Self-Hosted AI Assistant
Your AI. Your hardware. Your data.
Run a private AI assistant 24/7 on dedicated hardware in your home. No cloud dependency, no subscriptions, no data leaving your network.
Why Self-Host Your AI?
Complete Data Privacy
Your conversations, browsing history, and personal data never leave your home network. No third-party servers, no data mining, no surprises in a terms of service update.
No Monthly Fees
Cloud AI services cost $30–50/month. A self-hosted setup costs about €3/month in electricity. Pay once for the hardware, run it forever.
Always Available
No rate limits, no API outages, no "service temporarily unavailable." Your AI runs on your hardware, on your schedule, 24/7/365.
Full Control
Choose your AI models, customize behavior, connect any service. No vendor lock-in, no feature gates, no "upgrade to pro" walls.
The Self-Hosting Dilemma
Most people who want to self-host AI hit the same wall: the hardware is either too weak, too expensive, too noisy, or too complicated to set up.
| Approach | Cost | Privacy | Setup | 24/7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud VPS | $30–50/mo | Low | Medium | Yes |
| Old Laptop | $0 (reuse) | High | Hard | Unreliable |
| Raspberry Pi | ~$100 | High | Hard | Yes |
| Mini PC | $300–600 | High | Hard | Yes |
| ClawBox | €399 once | High | Easy | Yes |

Self-Hosted AI FAQ
Can I run AI without the cloud?
Yes. ClawBox runs OpenClaw entirely on local hardware. You can use cloud AI APIs (like Claude or GPT) for the language model, or run smaller models locally on the Jetson's GPU. Either way, your data stays on your device.
Is self-hosted AI as good as ChatGPT?
For conversations, cloud models are still more capable. But a self-hosted AI assistant does things ChatGPT can't: browse the web for you, control your smart home, manage your messages across platforms, and run 24/7 without you being logged in.
How much does it cost to run a self-hosted AI?
ClawBox draws 15 watts — about €3/month in electricity. Compare that to $30–50/month for a cloud VPS. The hardware costs €399 once, so it pays for itself in under a year.
Do I need technical skills to set up self-hosted AI?
With ClawBox, no. It comes pre-configured with Ubuntu, OpenClaw, browser automation, and voice pipeline. Plug it in, connect to WiFi, link your Telegram — done in 5 minutes.
