On-Premise Architectural Capabilities

Maximum performance with zero third-party API dependencies.

100% Local SQLite Storage

Store all conversation logs and search indices inside an isolated local SQLite file on your web host.

Bring Your Own Model Keys

Connect Anthropic, Google Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint using your own API key. The free BM25 retrieval engine works without one; the optional RAG layer only composes answers from content already retrieved from your site, never from the model's general knowledge.

Zero SaaS Message Subscriptions

Say goodbye to monthly tier caps and per-message charges. Pay strictly for your standard host server resources.

Built for UK Data Handling

Conversation data stays on your own server rather than a third-party host, with configurable log retention, supporting your UK GDPR obligations without extra plugins.

No AI provider key is connected out of the box. Until you deliberately connect one of your own, any point where a question would otherwise go to an AI model hands you a composed prompt to copy and paste into a model of your choosing yourself. My Chat Assistant makes no network call to any AI model on your behalf unless you've connected one.
