no account to create.

  2. 02

    Plug in two cables

    Power and network. Open privateos.local on any computer in your office, sign in, and invite your team.

  3. 03

    Ask away

    Upload documents or connect Google Drive, SharePoint and shared folders. Every answer points back to the exact source.

Pricing

One box. One plan. Then it’s yours.

The large box, the software, updates and support — one flat monthly fee for your whole office. After three years, the machine is fully yours.

Same 25 people. Same three years. Very different ending.

Cloud AI, per seatPrivateOS
Every month €500–625 €499
Three-year total €18,000–22,500 €18,954
Year four onward €6,000–7,500 a year, still billing €0 the box is yours
Your documents Leave the building Never leave your office

After three years, cloud AI leaves you with a bill. PrivateOS leaves you with a machine.

Cloud: 25 seats at €20–25 per person per month (ChatGPT Business, Microsoft 365 Copilot list prices). PrivateOS total includes the one-time setup; updates after year three are optional.

After month 36, you choose

AI models improve every few months, hardware every few years. When your term ends, keep what you have, or stay on the newest.

No fee

Keep it

The box is yours and keeps working offline, exactly as it is. Nothing more to pay.

Optional monthly plan

Keep it current

Keep your box and add Care: new AI models tested on your machine, software updates, remote support and replacement if anything breaks.

We get in touch around month 30, so you can decide in good time.

Prices exclude VAT. 36-month term; until it ends, the box remains our property. Return it within the first month (you pay that month and the setup) or any time after the first year. Setup covers delivery, network setup, your first document import and a one-hour admin training. Encrypted config backup and a quarterly health check are included.

Delivered and supported in: Benelux · DACH · the Nordics · UK & Ireland · France

Privacy, by design

Your data never leaves your premises.

No account on someone else's server, no copy of your files in a data centre, no AI provider reading along. The models run on the box itself, your documents are indexed on its own disk, and the system opens no outside connection on its own.

What leaves the box?

Your documents
Never
Your questions and answers
Never
Usage data and telemetry
Never. The box reports nothing home.
Web search
Only the search words, and only when you turn it on for a question.
Updates
Download only. Nothing of yours goes out.

Need it fully sealed? Air-gap mode blocks every outbound connection; models and updates arrive on a USB stick.

What it does

Everything you'd ask someone who's read every file.

A private AI delivered to your office and connected to your sources. Ask in plain language, and get answers you can check.

Built for everyday work

  • Reads scans and photos

    Scanned PDFs, photos and screenshots are read on the box itself. Paste a screenshot straight into the chat and ask about it.

  • A map of your knowledge

    See how the topics in your documents connect, and jump from a subject to the files behind it.

  • You choose the sources

    Ask each question against one collection, all of them, or none, so you know exactly what an answer is based on.

  • Keep the good answers

    Save a useful answer to a collection as a document, ready for you or your whole team next time.

  • Web search, only when you ask

    Off by default. Turn it on for a single question when you need something current; your documents never go with it.

  • Pick the right model

    Choose the AI model per message. Each one is rated Fast, OK or Slow for your box, and team ratings show which answers people liked.

  • Chat tools you expect

    Copy, retry or edit a question, then pin, rename, search and export chats. Light and dark mode included.

  • Prompts and preferences

    Company starter prompts, your own saved prompts, and personal instructions for the tone and format you like.

  • Formulas, tables and code

    Math, tables, nested lists and highlighted code come out clean, ready to copy into your report.

Questions

Good things to ask first.

Is my data really private?

Yes. The AI models run on the box itself, and your documents are stored and indexed there. Nothing is sent to an AI provider, a cloud, or to us, and the box reports nothing home. Unplug the internet and it keeps answering.

How does it arrive?

Ready to go: hardware, software and AI models are installed and tested before it ships. Plug in power and network, open privateos.local in your browser, and sign in. No software to install, no IT project.

Do I need the internet?

No. The AI runs on the box, so it keeps answering with the internet unplugged. The internet is only used for what you switch on: syncing sources like Google Drive, web search for a single question, and updates.

What can it actually do?

It reads your connected documents and answers questions about them in everyday language. Each answer points back to the exact page and section it came from, so you can check the source in a click.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. The first person to set it up becomes the administrator and invites the rest of the team. Everyone in your workspace can ask questions about its collections; only the person who created a collection, or an administrator, can change it. PrivateOS is built for a team that shares its documents, not for keeping files hidden between colleagues.

What languages does it understand?

English, German, Dutch, and French. Ask in any of them and it answers in the same language — even reading documents written in a different one.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. The box arrives ready to go — you just plug it in and connect your sources. From there it's a simple question-and-answer screen: no code, no jargon.

What does the subscription include?

The large box (128 GB, up to 25 users), setup, software and AI model updates, remote support, and next-business-day replacement if anything breaks — one flat monthly fee for your office, not per seat. The term is 36 months; after that the box is fully yours, and you can keep it as is, add Care for updates, or upgrade to the newest box.

Do you deliver to my country?

We deliver, install, and support PrivateOS across Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland), the UK, Ireland, and France. All prices are in euros (€).

What happens after the three years?

You keep the machine: after 36 months of subscription it becomes your property and keeps working offline. Then you choose: keep it as it is at no cost, add Care (a monthly plan with new AI models, software updates, support and replacement), or upgrade to the newest box on a new 36-month term. We carry your documents across, take the old box back and charge no new setup fee.

Can we end the subscription earlier?

Yes. Try it for a month: if it's not right, return it within the first month and you pay only that month and the one-time setup. After that, you can return the box and stop any time after the first year. Before the 36 months are up it remains our property and goes back to us; from month 37 it is fully yours.
