Private AI for Small Business
Run your own AI on hardware you own, so nothing leaves the building. A plain-language field guide to getting open-weight models working in a practice — no cloud, no data going out the door.
Written for owners and managers of small regulated practices — medical, dental, legal, and accounting. Not for hobbyists. If your clients' names, records, and numbers legally can't be handed to a cloud chatbot, this book is for you.
The problem this book solves
Off-the-shelf AI tools are tempting: paste a patient note, a draft contract, or a set of figures into a chat window and get a useful answer back. The catch — the data you pasted has now left your office and lives on someone else's server, under someone else's terms, possibly used to train the next model. For a small medical, dental, legal, or accounting practice, that is not a "privacy concern" to weigh. It is a bright line you cannot cross.
This book walks the other path: a model running on a machine in your own office, on hardware you already own or can buy once, with no subscription and no upload. It explains what that actually takes — what hardware runs what, how a setup is done end to end, what it costs, and how to keep it running — in plain language, with every claim backed by reproducible field notes rather than vendor marketing.
Who it's for
Small practices and firms where the data is regulated and the owner has to sign for it: a medical or dental office, a law firm, an accounting practice. If you run or manage one of these and keep wondering whether "AI" has to mean shipping client data to a stranger's server, this book gives you the honest, tested answer. If you're building a hobby rig for fun, the rest of this site's field notes will suit you better than this book.
