Client data on third-party servers
More than a quarter of legal professionals admit to having entered real client data into ChatGPT. Under the GDPR, that is processing with no legal basis and no data processing agreement.

Your team already uses AI. The question is where your data ends up
In most Barcelona companies, AI has come in through the back door, with personal ChatGPT accounts and client documents copied and pasted into them.
Subscriptions that keep on growing
Per-user licences, per-token usage and terms that change every quarter. With local AI the hardware is yours and using it does not depend on any subscription.
Total dependence on the internet and on others
If the connection drops, the provider changes its policy or your account is closed, your team is left without a tool. Local AI keeps working even without internet access.

The models run on your hardware. No document, conversation or recording leaves your network, so professional confidentiality and the GDPR are protected by design.
-
We test it first in our lab
Two clustered NVIDIA DGX Spark units and an RTX GPU server in Barcelona, in production every day. We know which model performs, how much power it draws and where each part breaks.
-
AI that really speaks Catalan
We work in Catalan, Spanish and English, with models and vocabulary tuned so the AI answers in natural Catalan, something few solutions offer.
-
Honest sizing

Frequently asked questions about local AI
What happens to the data I type into ChatGPT?
It travels to OpenAI’s servers in the United States. What you write — and the files you attach — may be used to improve their models and is subject to their policies and American law. With Microsoft Copilot the same is partly true: depending on the account and settings, some of the data goes to the cloud. Some features, such as certain Copilot functions on Windows, process part of the work on your own machine, but the conversation and your files still leave home. If you want nothing to leave your computer, local AI is the only option that truly delivers it.
What is local AI?
It is artificial intelligence that runs on a computer in your company, not on the servers of OpenAI, Google or Microsoft. It uses open models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, Llama or Mistral, and your data never leaves your network.
Is it as good as ChatGPT?
For a company's day-to-day work, yes. The best open models of 2026 draft, summarise, analyse documents and write code at the level of the commercial models of just a few months ago, and some accept up to a million tokens of context.
What can I do with local AI?
A private ChatGPT-style chat for your team, a search tool that answers from your documents with citations, meeting transcription, agents that automate tasks and models tuned to your line of work. See the uses page for more than a hundred examples.
Do I need internet access to use it?
No. Once installed, local AI works offline. You only need internet access if you want it to search the web or to receive updates.
Where are you based?
In Barcelona. We work on site in Barcelona and its metropolitan area, and remotely for the rest of Catalonia, Spain and the European Union.
Shall we talk about your private AI?
