Building private AI for SMEs at Indiebox

Indiebox - Run AI locally and keep company data private

Indiebox helps small and medium sized businesses use AI without exposing sensitive company data to external cloud tools. It runs locally on the Indiebox in your office, making it easier to keep control over documents, internal knowledge, and workflows while staying privacy conscious. Built for teams that want practical AI, but cannot simply rely on ChatGPT for everything.

Is it ethical for SaaS accounting tools to train AI on user data? 🛡️

I've been building a fintech tool for the MENA region, and I made a controversial choice: I built a desktop app.

Everyone told me to build a SaaS. "It's easier to scale," they said. "You can charge subscriptions," they said.

But I couldn't get past one thing: Financial Data Privacy.

As a developer, I know that once data hits a cloud server, "privacy" becomes a policy, not a guarantee. With Local AI (Ollama/Lm studio), we can now do OCR and analysis entirely offline.
