Gryndara Fortress OS installs on one PC and puts six specialised AI agents to work on your documents — researching, writing, checking and delivering finished files. Documents stay on that PC. No per-token bills. Ever.
Why local
Small businesses handle contracts, payroll, client files and pricing every day. Pasting that into a chatbot is a compliance question you shouldn't have to answer.
Files are indexed where they sit. The AI engine and the portal only listen on 127.0.0.1. There is no Gryndara cloud for your documents, no telemetry of your content, no training on your files. A license check-in (ids, version, health flags) is how we manage seats and support — not how the AI runs.
Inference runs on hardware you already own. Run a thousand summaries a day — the cost is electricity, not a metered API bill that climbs with every prompt.
Point Gryndara at an inbox folder. Ask for the deliverable. It arrives in your outbox as a finished document, ready to send. Chat is the steering wheel, not the product.
How it works
Ask in plain English. The Orchestrator plans, the specialists execute in sequence, and you get a file — with a Monitor log of what was read and written.
Scanned PDFs (local OCR), messy Excel tables, Word, CSV, Markdown and text are indexed in place — up to 10,000 files per folder, re-scanned automatically.
“Draft a proposal from these notes.” “Compare these quotes.” Use Swarm mode for full runs or Quick mode for a single agent.
Research → Writer → Publisher. The deliverable lands in your outbox folder and the Reports library, with sources cited.
Breaks the request into a plan and delegates.
Pulls facts from your indexed inbox files and cites them.
Produces the draft in your brand voice (editable Skills).
Formats the final file and writes it to the outbox.
Ranks what to do next from the finished deliverable.
Logs what was read, produced and delivered for each run.
What's in the box
Index-in-place, no copying. Add any folder you own; Gryndara refuses drive roots and system folders by design.
Every deliverable, searchable, with preview, download and copy — mirrored to your outbox.
Markdown rule packs (brand voice, output quality, security rules) injected into every agent. Edit them like a doc.
Lite (8 GB RAM), Standard (16 GB), Pro and Coder (32 GB). Setup measures your PC and picks; you can override.
Admin, operator, viewer. scrypt-hashed passwords, hashed session tokens, login lockout. Enforced on every page and API.
Update manifests are Ed25519-signed and packages SHA-256-verified before anything is installed. One click to roll back.
Activate once with your key; the portal verifies a signed license offline and re-checks daily when online, with a 14-day grace period.
Live view of the AI engine, model, hardware, license and support logs — and a clear statement of what is and isn't enforced.
Security
Local-only network binding, scrypt password hashes, hashed session tokens in httpOnly cookies, role checks on every route, signed updates and licenses, verified installer downloads. What we don't do yet — at-rest encryption, sandboxing — we say so, and tell you how to cover it (BitLocker).

Who it's for
Summarise client files, draft engagement letters, reconcile spreadsheets — without uploading client data anywhere.
Contract review, clause extraction, first drafts. Privilege stays intact because the documents never leave the PC.
Proposals, research briefs, client reports in your voice, from your past work.
Quotes from supplier PDFs, SOPs from notes, weekly reports from CSV exports.
FAQ
Gryndara Fortress OS is a self-hosted AI platform for small businesses. It installs on a single Windows PC, runs an open-weight language model locally through Ollama, and coordinates six specialised agents that research, write, review and deliver work from your own documents. Nothing is sent to a cloud AI provider. gryndara.com only handles accounts, licenses and a daily health check-in so we can support the install.
Your documents, prompts and model outputs never leave the PC. The portal and the AI engine both bind to 127.0.0.1. The only outbound connections are a trial or daily license check-in (version, license id, health flags — never file names or content) so Gryndara can manage seats and support, the optional signed-update check, and the one-time download of Ollama and the model.
A Windows 10 or 11 PC with 8 GB of RAM runs the Lite tier (Qwen 3 4B). 16 GB is recommended for the Standard tier (Qwen 3 8B). 32 GB workstations can run the Pro tier (Qwen 3 14B) and the code-tuned Coder tier (Qwen3-Coder 30B). Setup detects your RAM and recommends a tier.
Gryndara is free during the private beta. Paid per-device licenses (Solo and Team) arrive at launch; beta accounts keep a founding discount. There are no per-token or per-request charges because inference runs on your hardware.
ChatGPT and Copilot run on the vendor's servers and see every prompt and file you share. Gryndara runs on your PC, works from folders you choose, produces files in your outbox, and supports multiple users with roles — it is workflow software, not a chat window.
Those are excellent single-user chat apps and runtimes. Gryndara sits on top of Ollama and adds the business layer: watch folders, a six-agent pipeline that produces files, a reports library, user accounts with roles, signed updates and licensing.
Yes. Gryndara has local user accounts with admin, operator and viewer roles. The portal is bound to the host PC; team members use it on that machine or via a secure tunnel your IT sets up. A Team license covers up to five PCs.
For summarising, drafting, extraction and reformatting from your own documents — the bulk of small-business work — the 8B and 14B open models are very capable. For frontier-level reasoning on open-ended problems, cloud models are still ahead. Gryndara is for the 80% of daily work that shouldn't leave your building.
