OwnBrain · local AI

AI on your company data.
Without sharing it.

You type a question or a task, just as you would in ChatGPT or Copilot. But the AI runs in your own office, on equipment you own.

Example of a question to OwnBrain

You want AI. You don't want to give your data away.

Do you work with company data you'd rather not paste into ChatGPT or Copilot, such as client files, quotes or financial figures? Then OwnBrain is made for you. From notaries and healthcare practices to municipalities, installation companies and other SMEs.

  • Your colleagues already use ChatGPT or Copilot, but nobody knows which client data goes into it.
  • You want AI to work with contracts, case files and quotes, but they must not leave the building.
  • Your clients count on their data staying confidential, and the GDPR requires it too.
  • You want to decide for yourself what the AI knows and who can access it.

What OwnBrain does for you

  1. Your company knowledge gives the answers

    Colleagues ask a question in plain language and get an answer from your own manuals, procedures and case files, with the source included. New documents are quickly searchable.

  2. Confidential data can go in too

    Contracts, client files, figures: your colleagues can ask anything without hesitating. What they put in stays within your organisation, unless you choose otherwise.

  3. You own it, and you stay in control

    OwnBrain and your data belong to you. You decide who works with it, and OwnBrain follows the permissions you’ve already set up: each colleague only gets answers from files they can access themselves. If you choose management by us, we too only get access with your permission.

  4. A fixed price, not per user

    You pay once for the equipment, set-up, installation and training, plus a fixed monthly fee if you choose management. An extra user costs nothing, up to the limit of your edition.

Your own AI, as easy as a chat

OwnBrain is a complete AI installation: the equipment, the AI models and secure access. We place it in your office and set it up. Then your colleagues log in in their browser with their own account and type their question. You can also reach it outside the office.

Among other things, your colleagues can use it to:

  • Ask questions about your own documents, such as manuals, procedures and quotes
  • Draft and rewrite emails, letters and reports
  • Summarise and translate documents and minutes

Real recording, shortened and in Dutch: a question about a fictitious notary file. In this example OwnBrain works in Nextcloud. Using other software? Then we'll look at what's possible together.

Built for everyday practice: the SOLID project

In the SOLID project, we are working with Zuyd University of Applied Sciences and DoCoNEXT to build a digital workplace with its own AI, in which the organisation itself decides who can access its data. The municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul and Jouw Advocaten are test partners in the project. The project is supported by SIDN Fonds and Digital Holland.

Management and updates

We keep OwnBrain up to date: new, smarter AI models and features, plus security and server updates. We test every update before we roll it out, and afterwards we check with fixed test questions that the answers stay right. Support hours are included. We only see measurements, such as temperature and disk health, never the content of your documents or questions. Prefer to manage it yourself? That's fine too.

Frequently asked questions about OwnBrain and local AI

Can’t find your question? Email it to hello@yourdata.network or ask it using the form below.

Is OwnBrain a good alternative to ChatGPT or Copilot?

You type a question or a task, just as you would there, and get an answer. For questions about your own documents and for drafting, summarising and translating texts, OwnBrain works well. For complex reasoning, the big cloud services are stronger. Plus reasons better than Go, and with Pro you run larger AI models. Unlike Copilot, OwnBrain is not built into Microsoft Office.

Is the AI trained on your documents?

No. With every question, OwnBrain searches the documents you give it. Each colleague only gets answers from documents they have access rights to. The AI model itself does not change. A new document is quickly searchable, and if you remove a document, OwnBrain no longer uses it in new answers.

Can anyone outside your organisation access your data?

No, unless you choose to allow it. We can only access it if you give us access. If you choose management by us, we set out in a data processing agreement what we may and may not do. By default, OwnBrain is not connected to an online AI service such as ChatGPT. Is a question too demanding? Then, as an extra option, you can switch on an online AI service per question. You choose when, and we remove sensitive data as far as possible. Discuss it with us when you request your price estimate.

How do your documents get into OwnBrain?

OwnBrain reads the documents you already work with, for example in Nextcloud, or in a folder on OwnBrain itself. The first time, it reads everything and builds its own index. A small folder is ready within an hour, a large archive within a few days. After that, it processes new and deleted files automatically. It cannot yet read text in images or scanned PDFs. OwnBrain works most easily with a Nextcloud that we manage for you. If your Nextcloud is hosted elsewhere, or you use other software, we’ll look at the options together. Not using Nextcloud yet? Then we’ll set it up for you.

What do you need at the office?

A power socket and a network connection. We place and install it, and nothing needs to change on your router. Access from outside, management and monitoring run through Mycelium, an encrypted network without an intermediary. At rest, the Go uses about 70 watts, and at most about 570 watts. For backup power, you need a UPS that delivers at least 750 watts (note: that is more than 750 VA). In use, the fans run, much like a PC. So don’t put it where it needs to be quiet.

Start with AI, and expand when you're ready

OwnBrain can be your first step. We set up your entire digital workplace in the same way. So you stay in control of all your company data, not just what goes into the AI.
