Private AI for Business

Self-hosted AI / Italy

Self-hosted AI for Italian companies, built for Garante review.

Private AI deployed for Italian businesses under the GDPR and the Italian Data Protection Code, with hosting in Milan and a disclosed data path. The Garante has enforced against processing without a lawful basis, including AI-related processing, so the deployment documents purpose and access from the start.

Why it matters here

The Garante has made the lawful-basis question real.

Enforcement against AI-related processing means the documented purpose is not a formality in Italy.

01 / GARANTE

Active enforcement

The Garante has enforced against processing without a clear lawful basis, including AI-related cases. The deployment documents purpose and access for that review.

02 / DATA CODE

National rules on top

The Italian Data Protection Code adds national detail to the GDPR. The handover is written in those terms.

03 / MILAN

Data in Italy

eu-south-1 (Milan) is the default region, with on-prem for stricter requirements.

The three levels

The architecture follows the constraint.

There is no single correct answer. Quality, privacy, residency, and budget decide the path.

Your cloud

Your cloud, in Milan

App and document store in your account in eu-south-1 (Milan), with the model on your key. No GPU required.

Regional

For location requirements

An approved cloud region or managed service when residency and procurement matter.

Fully local

For strict control

Model, embeddings, and retrieval on your hardware when external inference is not acceptable.

What it really takes

Measured workloads, not GPU shopping lists.

Hardware is sized after the workload is real. These are starting points, not quotes.

API-BACKED PILOT

4 to 8 vCPU, 16 to 32 GB RAM

No GPU required for the app and document store. Model usage bills stay on the client account.

LOCAL MODEL

From 24 GB VRAM

A starting point for a small quantized text model. Model size, concurrency, and latency decide the real requirement.

THE OPERATING REALITY

Power, cooling, updates, backups

A GPU is one part of the environment. A partner data centre can be more realistic than an office server room.

HARDWARE IS AN ADD-ON

Not the first promise

We size hardware after the workload is proven. No GPU inventory before a signed scope and deposit.

Straight answers

Common questions.

Where would the data be hosted?

The default is eu-south-1 (Milan), documented in the architecture before anything is built.

Does the Garante approve systems?

No. The Garante supervises processing. The deployment provides the documented data path that supervision would inspect.

How does the lawful basis fit?

The lawful basis belongs to the client's processing. The system supports it by documenting purpose, access, and processors accurately.

Do invoices come in euros?

Yes, from EUR 3,400 for a first workflow, with USD and naira floors unchanged.

In Italy, the lawful basis is the first review question. The deployment answers it in writing.

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

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.

Start with the constraint

What is your constraint?

Residency, Garante review, procurement, or a no-external-inference rule. Describe it in English or Italian and we will map the architecture.
