Use cases

Local AI for the work people already give to AI.

selbsai is built for everyday AI jobs that touch private context: software code, documents, email, research, sales, inventory, warehouse operations, compliance, and professional client files.

Everyday workflows

Start with jobs, not model names.

Keep proprietary code out of cloud prompts

Software coding

Review pull requests, explain legacy modules, draft tests, generate internal scripts, and search repo notes on a local machine attached to your own codebase.

PR reviewTest draftsRepo Q&A
Turn private files into usable drafts

Documents and text generation

Draft proposals, policies, reports, letters, executive summaries, structured tables, and reusable templates from approved local source material.

Faster replies without exposing the inbox

Email and personal assistant

Prepare replies, classify incoming messages, extract action items, write agendas, and turn meeting notes into follow-up work while keeping sensitive context local.

Briefings from documents you already trust

Research desk

Compare PDFs, summarize long materials, build research briefs, extract citations, and answer questions from local archives instead of open-ended web guessing.

Audit work without spreading control evidence

Compliance management

Search policies, compare obligations, prepare audit responses, flag missing evidence, and summarize controls while keeping compliance files inside your perimeter.

Audit answersControl evidencePolicy search
A private memory for repeated questions

Knowledge base

Create a searchable assistant over manuals, internal guidance, FAQs, client notes, and project archives so teams stop asking the same question twice.

Internal Q&AManual searchProject memory
Daily interface

How customers actually talk to the AI after setup.

After delivery, selbsai should feel like a private AI workspace, not a server project. Customers open a local browser interface, choose the right workflow, attach or search their own material, and get answers without moving daily work into a hosted AI account.

Typical address: selbsai.local

Private browser chat

Open the local web interface from a laptop, desktop, tablet, or phone on the same network and chat with the configured models like a normal AI assistant.

PDFs, office files, notes, exports

Document workspace

Drop files into the local knowledge area, ask questions against selected folders, request summaries, extract tables, and keep citations tied to source documents.

Less prompting, more repeatable work

Workflow starters

Use prepared entry points for coding, contract review, research, email drafts, sales notes, inventory checks, warehouse SOPs, and compliance evidence.

LAN-first, remote access by VPN policy

Local team access

Approved users on the office network can use the appliance without each person sending private work to a separate cloud account.

Portal for service, appliance for daily AI

Customer portal continuity

The selbsai customer portal remains the place for order documents, onboarding guidance, support, preload uploads, update notes, and handover records.

Clear user/admin separation

Admin and update boundary

Model updates, workflow changes, retention choices, and support actions are handled deliberately so daily chat remains separate from operational administration.

Professional appliances

The same engine, configured around the risk of the profession.

Lawyers and legal teams

Matter folders become searchable workspaces for first-pass letters, contract comparisons, chronology building, and cited file questions without putting privileged context into a hosted chat tool.

Doctors and health practices

Notes, letters, patient-facing explanations, forms, and practice guidance can be drafted and searched locally, reducing paperwork pressure without widening patient-data exposure.

Steuerberater and accounting offices

Receipts, invoices, client questions, DATEV-oriented exports, booking notes, and deadline files become easier to check before busy weeks and audits.

Architects and property professionals

Specifications, tenders, site notes, leases, owner reports, and due-diligence packs can be summarized, questioned, and checked while unpublished project context stays private.

Investment, insurance and pension advisors

Client portfolios, suitability notes, policy documents, fee details, and pension files can be prepared for review without sending wealth and family context to cloud AI.

Agencies and advisory teams

Brand voice, client research, campaign drafts, pitch material, and account notes stay searchable and reusable without training a third-party model on pre-launch work.

Why local wins

The advantage is operational, not only technical.

Cloud tools are good for generic work

They are fast to start, but sensitive code, documents, client files, employee data, financial records, and operations exports often create approval friction.

Local AI is better for repeated private work

The appliance sits in your environment, uses free and open-weight models selected for your workload, and reduces dependency on per-seat subscriptions.

The category is configured appliances

selbsai sells a working setup: hardware, model selection, retrieval tooling, secure handover, update policy, and customer portal support.
