Obsidian AI — on-prem LLMs that don't phone home

IEPs, medical records, legal discovery, personnel files — la migra won't let these leave the building. But the staff still needs AI to draft, summarize, translate, and look things up. Most so-called private AI still phones home. Most fully-local stacks are a research project, not a product.

Obsidian AI is the appliance that fixes this. It drops on your network with GPU, model, agent runtime, voice, and a hardened admin console. No outbound calls. Same toolbox surface as BFTS Chat, but the data and the brain never leave the room.

Built for school districts, clinics, county legal, and anyone bound by HIPAA, FERPA, or CJIS. You run it once. It stays.

Why this matters for us: our communities' records stay where they belong — no vendor, no cloud, no backdoor.
