local ai · sovereignty · never pay again
Asnan Abidi
I build AI that runs on your own hardware.
Local agents & servers, deployed on hardware you own.
Your data stays yours — and you never pay to use it again.
You're renting AI. Own it instead.
The cloud wants you to pay every month, forever, and hand over your data in the bargain. Here's the other way.
- API tokens£480/mo
- more tokens£820/mo
- your data, their serveralways
- the pricewhenever they say
- hardware, curatedone-time
- server, builtone-time
- your datanever leaves
- usage£0 forever
Proof, by the numbers
Every token, locally. Here's what that looks like — and what it would've cost in the cloud.
The cloud bill I never got
Same tokens, someone else's GPU:
From a gaming PC to a multi-agent system
One year, zero cloud bills. The short version.
Meet the team
Not one AI doing everything — a system of specialists, each with a job. Hover them.
Frankenstein
Delegates tasks across the whole system through Telegram group chats. The one in charge.
OpenCode
Code review, debugging, refactoring — the full development lifecycle, inside Docker.
Helios
Deep reasoning, research synthesis, and decomposing hard problems.
Super Sage
Runs Claude Code — the system's reasoning layer that plans the work and guides the other agents.
Agent Tim
Runs the MacBook: meetings, voice, transcription, computer use.
Beacon
Reads the news and delivers your daily briefing.
HR Rick
Payroll, benefits and people data — the HR brain that keeps the admin moving.
Proof, not promises
My first real client: AskJoe, a WhatsApp bot that answers questions from a professor's published work.
The day job
Before and around the agents — payroll, people-ops and analytics. The part that taught me to spot what's broken.
- Production AI assistant, 500+ queries/month over WhatsApp & webchat, zero cloud inference costs.
- Tool-calling RAG pipeline: 199 documents → 2,381 chunks, validated with 200–300 query eval runs.
- Led 5 people on a £1.8m charity analytics engagement — reconciled 429 survey responses against 1,395 bookings.
- Flagged a VAT compliance risk and shipped a local AI agent that saved 50+ hours.
- Payroll inputs, benefits and audit-ready records across a 12,000+ volunteer network.
- BambooHR data integrity: +15% reporting accuracy and monthly leadership dashboards.
- Payroll & HR in Paycom/Workday for a 60+ person healthcare business.
- Coached 4 managers, cut formal grievances 30%, 100% review completion twice running.
