Manifesto

What we believe

  1. Own your AI like you own your computer.

    You bought the machine. The model runs on it. Nobody can change the terms, raise the price, or switch it off.

  2. Open source is for everyone. We do the hard part.

    The best models and tools are already free. Making them run well, safely, on your own hardware is not. That part is our job.

  3. Nobody makes money off your data. Not vendors, not clouds, not us.

    We collect only what the system needs to run. Nothing about you or your documents leaves the perimeter.

  4. Capable AI should be affordable.

    You should not need a million-dollar contract to run a capable model. Affordable self-hosted AI is the point, not a tier.

  5. A private AI has a perimeter.

    What goes in stays in. That line is drawn in hardware and network, not in a policy PDF.

Our promise

Our promise on data

We collect only what the system needs to run. We never sell, share, or train on your data. If that ever changes, you will read it here first.

Who this is for

Firms whose files cannot leave

Law firms, clinics, and defense contractors whose privileged, patient, or controlled data cannot go near a public model. Keep puts the model in your building.

Meet Keep

Engineers using cloud AI tools

Teams in Claude Code or Codex who want API keys and personal data removed before a prompt leaves the laptop. Mesh runs on each computer.

Meet Mesh

Skilak Keep and Skilak Mesh are designed to fit within a customer's CMMC, HIPAA, ITAR, or other security program. Skilak LLC does not certify or confer compliance.
