\r\n \r\n Simply explained<\/span>\r\n

An AI helper that belongs only to you<\/span><\/h1>\r\n
Bruno<\/strong><\/path><\/svg> your AI helper<\/span><\/div>\r\n

We call him Bruno here. Most AI services reside in the large, public cloud, on foreign servers, available to everyone. It can be different: Your helper works in your own, protected area, on your device or on a private server in Switzerland. Only you have the key. We explain it step by step, completely without technical jargon.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n <\/path><\/svg> Your data remains private<\/span>\r\n <\/rect><\/path><\/circle><\/svg> Accessible only to you<\/span>\r\n <\/rect><\/path><\/svg> Server in Switzerland<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n What does that even mean?<\/span>\r\n

Like an employee who works only for you<\/h2>\r\n

Imagine a very well-read employee. He sits in your office, has read incredibly much and answers your questions immediately. The special thing: he works only for you and never chats with a foreign company.<\/p>\r\n

Exactly that is such an AI helper, sometimes also called Agent.<\/strong> A digital employee who you ask and who thinks for you, without your words ending up at a large corporation.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Where does the helper live, and who can enter?<\/span>\r\n

Not in the big cloud, but in your protected space<\/h2>\r\n

The big, public Cloud<\/strong> is like a huge building owned by a distant corporation. Many people and companies are inside it at the same time, and the owner can theoretically read along. Your private assistant lives elsewhere: in your own, enclosed space that only you enter.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Honestly<\/span>\r\n

Do I still need the internet then?<\/h3>\r\n

Yes, usually yes, and that's perfectly fine. You reach your assistant via a completely normal internet connection, just like you use your online banking. The internet is merely the Way<\/strong> there, where the road leads to the bank.<\/p>\r\n

What matters is where you arrive: not in the large, public cloud, but in your own, locked area. That's exactly why we call it Offline AI<\/strong>, your data remains offline from the big cloud, even if you reach your assistant online.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n How does the helper think?<\/span>\r\n

In four simple steps<\/h2>\r\n

From your question to the answer, in a few moments, and all within your protected area.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
1<\/div>

You ask<\/h3>

You type or speak your question, quite normally in your own words.<\/p><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/div>\r\n

2<\/div>

He understands<\/h3>

The helper reads your question and understands what it's about.<\/p><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/div>\r\n

3<\/div>

He thinks<\/h3>

He uses the knowledge he has gained while learning and forms an answer.<\/p><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/div>\r\n

4<\/div>

You receive the answer<\/h3>

The answer appears for you, and everything has remained in your protected area.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n Try it out<\/span>\r\n

Same way, completely different place<\/h2>\r\n

Choose a question and press Play. With the switch, you see the difference: the same way over the internet, but a completely different place where your question arrives.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
