Private AI for Business

Extreme privacy / air-gapped AI

Air-gapped AI is a supply-chain decision, not just an offline mode.

An air-gapped deployment runs without internet access, which changes how models are obtained, how data is refreshed, how updates arrive, and how support works. We scope those details before promising an offline system.

What air-gapped changes

The hard part is not the model. It is the whole life cycle.

A system with no internet path still needs model files, retrieval, backups, updates, monitoring, and a way for support to operate safely.

01 / SUPPLY

Plan the model source

Model files and dependencies are staged and verified before the network boundary closes.

02 / DATA

Refresh inside the wall

Documents, indexes, and backups are maintained through controlled, approved routes.

03 / SUPPORT

Design the support route

Diagnostics, updates, and incident handling work without exposing the environment.

The air-gap boundary

No internet is a control, not a compliance certificate.

SCOPE

Each network is different

The boundary, approved transfers, and exception routes are documented for the client's environment.

MODEL

Model quality still matters

The selected model is tested on the client's corpus before deployment.

OPS

Operations stay owned

Updates, backups, and incidents have named owners and procedures.

A first air-gapped project

Start with the boundary and the workflow.

Define the boundary

Confirm what may cross the network, how, and under whose approval.

Scope the workflow

Pick the document set, users, outputs, and latency needs.

Stage the supply

Prepare models, dependencies, indexes, and support tooling inside the environment.

Test and operate

Run real questions, document exceptions, and hand over the runbook.

An air gap only helps if everything needed to run the system is already on the right side of it.

Why trust Pristine3D?

We build and operate production software.

Pristine3D Ltd builds and operates live digital products, and we run private AI workflows internally as part of our own operations. We scope around your real workflow: the documents you own, the questions your team asks, and the access boundary you approve. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, we work remotely with clients worldwide.

METHOD

We start with the actual workflow

One input, one output, one test set, and one person who owns the result. We scope a real workflow instead of a transformation programme.

OWNERSHIP

The boundary stays visible

Cloud, model, storage, and messaging accounts stay in your name. The chosen data path, access rules, test record, documentation, and training are part of the agreed scope.

Pricing / fixed scope

Know the starting numbers before you ask.

The final quote follows the workflow. Infrastructure and model bills stay on your accounts.

Annual support

Starting from
$3,000 / ₦1.5m
per year

Standard care for one delivered workflow. Optional. Larger deployments and active monitoring are separately scoped.

See support

Architecture review from $500. Standard annual support is $3,000 / ₦1.5m per year for one delivered workflow. New workflows, integrations, active monitoring, and infrastructure are separately scoped; infrastructure, model, storage, and messaging bills stay on client accounts. Full pricing and what changes the quote

Straight answers

Common questions.

Can all AI run without internet?

Retrieval and local inference can. Some features, updates, or integrations need a controlled transfer route.

Who updates the model later?

The runbook names how updates are staged, verified, and applied inside the boundary.

How does support work?

Support is designed around the client's network rules, often through controlled diagnostics and on-site work.

Own your knowledge base

The model is not the product. The knowledge base is.

Documents, the retrieval index, access rules, and the workflows built around them are the asset, and they compound. We deploy so the knowledge base stays yours: on your accounts, in the environment you choose, under access rules your team defines. The model behind the answers is a connector, so the knowledge base moves with you, not with a vendor.

THE ASSET

Your corpus, your index

The document store, metadata, and retrieval setup live on accounts you own. No vendor holds the corpus.

THE LOCK-IN

Models are swappable parts

Change the model provider, move regions, or go local without rebuilding the knowledge base or the workflow.

THE ALPHA

The knowledge base is the alpha

Every improvement to the corpus improves the answers, and the improvement stays with you, not with a vendor.
