Bastios puts an AI executive assistant and a library of business tools on a Mac you own, with enterprise-grade privacy features at its core. Here's the part the big AI labs hate: your customer names, dollar figures, and secrets are pseudonymized before a single word reaches their model. Their models do the work — they never see your business.
Paste your books, your customers, and your process into a cloud chatbot and the model learns your business — so the lab behind it can price you by the token, train on your data, ship a competing product, or turn off your connection to their AI. Bastios is built the other way.
The details that identify your business — who your customers are, the numbers, your secrets — never leave your box in the clear. The AI does the reasoning; it never learns who you are or what you're worth. Your alpha stays yours.
Single-tenant on a Mac mini on your premises. Your books never leave by default, no one can train on your data — and no one can flip a switch and turn it off.
Swap Claude, GPT, or a cheaper open model in a click. You're not locked to one lab's pricing for tokens you can't measure — run the model that fits the job.
Your process, your data, and your competitive edge stay on your box. You're building your business — not training your own replacement.
An AI executive assistant paired with a library of business modules, running on a Mac mini you own. You talk to it in plain English; it answers with cards and queues every real action for a human. Permissioned by default.
Your box, on the loopback — nothing here leaves the machine.
Ask in plain English. No dashboards to learn — just tell it what you need.
KPIs, briefings, and tables render inline — answers you can read, not files to dig through.
Anything that spends money, sends a message, or leaves the box queues for a human first.
It runs on a Mac mini you own and control — not someone else's cloud.
Bastios is multi-user from day one. Add your people, give each a role, and the kernel enforces exactly what they can do — on every single action. One Mac, one bill, your whole team on it.
Bastios runs an AI agent on a Mac mini you own. Its security comes from ownership, containment, and transparency — every action is decided at one gate, the dangerous ones wait for a person, and the whole story is written down. Not a promise of invulnerability; a system you can actually inspect.
Every tool call — read a file, move money, send a message — passes through one decision point before it runs. Default-deny. Fail-closed. No bypass anywhere in the code.
The app, your files, and the agent's state live on a Mac mini you own and control. Operational state and the policy file sit outside any synced folder; secrets live in the macOS Keychain, never in plaintext sync.
One enforcement point that's default-deny and fail-closed: if policy is missing or corrupt, it denies — it never defaults to allow. There is no bypass anywhere in the code.
With no AI key, Bastios runs a keyless offline mode and sends nothing out. With your key, your context goes to your chosen provider only to draft replies. Default Pseudonymized mode swaps names for stand-ins and redacts secret formats first; the mapping key lives in memory only and is never stored.
Money, sends, and calls are gated at the broker — infrastructure, not a UI toggle — so they can't be misconfigured or automated away. Finance-tagged data is hard-blocked from leaving the box unless you explicitly opt in, enforced in code, not a warning dialog.
An append-only audit log records every broker decision — allowed, denied, pending, hard-blocked — with a timestamp and the actor, newest first. Auditors see every AI action, not just the payments.
Bastios can't run outside programs or commands — so the most common way attackers take over a computer simply doesn't exist here. It isn't reachable from the open internet, and it can't install anything from an app store. It runs only the specific tools you've reviewed and approved — nothing else can get in.
The honest posture: security through ownership, containment, and transparency — not a promise of invulnerability. An independent reviewer (a separate AI agent, not the builder) re-ran the full guardrail suite, wrote probe attacks, and confirmed one enforcement point with no bypass and fail-closed throughout.
Modules are the software add-ons you attach to the platform — each one runs a slice of your operation. The Executive Assistant is included in every package as the core engine; your package decides how many modules you bolt on around it — one, two, or all of them. New modules arrive over time, and Stay Current keeps the ones you own up to date.
Your AI chief of staff — the engine every package ships with.
Automated bookkeeping you own — no vendor lock-in.
Get paid — an escalating collections engine.
Your company brain, searchable and self-serve.
Win the job — estimates that learn your pricebook.
Reputation & demand — in your voice.
Never miss a call — or a customer.
Your package sets how much of the library you switch on — the Executive Assistant comes with all of them.
Every package ships with the Executive Assistant core. You choose how many modules you bolt on — and how hands-on you want us to be at onboarding. These are high-touch B2B engagements, so packages are quoted to your operation.
Get the assistant running on your own box — at your own pace.
Our recommended tier — we set it up with you, then hand you the keys.
The full platform, connected on-site and wired into your stack.
Everything in Platinum — plus a tool built around your workflow.
Your package is a one-time engagement. These two subscriptions are optional — add either one to keep Bastios current (or to skip running the hardware yourself).
For clients running their own Mac mini
For clients who’d rather not run the box
You own the box, and your data stays on it. No per-transaction fees, no lock-in — your audit ledger is yours, forever. The subscriptions above are optional; cancel one and the system you bought keeps running on your hardware.
The smallest way in — the Executive Assistant plus one module, running on a Mac you already own.
No servers to stand up, no data to migrate to someone else's cloud — and nothing to install, ever. Pick a package, we build your Mac and deliver it ready to go, you connect only what you approve, and go live with every action queued for a human.
Choose Starter, Gold, or Platinum, then the business modules you want switched on. Add more later — nothing's locked.
Every package, same treatment: we physically set up your Mac in-house — Bastios installed, configured, and primed with your business context — then deliver it to you ready to plug in. You install nothing.
The only step left: link the connectors you want — Google and the rest — with as much help as your package includes. Permissioned by default; nothing is touched without an explicit grant from you.
The assistant does the work. Real actions queue for approval, and every move is written to a ledger you keep forever.
Every box arrives fully set up by us. What scales with your package is the help you get connecting your apps — from instructions and videos to our team on-site.
Your Mac mini arrives ready to go. Link your connectors with clear step-by-step instructions and videos — at your own pace.
A live specialist on screen with you — walking you through every connector, then a guided handoff plus training for your team.
Platinum and Custom: we come on-site, connect everything, make sure the whole setup is right, and train your team hands-on — in the room with you.
Each tier maps to a package. Custom adds a bespoke tool built for your workflow, delivered consulting-grade. See all packages
Bastios is a product you run and supervise — not a service we operate for you. Bastios does the work; humans keep the controls.
AI is the biggest productivity lever in a generation. Bastios is built to capture it on your terms — on hardware you own, gated by approvals you control, with a receipt for every action. Here's what makes it different, and how big the prize really is.
Financial records, employee info, and customer data stay on a Mac mini you own — by default. Cloud SaaS keeps your data on their servers, under their terms.
vs. cloud: your data on someone else's boxSpend, send, and call actions are gated at the infrastructure level — the broker — not a checkbox in a settings page. They can't be misconfigured or quietly automated away.
vs. cloud: a toggle a script can flipNot just payments — every read, draft, and send the AI performs is written to a log you keep. Auditors see exactly what happened, when, and who approved it.
vs. cloud: partial logs you can't exportBookkeeping lives in an open, plain-text double-entry ledger — no proprietary format, no lock-in. Cloud bookkeeping vendors have collapsed and locked customers out of their own records; yours stay readable with or without us.
vs. cloud: records you can be locked out ofOne predictable license. No toll booth on every ACH, card swipe, or invoice — unlike AP and payment SaaS that meters you per transaction as you grow.
vs. cloud: a fee on every paymentEmail triage hard-boosts your sponsor and lender domains. The contract reader flags change-of-control and auto-renewal clauses on sight. Context generic tools simply don't have.
vs. cloud: built for everyone, tuned for no oneIf the AI provider is unreachable, Bastios doesn't go dark. Cards still render and core work continues with templated fallbacks — so the box keeps running even when the model doesn't.
vs. cloud: provider down means you're downIndependent research on what AI unlocks across the economy. These are industry findings, not Bastios's own results — the upside Bastios is built to capture, securely.
Everyone is racing toward AI. The operators who win are the ones who capture the upside without handing over the keys.
