A private AI under your own roof

A private AI that runs inside your building.

Chat, documents, generation and code happen there, and everything it does, it does on its own.

01 — the floor

What It Is For

One machine, in your building. It answers questions about your own documents, and makes the work you would otherwise pay someone else for — text, images, video, speech, music, code.

All of it happens here. None of it leaves.

Your material leaves the building: never.

The machine part-built in a dark studio: a shallow bowl base with curved ribs rising from it, one of them deep red, and flat components waiting in the air alongside.

02 — the board

Where A Model Sits

This is what lets it hold a long document in mind at once, so an answer follows the thread instead of losing it.

Several models run at the same time, and you can switch mid-conversation. Ask about your own files and the answer comes back with the page it came from.

Documents sent away to be read: zero.

Where The Pictures Come From

This is the part that makes the pictures, the video, the voices and the music — at full resolution, as often as you like.

Every image on this site came out of it.

Charge per image: none.

The machine part-built: a ring of tall curved ribs with one in deep red, interior panels visible between them and a round canopy raised above on a central stem.

04 — the shell

The Wall

The shell closes over everything you have just watched go in.

What the machine makes stays on this side of it. The usual alternative sends your work to a building you have never seen, where it then exists twice.

Copies of your work elsewhere: none.

A dark machine alone on the floor of an unlit studio, a rounded pillow-shaped body whose entire surface is a woven lattice of small crossed struts in matte charcoal, with one deep-red line winding diagonally up and around it.

05 — the object

What You Hand It

Closed, it is about knee height. Something you walk up to, not something you log into.

You give it the material that cannot go into somebody else’s system: contracts, case files, drawings, recordings. It reads them, searches them, and cites them back.

Distance your material travels: across a room.

Filling the frame, two enormous X-shaped strut crossings in pale grey, lit from the front. Behind them, in shadow, a second much finer lattice, its small diamond openings glowing warm copper with light coming from inside the machine.

06 — the wall

Through The Wall

The surface is woven, not punched. That is what lets it breathe without giving up any stiffness.

It is printed in one piece — no seams, no fasteners, nothing to work loose.

Moving parts in the shell: none.

Inside the machine, lit pink-white. A smooth pale panel fills the left half; at the centre a fan and a standoff; at the right the inner face of the lattice wall, a field of small pyramids with diamond openings between them.

07 — inside

What It Does On Its Own

Inside are the parts you would expect — boards, fans, a cooler, a power supply — doing the work they do anywhere.

It also takes on jobs. Give it a task and it reads your files, writes and runs the code, and hands back something finished. It queues up the decisions. You make them.

Decisions a person makes: every one.

08 — the count

What Leaves

Two things leave this machine: heat, and whatever you choose to send.

The second one is a switch. Throw it and everything carries on — chat, documents, generation, code — because none of it was going anywhere to begin with.

Some of what you have seen is in daily use and some is still being built. The table that says which is on the site, not available on request.

Copies of your work in the world: one.

The machine: a softly rounded body, soft-edged throughout, its entire shell a fine woven lattice of dark struts over a second finer layer behind it, with one continuous deep-red garnet path winding up and around it.

Garnet Grid builds the machine above — one private AI, installed in your building and priced as a build. It also runs the practice behind it: audits, engagements and production lanes, the same operations work we run on our own stack.

Pictures on this page. The hero is the machine's own parts, drawn by an image model from photographs of those parts and set in motion by a video model. The eight chapters below it are the Descent; the machine in them is rendered from its design file rather than drawn.
