The AI that never leaves your office.
A private AI appliance that searches and summarizes your firm’s document archive-every answer cited to the source-running on hardware inside your office. Disconnect the internet and it keeps working.
Book a confidential demoThe Landscape
Cloud AI tools mean handing sealed matters and work product to an outside company.
Clients and courts increasingly scrutinize where privileged material goes. ABA Formal Opinion 512 (2024) and subsequent state-bar guidance place the duty to protect client information squarely on the firm when using generative AI. Several state bars now advise obtaining client consent before confidential material touches a third-party AI tool.
Every major cloud AI platform processes your data on infrastructure you do not control, under terms you negotiate at arm’s length, inside jurisdictions you cannot choose. For a firm handling sealed matters, criminal defense, or sensitive civil litigation, that exposure is untenable.
The Answer
Privity puts the AI inside the firm’s office.
On a dedicated NVIDIA appliance physically in your building. Nothing is transmitted out. There is no third party to vet, no cloud account to provision, no data-sharing terms to review-because there is no cloud.
With Privity, there is no third party to consent to.
What It Does
What it does
Cite-grounded search
Plain-English search across the entire archive. Every answer is cited to the exact document and passage-answers grounded in your documents, not invented, with no black-box responses.
Instant summarization
Long agreements, deposition transcripts, and judicial opinions summarized in seconds. The source paragraph is one click away.
Cross-document clauses
Compare indemnification, non-compete, termination, and other clauses across dozens of contracts at once, with the relevant passages extracted side by side.
Role-based access
Staff only query the document sets they are cleared for. Permissions are managed inside the firm’s existing access structure.
Why Privity
Built by an engineer, owned by the firm.
Privity is built and maintained by a senior systems engineer with sixteen years of enterprise infrastructure experience-not a reseller wrapping someone else’s API in a chat box.
The firm owns the hardware. The system is patched and supported for years. There is no per-seat SaaS fee, no data egress charge, no surprise price increase when usage grows.
At the demo, we unplug the network cable and it keeps working.
Who It Serves
Firms handling sealed, privileged, or highly sensitive matters.
Criminal defense, family law, trusts and estates, IP litigation, and government-adjacent work-any practice where the confidentiality pressure is highest and cloud tools are not an option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about private AI.
Does any client data leave our office?
No. The system runs on hardware in your building and can operate fully offline. Nothing is transmitted to any outside company, cloud provider, or third party.
How is this different from ChatGPT or Copilot?
Those services send your documents to an outside company's cloud infrastructure for processing. Privity has no cloud and no third party. The AI runs entirely on the appliance inside your firm.
What about our ethical obligations around AI?
The ABA's 2024 guidance and several state bars place the duty to protect client information on the firm when using generative AI. Keeping data on-premise removes third-party exposure entirely, which directly addresses the core concern raised by those opinions. This is not legal advice; consult your own ethics counsel for your specific obligations.
Do we own the hardware?
Yes. The firm buys the appliance directly and owns it. There is no subscription model, no per-seat fee, and no data egress charge.
