Why local AI?
AI with no compromise on privacy.
With cloud AI services, your documents are sent to external servers — often in the US. You lose control over who sees your data and how it's used.
Local AI flips that model on its head: modern open-source language models like Llama, Mistral and Qwen run in local German data centers — beyond the reach of big tech. Your data stays where it belongs.
Advantages
The advantages of local AI.
No trade-off between performance and privacy.
- Full data sovereignty
- Your documents are processed exclusively in German data centers. Full GDPR compliance, guaranteed.
- No third parties
- No OpenAI, no Google, no Microsoft. No external API calls, no hidden data flows, no dependencies.
- Predictable costs
- No token-based fees that explode with volume. Fixed, plannable infrastructure costs.
- Enterprise performance
- Modern open-source models match the quality of proprietary services — and for specialized tasks are often even better.
Cost model
Capacity instead of tokens.
With cloud AI providers you pay per token — the more you use, the more it costs. Spend becomes unpredictable and scales out of control with document volume.
With us, you buy capacity: dedicated compute reserved exclusively for your company. Process as many documents as you like — with no extra cost per request.
Cloud AI · token model
- Cost per token / per request
- Costs rise linearly with usage
- Hard to budget at large volumes
- Locked in to the provider
Aktenschutz · capacity model
- Fixed capacity that's yours
- Unlimited use within your capacity
- Predictable, fixed costs
- No surprises on the invoice
Pragmatic, not dogmatic
Local where needed. Cloud where it makes sense.
Not every task calls for local AI. For non-critical work — like summarizing already-anonymized text — a cloud API can be the more efficient choice.
We'll give you an honest recommendation on which approach fits your specific use case. Our redaction solution can even prepare documents specifically for safe use with external AI services.
Deployment options
Three routes to secure operation.
From maximum control to flexible scaling — you decide.
Dedicated servers
German data center
Maximum isolation. The AI runs on dedicated servers in German data centers — with no shared infrastructure.
- Data stays in Germany
- Complete isolation
- No third-party access
German cloud
Hetzner / Stackit
The best balance. Our AI runs in German data centers (German company, German law).
- Data stays in DE
- No US Cloud Act
- Quick to launch
Hyperscaler DE
AWS / Azure Frankfurt
Maximum scale. The AI infrastructure runs in the German region of the major cloud providers.
- Highest scalability
- Servers in Germany
- Mind the US Cloud Act
Integrations
Supported systems.
File server or cloud DMS — it doesn't matter: our AI acts as intelligent middleware between your data stores and your applications.
