A pre-configured AI appliance for organisations that need private AI without the IT project. Plug it in. Power it on. Your entire team has local, GDPR-compliant AI in under five minutes — no cloud accounts, no data processor agreements, no waiting.
We ship it configured for your organisation. You don't need a developer, a cloud account, or an IT project.
Connect power and ethernet. The HARBOUR AI Box is a mini-PC pre-loaded with HARBOUR AI, Ollama, and your chosen AI models. No software to install.
Every device on your network can access HARBOUR AI immediately at the local IP. No app to install. No accounts to create. Just open a browser.
Admin creates user accounts. Your team logs in and starts using EMMA, BELLA, SAPPHIRE, JADE, and ELLIE — all running locally on your hardware. Nothing leaves the room.
Every HARBOUR AI Box ships with the full software stack ready to go — models included.
EMMA, BELLA, SAPPHIRE, JADE, and ELLIE pre-configured and ready. 67 marketplace agents available offline. Multi-agent responses, debate mode, and EMMA orchestration all included.
Every message is scanned for UK personally identifiable information — NHS numbers, NI numbers, postcodes, phone numbers, emails, card numbers — before it reaches any model. Nothing sensitive touches the AI.
Every action — every chat, login, admin change, and API call — is logged with a SHA-256 chain hash. The chain can be verified at any time to prove no records have been altered. Exportable as CSV for regulators.
Llama 3.1 (8B), Phi-4-Mini, and LLaVA (vision) pre-downloaded and ready at first boot. No internet required after delivery. Additional models can be pulled from Ollama on your local network.
Upload your policies, contracts, and documents once. Every agent references them automatically in every conversation. Runs on ChromaDB — fully offline vector search, no cloud index.
Appliance mode disables public registration. Only administrator-created accounts can log in. Combined with your local network firewall, the box is accessible only to authorised staff.
Because HARBOUR AI Box runs on your infrastructure, you get compliance capabilities that are structurally impossible with cloud AI providers.
A pre-processing layer scans every message for UK personally identifiable information before it reaches the language model. Detected items are replaced with [REDACTED:TYPE] tokens.
Every chat, login, admin action, API call, and setting change is written to an append-only audit log. Each entry includes a chain hash linking it to all previous entries — tamper-evident by design.
HARBOUR AI Box is a software appliance. We can configure it on any mini-PC that meets the spec below — or supply a recommended unit.
| COMPONENT | MINIMUM | RECOMMENDED | NOTES |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | 8-core x86-64 | AMD Ryzen 7 / Intel Core i7 | Ollama runs inference on CPU. More cores = faster responses. |
| RAM | 16 GB | 32 GB | 8B parameter models need ~8 GB. 32 GB allows 13B models comfortably. |
| Storage | 256 GB NVMe SSD | 512 GB NVMe SSD | Each model is 4–8 GB. SSD ensures fast model loading. |
| GPU (optional) | — | 8 GB VRAM (RTX 3060 / RX 7600) | GPU offloading cuts response time from ~30s to ~3s on 8B models. |
| Network | 100 Mbps LAN port | Gigabit LAN | Wi-Fi works but wired is recommended for a shared server. |
| OS | HARBOUR OS | HARBOUR OS (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) | Pre-installed by us. Built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Ollama, nginx, and all services pre-configured. Zero OS setup required. |
| Users supported | 1–5 | Up to 20 concurrent users | Depends on model size and request frequency. EMMA queues requests gracefully. |
For IT teams that want to provision their own machines. HARBOUR OS is a bootable installer image built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Ollama, HARBOUR AI, nginx, and all services pre-configured. Flash to USB, boot, walk away.
HARBOUR OS is the same installer image we use to provision every HARBOUR AI Box before it ships. IT teams can use it to deploy onto their own certified hardware — mini-PCs, servers, or dedicated workstations.
