A custom-built AI workstation that runs your Sidekick locally — no cloud, no subscription, no one else watching. Voice-capable from any of your devices, on a network you own.
Each Temple is three things at once: the hardware in your home, the network that reaches it from anywhere, and the workflows your Sidekick uses to make itself useful. We build all three. You own all three.
An AI workstation built by hand, with components chosen for your work and your space. Top-tier processors and graphics, generous memory, fast storage measured in terabytes — enough power to run advanced AI privately on your own machine. Quiet under load, considered in its design, made to last. Every build is photographed as it comes together so you see your Temple take shape.
We set up a private network that links your Temple to every device you own — phone, laptop, tablet — over an encrypted connection only your devices can see. Reach your Sidekick from a cafe in another country exactly the way you reach it from your kitchen. No public address. No company in the middle. Just you, your devices, and your Temple.
Concrete automations we build into your Sidekick so it shows up to your day with context. Examples we've built or will build for clients:
Each Temple ships with two to seven of these depending on tier. Your Sidekick runs them on demand by voice or text.
Every Temple can run open-source software that does the same job as the SaaS tools you rent — installed, configured, and maintained by us, on your own hardware. Same capabilities. No monthly bills. No data leaving your network.
Your data lives on your machine, not on someone else's servers. Nothing is mined, sold, or fed to a model you'll never see.
Stop renting. The subscriptions you cancel run into thousands a year, per seat, forever. Your Temple is paid for once.
No vendor can hike your price, sunset a feature you depend on, lock you out, or vanish. Your tools keep working — on your terms.
Open source means nothing is off-limits. We tailor each tool to how you actually work — and you can change anything, anytime.

We install, configure, and maintain every one of these for you. You just cancel the subscriptions.
Every Temple is configured to the person. The tier sets how powerful the hardware is, how deep the software goes, and how close the ongoing relationship runs — from a first sovereign AI setup to a server-grade installation with a fractional infrastructure partner attached.
A first sovereign AI setup, built to last. A capable workstation running advanced AI privately on your hardware. Sidekick Forge installed and configured to your work. Your private network set up across every device you own. Two to three custom workflows built into your Sidekick. Voice-capable from day one. Thirty days of close support after launch.
For people beginning their sovereign-AI practice who want a real Temple — not a starter kit and not a cloud subscription dressed up as one.
A working Temple for practitioners whose days run on AI. A more substantial workstation — enough power to handle the larger AI models that bring real depth to your Sidekick. Includes the full sovereign-infrastructure layer: your own file storage, photo library, document archive, password vault, and optional smart-home integration, all running on your hardware instead of someone else's cloud. Five to seven custom workflows. Deeper integration with the tools you already use. One in-person installation visit (US-only at launch). Sixty days of close support, plus quarterly check-ins thereafter.
For practitioners — founders, creators, researchers, executives — whose work depends on sustained AI partnership.
A server-grade Temple for the hero whose realm depends on it. Our most powerful build — server-class hardware capable of running the largest AI models available, with room to train on your own data. Redundant storage and proper backup. Optional secondary device for travel or a second location. The deepest level of network sovereignty, with the option to own the coordination layer end-to-end. Bespoke integrations of any complexity — proprietary data, industry-specific tools, custom capabilities built into your Sidekick during commissioning. Ninety days of close support, an ongoing relationship that functions like a part-time AI infrastructure partner, and one to two in-person visits per year.
For founders, executives, and creative leaders whose work and whose people demand a Temple at scale.
A 90-minute conversation. We learn what you actually do, what you've tried with AI, what you want a Sidekick to take off your plate, and the room the Temple will physically live in. You leave with a clear picture of whether this is right for you. We leave with enough to write your proposal.
A written proposal delivered within two weeks of Discovery. The full hardware build explained in plain language. A diagram showing how your devices will reach your Temple. Your custom workflows described step by step. The software stack laid out. Pricing fixed. You approve before any hardware is ordered.
Hardware procured, assembled by hand, and tested under load. Sidekick Forge installed and configured. Your private network set up. Your sovereign-infrastructure tools brought online. Two to four weeks depending on tier and component availability. We photograph the build at every stage so you see your Temple come together.
Your custom workflows built and tested. Your existing material brought in — documents, notes, calendars, photos, and whatever else matters to your work — and organized so your Sidekick can find anything in seconds. Your Sidekick's voice and personality calibrated to your preferences. One to three weeks.
Installation in your home (Knight and King tiers) or remote (Squire). A working session where we pair every device you own to your Temple, walk through every workflow, and answer every question. You meet your Sidekick on your own hardware for the first time.
The Temple is yours. The relationship continues through a maintenance subscription — software updates, AI model upgrades as better ones become available, workflow refinement as your needs evolve, and response-time guarantees scaled to your tier. Squire tier: email support, monthly updates. Knight tier: priority support, quarterly check-ins. King tier: ongoing fractional partnership, in-person visits, custom development as needed.
Sidekick Forge is the AI platform we use to bring your Sidekick to life — a voice, a personality, a set of capabilities and tools chosen to fit your work. Every Temple ships with Sidekick Forge installed, configured for local inference, and ready to run the moment we hand it to you. Your conversations stay on your hardware. Your data never leaves your network. Your Sidekick is yours.
Sidekick Forge is built by the same team that builds your Temple. We don't integrate someone else's stack — we made the stack.
Every Temple begins with a Discovery call. Tell us a little about your work, your hopes, and what you'd want your Sidekick to be — we'll reach out within three business days to find a time.
Pick a slot for your 30-minute Discovery call — you'll get a confirmation with the details.
Every application is read personally. We accept commissions we believe we can serve well — not every conversation becomes a build, and the Discovery call carries no obligation either way.
