Ask your files
Document Q&A across your firm’s file history. Find the earlier brief, the prior agreement or the email that settled the point by asking in plain English.
Private AI for law firms. Client files stay in your office.
Ask questions across your matter files and get a first draft of the letter, the summary or the email from an AI assistant that runs on hardware inside your office. No client documents go to outside AI services, and you can verify that on your own network.
The problem
The tools are useful. Where the data goes is the problem.
Many attorneys have seen what modern AI can do with a stack of documents: summarize a deposition, find the clause you half-remember, rough out a first pass at a routine letter. The catch is how most of those tools work. You upload the document, and it’s processed on someone else’s servers, under someone else’s terms.
Lawyers owe their clients confidentiality. Before client documents go into any outside service, a firm has to be comfortable with where they go, who can see them and how long they’re kept. For many firms, the simplest answer is to keep them in the building.
That’s what private AI does. The models run on hardware in your office, your documents stay on your network, and nothing is sent to an outside AI service.

What it does
Help with the reading and the first draft.
First drafts, not final ones
Letters, emails, summaries and first passes at routine documents, drafted from your own templates for an attorney to review and finish.
Intake triage
Sort and summarize incoming inquiries so the right attorney sees the right matter sooner.
Internal knowledge search
Your forms, procedures and know-how, searchable by the whole team instead of living in one person’s head.
A lawyer stays in charge. AI makes mistakes: it can misread a document or state something confidently that isn’t right. Everything it produces is a draft for an attorney to check, and we train your team to use it that way.
Two ways to run it
Use your hardware, or let us supply ours.
Both keep your documents in your office. The difference is whose hardware it runs on and how much we manage for you.

Questions we get
Do our client documents leave the office?
Not for AI processing. The models run on hardware in your office, and the assistant makes no external AI calls. Your IT provider can confirm that by watching the traffic on your own network.
How is this different from a public AI chatbot?
A public chatbot runs on the provider’s servers, so anything you paste into it leaves your firm. Private AI runs on your own hardware, is tuned to your documents and templates, and sends nothing to an outside AI service.
Can the AI get things wrong?
Yes. Like any AI, it can misread a document or state something that isn’t correct. Treat everything it produces as a draft for an attorney to review. Training on how to use it well is included.
Do we need to buy new hardware?
Not necessarily. The private AI assistant can run on capable hardware you already own. If you’d rather have everything handled, the TSS Private AI Server is a complete appliance we build, install and manage on your premises.
How much does private AI cost?
The private AI assistant starts from $3,500 plus $500 a month, and the TSS Private AI Server from $8,000 plus $750 a month. Prices vary with your hardware, users, documents and models, so every project is quoted after a free consultation.
Will this meet our firm’s confidentiality obligations?
That’s a judgment for your firm, and we don’t give legal or ethics advice. What we can do is show you exactly where your data is stored and processed, so you can decide with the facts in hand.
