Bastios puts an AI executive assistant and a library of business tools on a Mac you own, with serious privacy engineering at its core. It was engineered around what the big AI labs hate most: your customer names, your people, and your secrets are disguised before a single word reaches their model, and anything tagged financial or personal never reaches them at all. Their models do the work. They never know whose business they're working on.
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, who your people are, your secrets) never leave your box in the clear. The AI does the reasoning; out of the box, it never learns who you are, and a masked name can never come back as the wrong person. Your alpha stays yours.
Single-tenant on a Mac mini you own. Your books never leave by default, Bastios never trains on your data, and nobody can reach in and switch your box 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 apps, 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: this app is served from your machine, not the web.
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.
Apps 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 apps you bolt on around it: one, two, or all of them. New apps 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.
Your business already runs on software you built or bought: the pricing model, the ops database, the app only your team understands. Bastios connects to it.
Bastios writes the connection instructions for your specific tool; your own developer (or your own coding AI) does the hookup, typically the same day. No Bastios engineers in your codebase, ever.
An outside tool is treated as untrusted, no matter who built it. Bastios governs every byte at the box: confidential identities are disguised before anything leaves, regulated identifiers never leave at all, every exchange is logged, and you approve what any tool may receive.
Bastios can put your tool's logic to work mid-task, and your app can put Bastios to work behind it, as the governed AI brain your software calls on. Built on open standards (MCP).
Gold includes one custom connector, Platinum two, Enterprise three or more: one-time work that stays yours. The standard connector catalog still ships with every box.
Rolling out now: the first pairings are underway.
Every package ships with the Executive Assistant core. You choose how many apps 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 box, your data, and everything you bought stay yours.
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 real action queued for a human.
Choose Starter, Gold, or Platinum, then the business apps 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. Below is 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 always wait for a person: it's built in, not a checkbox in a settings page. They can't be quietly switched off or 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. And when something can't be done, Bastios says so: it never papers over a gap.
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.
