Local AI setup and AI consulting

By Eruo Fredoline · Updated 9 November 2026

We set up private, local AI on your own Mac or PC, remotely, and help with AI questions we can handle. The work is done by Eruo Fredoline, who runs the tests published on this site.

Prefer to do it yourself? The free setup path-finder and Will it run? show how to do much of this yourself.

What we offer

Private AI Setup

For one person

We install local AI on your own Mac or PC, remotely, so you can chat with an open-weight model that runs on your machine.

Private AI Setup for a small office

For offices of 1 to 3 seats (more on request)

Private AI Setup for the computers in a small office, on the machines you already have.

Care pack

For setup clients

Optional follow-up help after a setup, only when you ask for it.

AI consulting

For individuals, small firms and developers

Help with AI questions we can handle, from picking hardware to moving a workflow off a cloud API. Each project is scoped in writing first.

What a Private AI Setup usually covers

The written quote is what binds. A setup typically includes:

A check of your machine: what will and will not run on it, from its memory (RAM and graphics memory) and its operating system.
Installing a local runtime that suits the machine: Ollama, LM Studio or llama.cpp.
One to three open-weight models, picked for your hardware and the tasks you want them for.
A chat interface, for example Open WebUI or the runtime’s own app.
Optional: private question-answering over your own documents, kept on your machine.
A short written handover: what was installed, how to update it and how to remove it.

What AI consulting covers

Only what we can actually do:

Picking hardware for local AI, and checking whether a model will run on a given machine.
Choosing and testing open-weight models for a task, including Turkish-language tasks.
Private document Q&A (RAG) and simple agents or automations, on local or hosted models.
Local versus cloud cost comparisons (our cost vs cloud page shows the method).
Moving a workflow from a cloud API to a local model.
Plain-language AI usage notes for a small team. These are not legal advice.

How it works

You send the enquiry form below: what you want to do and, if you can, which computer you have.
We reply by email, with questions or a written quote: the scope, what is included and what is not.
Nothing starts until you have agreed to the quote.
The work is remote only, over a screen share that you start. You keep control of your machine the whole time.

We never ask for your passwords. When one is needed, you type it yourself.
Your files stay on your machine.

What we don’t do

Legal, tax or compliance advice. We design setups so your data stays on your own machine, but we do not certify compliance with GDPR or any other law.
On-site visits. All work is done remotely.
