Private AI, installed for real life

A local AI assistant for your family, home, and work.

Talos is an early-access private AI appliance we configure on your own hardware. It helps track reminders, routines, private knowledge, conversations, and approved actions without defaulting your daily life to a cloud AI account.

Selective trial installs · Hardware quoted before purchase · No credit card to apply

A compact private AI appliance installed beside a laptop, router, and speaker in a home office.

This website and your Talos appliance are separate.

This trial site is a standard public web page. Your Talos appliance — the Mac mini or other local machine we set up for you — is a private system designed to run local model inference and local memory by default. Web research, messaging, smart-home control, and business connectors are enabled only when you choose and configure them.

Local inference by default
No telemetry from your appliance
Owner-approved connectors
Inspectable local memory
Receipts for important actions

Early access means installed, measured, and honest.

Talos is not a mass-market download yet. Trial customers get a guided fit call, a quoted hardware plan, a configured local install, and a practical handoff focused on the workflows that matter most in their home or work.

We qualify the use case

We start with the people, routines, devices, documents, and work context you actually want Talos to track. If local AI is the wrong fit, we say so before anyone buys hardware.

We source and configure

Hardware is quoted before purchase, then configured with local models, memory, voice, approved integrations, and a clear boundary for what stays private.

You prove it in daily use

The trial is about reliability: reminders that do not silently disappear, memories you can inspect, answers with limits, and actions that ask before crossing a real-world line.

One private brain, two practical starting points.

The first trial installs should focus on a narrow, useful loop. Family installs start with household memory and routines. Work installs start with private context, follow-up, and local knowledge.

Family / home

For the things a household keeps dropping.

  • Family preferences, routines, reminders, and recurring tasks.
  • Voice access from shared spaces, with explicit approval for actions.
  • Home Assistant, speakers, media, and local device readiness where supported.
  • Inspectable memory so the owner can correct, delete, or confirm what Talos knows.
Work / business

For private context you do not want in a cloud chatbot.

  • Local documents, project notes, client context, and operational knowledge.
  • Follow-up tracking, summaries, drafts, and repeatable workflows.
  • Private code review/build assistance for approved local files.
  • Clear limits: no compliance promises, no unsupervised sends, no hidden vendor AI.

A capable assistant, not a cloud wrapper.

Talos uses open-weight local models and owner-approved integrations. Trial installs are meant to prove the loops that matter in real use, not promise a flawless oracle. Individual capabilities depend on the hardware tier, connected devices, and setup scope.

Local-first and private

Conversations, memory, and local knowledge live on your hardware by default. Cloud services enter only through explicit owner-approved connectors or exports.

Voice-first interaction

Talk to Talos from anywhere on your home network using a wake phrase. Local speech recognition and local speech output are the goal for private daily use, with device support verified during setup.

Persistent memory and reminders

Talos tracks people, preferences, routines, open loops, and reminders across sessions. Important reminders should be durable, reviewable, and visible instead of disappearing into a chat transcript.

Home and device control

Talos integrates with Home Assistant to control lights, climate, scenes, media, and other supported smart-home devices. Consequential actions stay approval-first unless explicitly configured otherwise.

Research and knowledge

Ask Talos to summarize local documents, build private knowledge, or research owner-approved sources. Answers can cite local evidence, but AI can still be wrong and should be corrected when it is.

Software builder

Talos can inspect codebases, edit approved files, run bounded checks, and leave receipts of what it changed and why. This is useful for private code and internal tools where sending context to a hosted assistant is not acceptable.

Important trial reality

Talos is useful because it keeps state, not because local models are magic. The trial program is where we prove the hard parts: not forgetting important reminders, surfacing stale or uncertain memory, and asking before taking actions that affect your home, messages, calendar, files, or business.

Trial pricing starts with hardware and setup.

Talos is sold as an installed private system first, not a self-serve SaaS account. Trial customers receive a quote for hardware, installation, and optional support before buying anything.

Hardware
Quoted before purchase
A Mac mini or equivalent local machine is matched to your use case. The deposit covers the devices you approve before we buy them.
  • Hardware tier matched to family, work, or both
  • Local models and storage sized for your use
  • You own the hardware outright
Optional support
Optional after install
Priority updates, troubleshooting, and remote assistance for owners who want ongoing peace of mind. Not required for daily use.
  • Priority model and software updates
  • Remote troubleshooting
  • Feature previews and early access

Exact pricing is confirmed at quote time. No hidden remote-control services, required hosted-model subscription, or appliance telemetry fees. Apply for the trial program to start the fit conversation.

A few specifics help us decide whether the trial is a real fit.

We use your submission only to contact you about Talos trial access. If a third-party form endpoint is configured, this website submission is sent to that provider; the installed Talos appliance remains separate and sends no telemetry by default.
