Obsidian AI: the model that stays in the building

IEPs, medical charts, discovery files — la gente needs AI to draft and summarize, but the law says none of it leaves the building. The usual suspects phone home. The fully-local stacks are research projects, not something a district IT team can run.

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

It ships for school districts, clinics, county legal, and anyone under HIPAA, FERPA, or CJIS constraints. Plug it in. Train on local data. Let staff use it for drafting, translation, lookup — whatever the work demands.

Why this matters for us: the tools that serve our communities don't have to send our families' records to someone else's server.
