Obsidian AI: Private LLM that stays on your network

IEPs, medical records, legal discovery — you know the drill. The rules say this stuff can't leave the building. So when your team wants to draft, summarize, translate, or look something up, they hit a wall.

Most "private AI" still phones home to the cloud anyway. And the fully-local stacks that promise no outbound calls? They're research projects. Fun to read about. Not ready for the office.

Obsidian AI is different. It's a turn-key appliance — GPU, model, agent runtime, voice, and a hardened admin console — that you drop on your own network. Everything runs in-house. No outbound calls. No data leaving your building. Same toolbox surface as BFTS Chat, but the data and the brain never leave the room.

Why this matters for us: School districts, clinics, county legal — we're the ones stuck between the rules and the work, and this puts the tools where we already are.
