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 cities and municipalities

Residents ask AI how their city works. Is it answering correctly?

Trash pickup, permit rules, utility payments, election dates. Residents ask an assistant instead of calling city hall, and when the answer is last year's schedule or the wrong office hours, your phone lines pay for it and public trust erodes one wrong answer at a time. With the sovereign option, all of it runs on infrastructure the city owns.

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

Wrong civic information

Outdated permit rules and service schedules in AI answers drive call volume and complaints straight to your staff.

Public trust

Residents treat the AI answer as official. When it's wrong, the city wears it, not the model.

Data sovereignty

Government data belongs on government-owned hardware. The sovereign option keeps it there and meets procurement requirements.

Questions cities and municipalities ask

What do AI assistants say about cities and municipalities 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 this run on hardware we own, so our data stays in-house?: Yes — that is the sovereign option, and for cities and municipalities it is usually the right one. TechFides installs NxtSeed on infrastructure you own, so the dashboard and correction work stay inside your walls and only the public-model queries needed to check the answers leave your network. A DPA is available on request.
