- Every input is processed in the provider’s data center.
- The provider sets usage limits, prices and terms.
- The provider becomes a data processor for your content.
Local AI
The context that makes AI valuable is too sensitive for the cloud.
Customer information, internal decisions and confidential project documents make AI valuable in daily work. External cloud services process this content on the provider’s infrastructure. Local AI keeps the processing inside your company.
Where does your data go?
Cloud or local.
With most AI tools, every question leaves the company. Local AI answers where your knowledge already is.
- The model runs on a server in your company.
- No usage limits, only the capacity of the device.
- You decide which model is used and when it is updated.
Control is more
than a storage location.
Three things are decided together with you before the start.
01Where the model runs.The operating environment is planned for your task: suitable hardware, model selection, maintenance and responsibilities.
- PermittedNot for this person02Which knowledge it sees.
Source storage and access rights are considered separately from running the model. Permissions decide which context may be used.
- AnswerdirectlyAction in ERPafter approval03What it may trigger.
Answers and actions are different steps. Business services check rules and calculations; actions follow agreed approvals.
Local AI meets
your company context.
One operating foundation, three perspectives.

What does local AI mean at Alae?
The AI model runs on infrastructure under your control. Storage locations, knowledge sources, access rights and external connections are defined separately for each use case.
Does all data automatically stay in the company?
No. Running the model locally does not by itself define where sources are stored or which external interfaces exist. We look at these data paths separately and agree which connections are allowed and necessary for your use.
Does it work completely without internet?
That depends on model provisioning, data sources, updates and connected services. Requirements for an isolated operation have to be planned and checked separately.
Which hardware do we need?
Model size, data volume, response times and concurrent use determine the requirements. Before deciding, we review your existing environment and the concrete use case.
How do we check that it works?
We define a bounded task and success criteria. In the pilot we assess answer quality, source evidence, access rules, correction effort and operations.
