How it works

Plug in once. The setup runs itself.

Each drive is prepared for the PC approved in your order. Insert it, choose the USB drive from the one-time boot menu, and confirm the target disk. From there, provisioning is automatic.

  1. 01

    We prepare the drive

    Before shipment, we match the local AI software and model bundle to the PC and intended work approved in your order.

    Prepared for your machine

  2. 02

    Insert and boot

    Plug the drive into the approved PC, open its one-time boot menu, select the USB drive, and confirm the intended internal disk.

    One boot-menu selection

  3. 03

    Setup runs automatically

    The installer detects supported hardware, prepares the selected disk, installs the local AI software and interface, and copies the matched models.

    No command-line work

  4. 04

    Remove and use

    When setup confirms completion, remove the USB and restart. The PC now runs local AI from its own storage, accessible through a browser on your local network.

    Your PC becomes the AI host

Want to scan it first? You can.

Connect the USB without booting from it and scan its readable files with your preferred antivirus or security tool. Scanning the drive does not start the installation.

PC compatibility check

What can your PC run well?

Tell us what is inside your PC. We will give you a cautious first estimate of which local open models it can run and whether an AI Boot Drive is the right choice.

Your first estimate

A good candidate for an AI Boot Drive.

This hardware has a practical starting envelope for a dedicated local AI system. We would verify the exact PC, network adapter, firmware, and model bundle before preparing the drive.

The selected number of users is reasonable for a first setup.

Open models in range

This check estimates suitable models from memory and storage only. Processor generation, graphics support, firmware, cooling, network, model size, context length, and the intended work all affect actual performance.

What we prepare

Not a generic operating-system stick.

The value is the fit between your device and the complete local AI stack. The exact image and model bundle are selected only after the host has passed compatibility review.

Matched model bundle

Quantized open-weight models selected for the available memory, workload, and language needs.

Local AI software and interface

The local AI software and browser workspace are configured to work together.

Hardware-aware setup

Installation settings prepared around the supported processor, graphics, storage, and network hardware.

Verified release

A versioned image with recorded components, integrity checks, and a clear recovery path.

Designed for a dedicated computer

Installation changes the target machine and may erase its selected internal disk. Back up the PC first. We confirm the supported installation path and target storage before an AI Boot Drive is prepared.

Straight answers

What to know before you boot.

What is a SelbsAI AI Boot Drive?

It is a €149 net USB installer prepared for one verified x86-64 PC. It installs the local AI software, browser interface, and selected open models on that PC’s internal storage.

Will it work with any PC?

No. The automated installation requires a compatible x86-64 PC with at least 16 GB RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. We review the exact model, firmware, storage, network hardware, and intended use before preparing the drive.

Does the installation erase my data?

A full-disk installation can erase the selected internal drive. Use a dedicated machine or make a verified backup first. You confirm the target disk before the automatic installation begins.

Does local AI keep working without the cloud?

The AI models and local browser interface run on your PC without a permanent cloud connection. Payment, support, updates, and optional online services remain separate.

Use the hardware you have

Start with the machine, not a guess.

Run the quick check, then send us the exact model number for a compatibility review and an appropriate local model recommendation.
