AI that reads your documents and never leaves the building.

One box on your bench. It reads your manuals, your prints, your job files, and answers with the page cited. No subscription, no cloud, no data walking out the door. Built by a career electrician who wanted his own, and wrote the whole build down.

The Trade, plain: grab a free field note and you're on the list, every new note lands as it drops. Checkout runs through Gumroad, same cart as the paid guides, not some form I bolted on. Leave anytime.

What one box does

Reads your paper

Manuals, prints, invoices, handwritten shop notes. Ask in plain words, get the answer with the page it came from.

Never phones home

Pull the network cable and it keeps answering. Your data stays your data. That's the whole point, and we prove it.

Proven, not promised

Every claim is measured, dated, and published. The misses get published too, on purpose.

Follow the build

We build in the open: the wins, the misses, and the numbers at the wall. The field notes are the running record, free to read, written from the bench.

One free note puts you on the list. After that every new note comes to you the day it drops.

What we build

MIAI is private document intelligence for facilities: your SOPs and equipment docs answered on the floor, cited to the page, on hardware you own. See MIAI →

Boone on CampOS is the small-business box: a full open-source office suite with an AI that works your documents. In development now. Follow the build and you'll hear the day it ships. See what Boone is →

Rather build your own? The B60 reference build is documented start to finish, parts to first answer. Build it yourself →

When it ships, you'll know first

Boone's release, MIAI pilots, new guides and kits: the list hears it before anybody else does. Same deal as above, one free note and you're on it.
