Hardware not included. We'll advise on what to buy if you don't already have one.

Honesty

What's not included

Hardware

You buy the Mac Studio directly from Apple or your preferred reseller. We'll tell you exactly which spec to get.

Your existing software

Foundry connects to your tools but doesn't replace them. Your email, CRM, case management, and accounting software all stay as they are.

Custom development

If you need a workflow we don't already support, we'll scope it separately. No open-ended "custom AI" billing.

ML engineering training

That's the point. You shouldn't need to be an ML engineer to use this.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription service?

The £99/month is a support and maintenance subscription. The AI itself runs on your hardware with no per-query cost. You can cancel the subscription and Foundry keeps running — you just lose support and updates.

What if I already have a Mac Studio?

Great. If it's an M-series with enough memory (128GB+ for most workloads, 512GB for large workloads), we can likely use it. The Fit Review will confirm.

Can I try before I buy?

The £299 Advisory is effectively a try-before-you-buy. If you proceed to Managed setup within 30 days, the £299 is credited toward setup.

Do you support Windows or Linux hardware?

Not currently. Foundry is built for Apple Silicon. The unified memory architecture is what makes large model inference practical on a desktop computer.

What happens if the Mac Studio breaks?

Foundry stops running until the hardware is fixed or replaced. Your data is preserved on the machine's storage. If you have a support subscription, we'll help you get back up and running. We recommend having a backup of any extracted data.

Can I run multiple workloads at once?

Yes, depending on memory. A 512GB Mac Studio can run document processing, support triage, and knowledge search simultaneously. Code review can run alongside too. The dashboard shows you what's running and how much memory is available.

Is my data really staying local?

Yes. Foundry has a verified no-cloud operating mode. When enabled, there are no outbound network connections during processing. We can show you the network logs. Your IT team can verify it with their own monitoring.
