Private AI for business
Private AI means your company uses modern AI — chat, a knowledge base, document processing, an API — without the data ever leaving your control. It doesn't run in a US provider's cloud; it runs on European hardware, under your rules. This page covers when it pays off, how it's sold, and what to ask every vendor.
When does it pay off?
Honestly: if your team asks an AI something a few times a week, a public subscription is cheaper. Private AI pays off when at least one of these is true:
- ✓You hold data you'd never paste into a public chatbot — client records, contracts, patient or financial data.
- ✓One workflow is quietly consuming a full-time person — document-heavy, repetitive, valuable.
- ✓You want the outcome, not a platform you have to operate yourself.
- ✓You're a 20–200-person company with a real budget — and you make the call.
- ✓Your data has to stay in the EU (or in the building).

The three ways private AI is sold
1. Buy the box
A one-time €5–8k for an AI workstation — then patching, backups and GPU failures are yours. No monthly fee, but someone still operates it in year two.
2. Have it installed
A setup fee plus a monthly fee for remote maintenance — on your hardware, with no hosting and no redundancy behind it. Ask what stands behind the SLA.
3. Buy it operated
The private AI plus the hosting, backups, monitoring and the team underneath — for a flat monthly fee with a written SLA. This is ATAILA.
