# Orchestrate where your AI thinks.  

Locai is the intelligence, orchestration and routing layer for where your AI runs. One endpoint enforces your inference policy: routing every request to device, on-prem, private cloud or frontier API, optimised for cost, privacy and latency.

Deploy Locai

On your prem+ 

Adopt AI without handing over the estate. Locai runs inside your own infrastructure, so data residency and inference residency are both yours to set. You keep full flexibility over where and when each request runs.

In your product+ 

Ship the runtime inside your app and inference happens on your customer's device. One OpenAI-compatible endpoint either way. Your code doesn't change when the answer comes from silicon in their hand instead of a server you own.

The platform

### Locai gives you Control 

The scalable intelligence, orchestration and routing layer for your AI: every node, model and policy on one plane of glass. What ran where, on whose silicon, at what cost, and why the router sent it there.

Policy-driven routing : optimise every request for cost, latency and privacy 

Fleet management at scale : models, versions and health across thousands of nodes 

Runs where your users are : desktop, servers and mobile devices, one endpoint 

Full audit trail : every placement decision logged and explainable 

[Access Control](https://control.locai.co.uk) [Read the docs](https://docs.locai.co.uk/docs)

Locai is in early development. Some features shown may not yet be in production or are in early testing. Before purchasing, please reach out at [hello@locai.co.uk](mailto:hello@locai.co.uk) to enquire about specific capabilities.

![Locai Workspace, a localised AI workspace running on your own infrastructure](/locai/a52ae546-3f75-4bd8-b3bb-a8ec0c0c0ab1.png)

The workspace

### Locai lets you Work 

Chat, documents and search for your whole team, running on the infrastructure you already own. Nothing syncs to a third-party cloud.

Why

### Why redirect inference at all?

One endpoint, four places to run. The reasons to choose between them are not exotic. They are the four things every AI product eventually runs into.

Margin

Per-token pricing scales with every user

Silicon your customers already own does not. Move the routine work off the meter and keep the frontier bill for the requests that earn it.

Custody

Data that never leaves cannot leak

Nor can it train someone else's model. Keep the sensitive path inside your estate and compliance becomes a property of the architecture, not a review to survive.

Latency

The shortest path is the device in hand

No round trip, no queue behind someone else's traffic. Interactive work feels immediate when the answer is computed where the question was asked.

Continuity

A dropped link shouldn't stop the work

Ships, sites and clinics lose connectivity as a matter of routine. When the model is already local, an outage is an inconvenience rather than a stoppage.

Working with us

### Supporting you every step of the way

The hardest part of adopting AI is knowing where best to use it. We work with your team to understand your problems and challenges, scope the workflows and use cases where AI earns its keep, and help you transform into an AI-first business.

Phase 01 . AI enablement

As needed  Enterprise plan  4-12 weeks 

#### We get your business ready

Taken as needed, many teams use it, none are required to. We support you in preparing your business or product to integrate Locai, before a single query is routed.

What's included

01 Building out your data lakehouse  ? Data lakehouse One tidy home for all your company's data. The cheap "store everything" bottom of a data lake (files, tables, logs) with a warehouse's clean, queryable tables on top. One copy of the truth for analytics and for training models. 

02 Initial model training and development 

03 Connectors and plugins built for your business 

04 Workshops on how orchestration fits your business 

Phase 02 . AI implementation

Support to fit  Full handover optional 

#### Then we get you live

We integrate Locai into your business and, if you want, hand its management fully over to your team. You choose how much of us stays.

Support levels

Fully managed

We run the estate end to end.

Forward-deployed engineers

Part-time engineers embedded with your team.

Virtual support

Our accounts team, on call when you need them.

Pricing

### Pay for orchestration, not per token

Infrastructure prices the estate. Workspace prices the people on it. The silicon is already yours.
