Workflow focus: local AI for consulting documents

Local AI for consulting engagements

Engagement letters routinely prohibit sharing client data with third parties — including cloud AI vendors. PrivateDocs AI lets consultants chat with the data room, prior deliverables, and interview notes on their own laptop, with cited answers and zero egress.

How it works

The consulting & advisory workflow, on your hardware

Drop the client's data room, working files, and prior deliverables into a local vault — and ask cited questions without breaching the engagement letter.

1

Load the engagement room

Drag the client's data room, prior deliverables, and interview notes into the desktop app. PDFs, Office files, and CSVs are all ingested natively.

2

Index on the consultant's laptop

Files are embedded and stored in a local ChromaDB vault. Nothing is uploaded — the index lives on the engagement team's hardware.

3

Ask cited questions

Synthesize themes across interviews, pull supporting quotes, and pressure-test the deck against the underlying data — with every answer cited.

4

Respect the engagement letter

Because nothing leaves the device, workflows align with clauses prohibiting third-party processing — no per-engagement DPA, no vendor cloud hop.

What you get

Outcomes for consulting & advisory

Synthesize qualitative themes across interviews with cited supporting quotes.
Pressure-test slide narrative against the underlying data room in seconds.
Respect engagement letters that prohibit sharing client data with third parties.
Run core local workflows offline on client sites after setup and activation.
Eliminate per-engagement DPA negotiation — the AI data path never leaves the device.

Local-only by design

Inference, embeddings, and vector search run on the user's machine. No vendor data path to audit.

Cited answers

Every response links back to the exact source paragraph or row, so verification never means re-reading the binder.

Scales with your corpus

Retrieval pulls only the relevant chunks per query — your index can be terabytes, not pages, with no per-token billing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does this violate engagement letters that ban cloud AI?

No. Most engagement letters prohibit sharing client data with third parties, including cloud AI vendors. PrivateDocs AI runs the entire RAG pipeline on the consultant's laptop — no document, prompt, or embedding leaves the device — so workflows align with those clauses by design.

How does citation help consulting deliverables?

Every answer links back to the source passage in the data room, interview note, or prior deliverable. Consultants can pull supporting quotes and verify themes against the underlying files without re-reading the whole binder.

Can it work on client sites with restricted networks?

After setup and activation, core inference and vector search can run offline. Confirm the parsing and update requirements for any restricted network before deployment.

What about sharing the vault with the rest of the engagement team?

Each consultant runs their own local vault on their own machine. There is no shared cloud index to misconfigure — the architecture itself enforces the per-engagement boundary. The vault is an exportable local folder, so it can be moved or archived under the client's data-handling terms.
