Independent R&D Studio

For the work that
never clocks out.

ThirdShift R&D builds private, on-site systems you own. The flagship pairs the open-source CampOS suite — office, files, books, CRM, and a full creative studio — with Boone, an AI guide that knows your own documents, in one box for small businesses and creators. Your data never leaves the building. Plus the industrial MIAI, the build guides, and hardware R&D.

Out in the open · priced to own, not rent · no subscriptions

Private by design · runs on-site · works with the cable unplugged

What is CampOS · in plain terms

One box in your shop that replaces the monthly stack. On a normal Tuesday it means: you photograph a crumpled invoice and it's filed, searchable, and cited — with any doubtful number flagged for your eyes. You ask "what's on today?" and Boone answers from your calendar and your paperwork. Your books, files, CRM, and a full creative studio run on hardware you own — and it all keeps working with the internet cable unplugged.

What we build
Private suite + AI In development

Boone on CampOS

A complete business box you own — the open-source CampOS suite (office, files, books, CRM, creative studio) with Boone, an AI guide that knows your own documents, and now reads the paper ones too, every doubtful number flagged for your eyes. No subscriptions. Not yet for sale — when it ships you'll buy a unit, bring your own box, or build it yourself.

Local AI · for facilities

MIAI

A private, on-site AI that catalogs your facility's SOPs, equipment docs, and troubleshooting procedures. Techs query a local 30B-class model in real time to cut troubleshooting time where it matters most — in the field. Everything stays on your network.

Straight Answers

The questions everyone asks about running AI on your own hardware — is it private, which model, what hardware, how to start — answered from building and running it, not from theory.

Don't take our word for it

Try to catch it lying → a real photo, a real AI misread, one wrong number — find it. Or pick Boone's voice out of a lineup. Then see the receipts — every claim we make, dated and measured — and the blind-spot ledger: the attacks our guard can't catch, published instead of papered over. No AI company shows you this page. That's why ours does.
