Deployment

Three ways to run your AI.

Same AI assistant, three deployment options. Pick what suits your business — we configure either way.

Most Popular
Option 1
Mac mini

Dedicated little Mac sitting in your office. Stable, fast, runs forever.

Hardware
  • ✓ Mac mini M4 base ($1,200–$2,000)
  • ✓ Customer buys directly from Apple (one-off)
  • ✓ We recommend 16GB RAM / 256GB — sweet spot
Capability
  • ✓ Full Claude Max performance (local subscription)
  • ✓ Native OneDrive / iCloud / Google Drive sync
  • ✓ 3–5+ parallel agents simultaneously
  • ✓ Native macOS notifications + Telegram bridge
  • ✓ 24/7 operation (Mac never sleeps)
Watch outs
  • – You keep the Mac powered & on internet
$0 on top of base pricing
Setup & monthly per your tier. Hardware is yours to keep.
Choose Mac
Option 2
Your Windows PC

Use what you've got. We install and configure on your existing Windows machine.

Hardware
  • ✓ Your existing Windows 10 / 11 PC
  • ✓ No new hardware purchase needed
  • ✓ 8GB+ RAM recommended
Capability
  • ✓ Full Claude Max performance (local subscription)
  • ✓ OneDrive / Dropbox local sync
  • ✓ Telegram bridge + Windows notifications
  • ✓ Same agent capability as Mac
  • ✓ Auto-restart on logon (Task Scheduler)
Watch outs
  • – Occasional manual restart (Windows quirks)
  • – Windows updates can interrupt — we schedule them off-hours
$0 on top of base pricing
Setup & monthly per your tier. Use the PC you already own.
Choose Windows
Option 3
Cloud-hosted

We run it. You don't see the server. Just text your AI from anywhere.

Hardware
  • ✓ None for you — just internet + a phone
  • ✓ Hosted on AWS / DigitalOcean / Hetzner (we pick)
  • ✓ No PC, no Mac, no maintenance
Capability
  • ✓ 24/7 always-on, geographic redundancy
  • ✓ We handle updates, monitoring, backups
  • ✓ Telegram bridge cloud-hosted (always on)
  • ✓ File access via cloud storage APIs
Watch outs
  • – File access via API is slightly slower than local sync
  • – You grant cloud storage access (OneDrive/GDrive)
+ $500 setup  ·  + $100/mo
Covers cloud provisioning, security hardening, monitoring, backups.

Quick picker

Pick what fits your shop.

Pick Mac if…

You want the most stable long-term setup, full local file access, and you're happy buying a small dedicated machine ($1,200–$2,000 once). Best long-term economics.

Pick Windows if…

You already have a Windows PC sitting in the office, you don't want to buy new hardware, and you're comfortable with the occasional manual restart.

Pick Cloud if…

You don't want to think about hardware at all, you've got no spare PC, or you want the simplest possible "set and forget" setup — happy to pay a bit more monthly.

FAQ

Deployment questions.

Yes. We can migrate Mac ↔ Windows ↔ Cloud. There's a small migration fee ($500) to cover the rebuild & data transfer. We'll quote it precisely if/when you want to switch.
No. Buy directly from Apple — you save the markup, you own it outright, you can claim it as a business asset. We just tell you the spec and configure it once it arrives.
Mac & Windows: the agent auto-restarts on power-on. Cloud: zero impact — runs on a different network entirely. For Mac/Windows, a $40 UPS handles short blips; for full redundancy, Cloud is the safest bet.
Different security model. Mac/Windows = your data stays on your machine, behind your firewall. Cloud = encrypted in transit + at rest, hosted in AU data centres, dedicated VM per client (no shared tenants). Both are secure for normal small to mid-market business data.
On Enterprise tier yes — e.g. one Mac for the office, one cloud agent for after-hours. Each agent is configured separately. Talk to us about specifics.
Default to Mac mini if you want top stability and lowest long-term cost. Default to Cloud if you want zero hardware hassle and don't mind +$100/mo. We talk this through during the discovery call.
