Obsidian AI: LLMs that never phone home

IEPs, medical records, legal discovery, city personnel files — these can't leave the building. But the staff still needs AI for drafting, summarization, translation, and lookup. Most "private AI" still phones home. Most fully-local stacks are a research project, not a product.

Obsidian AI is a turn-key appliance: GPU, model, agent runtime, voice, and a hardened admin console. Dropped on your org's own network. No outbound calls. Same toolbox surface as BFTS Chat, but the data and the brain never leave the room.

Why this matters for us:

School districts, clinics, and county legal offices serve our comunidades every day. Their data stays where it belongs.
