Does TechFides AI run in the cloud?

No. TechFides installs private AI on hardware inside your building. Your data never leaves your network, nothing touches the cloud.

Do I own the hardware?

Yes. TechFides sizes, builds, and installs the system, and the hardware is yours to keep. You can cancel with 30 days' notice and keep the machine.

How much does TechFides cost?

Flat monthly pricing with a one-time setup: Sovereign S ($5,000 setup, then $500/month), Sovereign M ($10,000 setup, then $1,000/month), and Sovereign L ($15,000+ setup, then $2,500/month). No usage meters.

What industries does TechFides serve?

Private AI deployments tuned for legal, medical, auto dealerships, and trades, plus enterprise, government, nonprofits, and universities.

Is TechFides HIPAA-ready?

Yes. Because the AI runs on-premise and your data stays in the building, deployments are HIPAA-ready and fully audit-logged.

How fast can TechFides go live?

Most deployments are live in about a week, after the free 2 minute AI Ownership Test points to the right tier and a short call sizes the hardware to your workload.

Who is behind TechFides?

TechFides was built by operators with 25 years of enterprise IT experience across 15 countries. Honeywell, Invensys, and Schneider Electric, led by founder and CEO Jacques M. Jean.

For manufacturers

Procurement asks AI for suppliers. Are you on the shortlist?

B2B buying starts with an AI shortlist now. Engineers and procurement teams ask which suppliers can hold a tolerance, meet a certification, or deliver in-region, and the models answer from directories, spec sheets, and trade content. If the assistant doesn't know your capabilities, you're not losing the deal. You're not even in it.

Yours arrives in about 15 seconds: your grade, where each assistant places you, what they get wrong, and who they name instead.

Invisible capabilities

The models don't know your certifications, capacity, or tolerances unless the public record says so, clearly and citably.

Left off the shortlist

"Suppliers of X near Y" is the new starting point for an RFQ. Absent from the answer means eliminated before the first email.

IP-sensitive intelligence

With the sovereign option, competitive and capability analysis stays on hardware you own.

Questions manufacturers ask

What do AI assistants say about manufacturers like mine?: It varies by business, which is the point of the scan. NxtSeed queries ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity directly and shows you exactly how each one describes you — your hours, services, and location — and which competitor it names when someone asks for a business like yours.
Is the scan really free?: Yes. The scan takes about 15 seconds, needs no sign-up, and returns a real report: a letter grade, where each assistant places you, and what they get wrong. There is no obligation to buy anything.
How does NxtSeed fix what the AI says?: When an assistant has something wrong, TechFides people correct the public record it was built from — your listings, profiles, and the sources the models read. The corrections are done by our team, not by a bot, and we scope the work to what your report actually needs.
Can NxtSeed run on hardware we own?: Yes. With the sovereign option, TechFides installs NxtSeed on hardware you own, so the analysis runs on your infrastructure and your data never leaves the building.
