AI Server is a private AI server for teams. It runs chat, document search, image generation, speech and vision models on hardware you own, and serves them through one OpenAI-compatible API to your staff, your apps and your own software. Prompts and documents stay inside your network.
The problem it solves
Teams want AI assistants, document search and transcription. The common options each have a cost:
- Cloud AI services send company data to a third party and charge per use, indefinitely.
- AI on every laptop needs powerful laptops, downloads multi-gigabyte models onto each one, and gives IT no control.
- Building your own AI platform needs specialist engineers to assemble, secure and maintain it.
AI Server is the packaged alternative: install it on one capable machine (or a cluster), and everyone uses it.
What you get
| Capability | What it means for the business |
|---|---|
| One API for chat, search, images, speech and vision | Existing OpenAI-based tools and code work by changing an address |
| AI Suite apps and AI Client | Ready-made desktop apps for writing, documents, translation, transcription and more, using the server |
| API keys per person and app | Access you can grant and revoke, with usage per key |
| Governance (Commercial) | Rate limits, quotas, budgets, content rules, approved models, signed audit log |
| AI Gateway (Commercial) | Grow from one server to a farm of up to 25 with one address, failover and safe upgrades |
| Runs anywhere you do | Windows app, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure and AWS marketplaces |
Who it is for
- Small and mid-sized organisations that want AI on their own terms without an AI engineering team.
- IT departments that need one controlled service instead of unmanaged AI tools on every desk.
- Developers and integrators building AI features into internal systems or products.
- Organisations with data rules — legal, finance, healthcare providers, public sector, research — that cannot send documents to a public AI service.

What it takes to run
- Hardware: a computer you already own for a pilot; one workstation with a modern GPU for a team; more servers behind a gateway as use grows. See scaling and sizing.
- People: an IT generalist installs it in an afternoon. No machine-learning expertise is needed: models are downloaded and run by the server.
- Ongoing: the Windows app updates through Microsoft Store; containers update by pulling a new version.
Next steps
- Try it free on one computer: install on Windows.
- Estimate value: business case.
- Review risks with your security and legal teams: risk and compliance.
- Size servers and seats with the deployment planner.
Questions
Is AI Server a cloud service? +
No. It is software you run. Software Tailor does not host your AI or see your data.
How is AI Server different from AI Suite? +
AI Suite is a set of desktop AI apps that can run models on each PC. AI Server runs the models centrally so many people and apps share them; AI Client is the lightweight desktop app for using a server.
Can we start small? +
Yes. Start free on one computer, move to Pro Personal or Commercial when other people need it, and add servers behind a gateway when one machine is not enough.
