Local AI: models on your own hardware
Image and video generation and a text assistant, running on the computers in your company. Files and conversations stay inside, and there is no subscription for the tool itself.
Who it is for
- for companies that cannot or do not want to send client material to outside services
- for studios, agencies and creators who generate a lot of images or video
- for teams where non-technical people need to use the tool too
What I set up
An image and video workstation. I install ComfyUI, download the models and arrange ready-made workflows: image from a description, video from a description, video from a photo. Each one has plain names, notes and a cheat sheet, so someone seeing ComfyUI for the first time can manage.
A local assistant. A language model running on your computer. It writes, summarises and helps with documents you would rather not send to the cloud. It also works without an internet connection.
A custom workflow. One specific task arranged so it can be repeated: the same style, format and quality every time.
Training. I show you how to work with it on your own examples: how to write prompts, what to correct and what the model will not do.
Care. Models and tools change every few months. I update them and fix things when something stops working.
What hardware you need
Video needs a strong graphics card. I have configured workstations on RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 cards. Text and images usually run on weaker hardware.
If you are not sure your computer is enough, we start with an assessment. I check the hardware and what the AI is for. You get an answer on what can run on what you have and what would need buying.
What it costs
| What you get | Price |
|---|---|
| Assessment: hardware, needs and what can run | 300 – 500 PLN |
| ComfyUI workstation | 1 500 – 2 500 PLN |
| Another computer with the same setup | 800 – 1 200 PLN |
| Local assistant | 2 500 – 4 000 PLN |
| Local assistant for a team | 4 000 – 7 000 PLN |
| Custom workflow | 400 – 1 000 PLN |
| Training | from 500 PLN |
| Care | 200 – 400 PLN / month |
| Ad hoc help | 150 PLN / h |
I give the exact figure after the assessment, before anything starts. Prices do not include hardware.
What a local model will not do
A local model will not match the largest cloud models at every task. During the assessment I tell you plainly what will work well at your end and what is better left to a cloud service.
Common questions
Do my files go anywhere?
No. The model runs on your computer and does not need the internet to work. A connection is needed only for installation and updates.
Do the models cost anything?
I use models that can be downloaded free of charge. Some have licences that restrict commercial use, so during the assessment I check which ones you can use in your work.
Can someone who is not a computer person handle it?
That is what the notes and the cheat sheet next to each workflow are for. In training we go through them together, on your examples.
What if a newer, better model comes out?
With care I swap it in and adjust the workflows. Without care you can order that as a one-off, at the hourly rate.
Not sure where to start?
Tell me what hardware you have and what you want to use AI for. I will reply whether it makes sense and where I would begin.
