WHAT IS PRIVATIM
Business AI. Inside your business.
Privatim is an AI assistant installed on a Mac Studio at your premises. It helps your team search documents, compare texts and prepare drafts: data and processing stay inside your organisation, without being sent to the cloud. Prescient configures, installs and maintains the system.
FROM DOCUMENTS TO EVERYDAY WORK

SEPARATE EXTERNAL ACCESSUpdates and supportOnly when enabled by the customer
Internet availableSearch and answers stay local even when internet access is available. Updates and support require separate customer enablement.
The local network is still needed to use Privatim from other devices. During the pilot, we verify actual connections with your IT team and their tools.
Why offer an internal alternative
A contract pasted into a chat. Meeting notes uploaded to an online tool. This is how shadow AI starts: everyday uses that can slip outside your organisation’s rules.
Privatim gives your team an internal alternative. Control depends on more than a data centre’s address: it concerns who processes the data, who can access it and which connections are enabled.

GETTING STARTED
See it. Measure it.
Then decide.
01
The demonstration
20 minutes · at your officeWe bring the machine and a demonstration archive for your sector. No installation to prepare. Real questions, ending with the test without internet.
02
The pilot
Agreed validationWe evaluate your documents, answer quality and simultaneous requests before final sizing. Validation scope, duration and terms are agreed in the quotation.
03
The installation
Inside your organisationWe install the machine, index the agreed sources and train your team. We hand over the documentation and remain available for support.
INSIDE PRIVATIM
Open models.
Inside your perimeter.
Privatim uses established LLMs from the open-source and open-weight ecosystem. We select the model for your work and run it on your infrastructure: your documents and questions stay inside your organisation.
Qwen, Llama and Kimi illustrate the model families we evaluate. Model, version and licence are selected for each project, checking hardware compatibility and quality on your documents.
Local execution can use tools such as Ollama, selected to suit the model. Ollama runs models and is distinct from Meta’s Llama; cloud services are not part of Privatim’s answer path. Ollama ↗
PRIVATIM OS
Privatim OS.
Everything works together.
LLMs, interface, data ingestion and RAG: Privatim OS is the software stack we select, integrate and manage to turn your documents into a local AI assistant that is simple to use.
Privatim OSFrom documents to answers
Tap a layer to see what it does and what stays local.
Across all layers
Cross-cutting controls
Permissions, access and traceability run through every layer: whoever asks a question sees only what they could already open, and every query leaves a local trace.
- What it does
- Applies source permissions to search and answers, authenticates people with the company directory and records questions and answers in a local log.
- Components
- Link to the existing directory, permission propagation from the sources, local log of queries and answers.
- What stays local
- Identity, permissions and the log stay within the organisation. Compatibility and edge cases are verified with the IT team during the pilot.
- Layer 5 · Interface
Interface
The workspace people use: a chat where you ask questions in natural language, read the answer and open the citations to check them against the original document. It runs in the browser, inside the company network.
- What it does
- Collects the question, shows the answer with references to the sources, and lets you compare documents and prepare drafts.
- Components
- Web application served by the local machine; sign-in with company credentials; nothing to install on individual computers.
- What stays local
- Questions, answers and history stay on the machine. The query log is local and available to the organisation.
- Layer 4 · Local LLM
Local LLM
The open-weights language model that reads the question and the passages retrieved by RAG, then composes the answer. It runs on the Mac Studio GPU, loaded from local storage: no cloud model API in the answer path.
- What it does
- Understands the question, reasons over the passages provided and writes the answer, summary or draft, citing the sources it used.
- Components
- Model families such as Qwen, Llama or Kimi, chosen per project; a local runtime such as Ollama, selected to match the model.
- What stays local
- Model weights, prompts and inference stay on the machine. Model, version and licence are defined per project and verified during the pilot.
- Layer 3 · RAG
RAG
Retrieval-Augmented Generation: before generating, the system searches the local index for the passages most relevant to the question and hands them to the model together with a reference to the source document. This is what makes it possible to answer from your documents and cite where each statement comes from.
- What it does
- Turns the question into a semantic and keyword search, selects the best passages and applies permissions: it retrieves only what the person is authorised to see.
- Components
- Local embedding model, vector index and full-text search on the same machine, permission filter linked to the directory.
- What stays local
- Index, embeddings and search results stay on the machine. The index is updated when content changes.
- Layer 2 · Ingestion
Ingestion
The pipeline that reads the agreed sources, extracts the text, splits it into passages and prepares it for the index. It runs continuously: when a document changes, the index is updated.
- What it does
- Reads PDFs, Office documents, email and document management content; recognises text in scans with OCR; keeps the metadata and permissions of every file.
- Components
- Connectors to file servers, document management and mail; format readers; OCR; chunking and embedding computation.
- What stays local
- Working copies of documents and the index live on the machine’s storage, inside the company perimeter.
- Layer 1 · Documents
Documents
The starting point: the archives the organisation already has. No migration, no upload to external services. Privatim connects to the agreed sources and keeps a local, indexed copy.
- What it does
- Defines the assistant’s knowledge perimeter: which folders, which systems, with which permissions.
- Components
- File servers, document management, mailboxes and shared folders; the list is defined for each project together with the IT team.
- What stays local
- Sources stay where they are. Existing permissions are respected and verified during the pilot.
- Base · Mac Studio · macOS
Mac Studio · macOS
The whole stack runs on a single Mac Studio installed in your organisation: M5 Max with 128 GB or M5 Ultra with 256 GB, chosen according to people and workload. macOS hosts the Privatim OS services; Prescient manages configuration, updates and maintenance under the agreed service.
- What it does
- Provides unified memory and GPU for inference, storage for documents and index, and the connection to the local network the interface works on.
- Components
- Mac Studio M5 Max · 128 GB · 40-core GPU, or M5 Ultra · 256 GB · 80-core GPU; macOS; Privatim OS services managed by Prescient.
- What stays local
- Data and processing stay on the machine. Updates and remote assistance are separate connections, enabled by the customer.
Privatim OS is the name of our integrated application stack, running on macOS. Components, models and connectors are defined for each project. Prescient manages configuration, updates and maintenance under the agreed service.

WHEN YOU WANT TO LOOK CLOSER
All the details.
When you need them.
Architecture, access and languages
- Hardware
- Mac Studio M5 Max · 128 GB · 40-core GPU, or M5 Ultra · 256 GB · 80-core GPU. Customer-owned under purchase; owned by Prescient Ventures SA under the provided-hardware model.
- Model
- An open-weight language model selected for the project, loaded from local storage. Inference runs on the machine, without cloud model APIs.
- Archive and index
- A local copy of the agreed sources: file servers, document management or email. The index is updated when the content changes.
- Identity and audit
- Connection to the existing directory, source permissions and a local log of questions and answers. Compatibility and scope are checked during the pilot.
- Connections
- Everyday use is local. Updates and remote assistance use separate connections enabled by the customer. Inference continues when external access is disabled.
- Languages
- Italian, English, German, French and Dutch. Quality on your documents is measured during the pilot.
Limits and responsibilities
Answers need checking
Citations support verification but do not eliminate errors. A person remains responsible for how every output is used.
Capacity needs sizing
Local models have limits on the most complex tasks. Large cloud models may be more capable: the pilot measures quality on your actual work.
Security is a shared task
Physical security, power, backups and network segmentation need to be managed within your organisation. Local processing is not a compliance certification.
When the cloud is the simpler choice
For work that can be entrusted to external services, the cloud offers a low initial cost, no hardware to maintain and more elastic capacity. Privatim serves organisations where internal custody of data is a requirement.
System ownership and changing providers
With purchase, the customer owns the hardware: open-weight models, open software and documentation allow another qualified IT provider to take over, subject to applicable licences. With provided hardware, the data remains the customer’s and the machine remains Prescient’s: migration, data deletion and return are defined in the contract. The minimum term is 12 months.
Does data ever leave the organisation?
In everyday use, documents, the index, requests and inference stay on the local machine. Updates and remote assistance are managed separately and require customer approval. The pilot also verifies actual traffic within your network.
Does installing it make us compliant?
No. The system helps maintain internal custody and document access and use, but does not discharge your organisation’s obligations. Assessments under GDPR, the Swiss FADP, NIS2 and sector rules must still be made for your specific situation.
Who can see the documents?
People authorised according to the permissions of connected sources. Directory integration, permission propagation and edge cases are verified with your IT team before production use.
Who handles the contract and support?
Prescient Ventures SA, Melano, Switzerland, is the sole partner for the contract, invoicing and support. The customer remains the controller of their data. Any access to data during support must be governed by a data processing agreement appropriate to the service.
What if we decide to change provider?
With purchase, the customer owns the hardware: open-weight models, open software and documentation allow another qualified IT provider to take over, subject to applicable licences. With provided hardware, the data remains the customer’s and the machine remains Prescient’s: migration, data deletion and return are defined in the contract. The minimum term is 12 months.
What should I prepare for the demonstration?
Nothing to install. We visit your office with the machine and an example archive for your sector. The demonstration takes 20 minutes. Your own documents only enter the process during the agreed pilot.
References for your internal assessment
Data location is one part of the assessment. Processing purposes, access, security and risks must be considered together.
