How the AI behind it works.

No mystery, and no one else’s cloud. Here is what happens to a message, the hardware that reads it, and what is and isn’t kept.

One message, start to finish.

Most of the job is plain, fixed steps. The AI does one part: reading and drafting. You check it before anything goes out.

WhatsApp · Dawn · 08:42

Hi, it’s Dawn. My laptop won’t turn on since the weekend. There’s a little light but the screen stays black. I work from home so I’m a bit stuck. Any chance someone could look this week?

  1. Fixed rule

    It lands in the in-tray

    A message arrives on WhatsApp or email and is copied into the tool. No AI involved.

  2. The AI

    Read and drafted, here in town

    Our AI in Bishop’s Stortford reads it and writes a reply. It never promises a price or a day.

    Hi Dawn, sorry to hear your laptop is playing up. That sounds like a common issue we can often resolve. We’d be happy to take a look. Please send it in on [day] and we’ll assess it then. Let us know if that works for you. Stort Valley Computers

  3. You

    You check it

    Fill in the day, change a word, or bin it. Nothing is sent until you say so.

  4. Fixed rule

    Sent, and logged

    The reply goes out and the job is written into your list, so nothing is forgotten.

Where your message goes.

From your phone, to our server, to the AI machine, and back. All of it in Bishop’s Stortford.

  • Not sent to OpenAI, Google or anyone else.
  • What you paste into the demos isn’t saved or used for training.
  • In a tool we build you, what gets kept, and for how long, is agreed with you first.

Questions people ask.

Is my data sent to ChatGPT, Google or anyone else?

No. The demos and the tools we host run on our own hardware in Bishop’s Stortford. Your text goes from your browser to our server and to the AI machine over our own network, and nowhere else.

Which AI model is it?

An open model from the Qwen family, with 27 billion parameters, running 8-bit on two RTX 3090 graphics cards. Open means anyone can download and run it; nothing about it is secret, which is part of the point.

Can it get things wrong?

Yes. That’s why our tools draft rather than send, use words like “likely” instead of “definitely”, and are told never to invent a name, price or date. You stay in charge of what goes out.

What if the AI can’t answer straight away?

Every tool we build is designed for it. Depending on the job it waits and tries again, follows a simple rule, or hands over to a backup, so a customer is never left without a reply. We agree which before anything is built.

Do I need new software or a new computer?

Usually not. Most tools work in a web browser or plug into what you already use, like Gmail, Outlook, Google Sheets or WhatsApp. Running AI on your own premises does need a capable PC, which we can build.

Does it learn from what I type?

No. It doesn’t keep what people type. It gets better when we improve its written instructions.

Tell us the job you keep putting off.

We’ll say if a small AI tool would sort it, and what it would cost. If the honest answer is “you don’t need one”, you’ll hear that too.
