Local AI for consultants and agencies — client data stays private
- Every client's confidential data stays on your Mac. It never gets sent to a cloud AI vendor.
- NDA-safe by design. No third-party AI service touches the data, so there's nothing to disclose and nobody to ask permission from.
- One flat price covers every client you take on. No per-token billing.
- Runs offline. Open weights. Zero inference telemetry.
Consultants and agencies sit on confidential data from a dozen clients at once, most of it under NDAs that forbid handing it to third parties. Cloud AI is a third party. Local AI isn't. Outlier runs on your Mac, so each client's data stays on your machine and never reaches an outside AI vendor.
The NDA problem with cloud AI
Read your client NDAs. Almost all of them block you from disclosing confidential information to third parties without consent, and a cloud AI API is a third party. Drop a client's strategy doc or internal materials into a cloud chatbot and you've technically made a disclosure, the kind most engagement letters never accounted for.
Going back to every client for AI-vendor consent is slow, and plenty of them will just say no. So consultants quietly skip AI on exactly the work where it'd help most.
How local AI keeps you NDA-safe
Run the model on your own Mac and the third party disappears. The client's data gets processed and stored locally, the same as opening their files in a text editor. Nothing leaves the machine, so there's nothing to disclose. Outlier works offline once it's set up, and it runs no telemetry on what you feed it.
What it does across engagements
- Draft decks, memos, proposals, and client-ready narrative
- Boil down interviews, research, and long documents
- Make sense of messy client data and give it structure
- Read scanned materials with the Vision model
- A coding agent for whatever you need built or automated
Pricing that fits agency economics
Pricing is flat. $20/month, $149/year, or $99 lifetime (Founding 200). Take on as many clients as you want and the bill never climbs with each new engagement. Core 27B (24 GB+ Mac) covers most consulting work, and Plus 397B (64 GB+) takes the heaviest analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Does using AI on client data break my NDA?
With a cloud AI tool, it can — you're disclosing to a third party. With local AI, there is no third party: the data stays on your Mac, so there's nothing to disclose. Always confirm against the specific NDA's wording.
Can I use one license across many clients?
Yes. Pricing is flat per person, not per client or per token, so a single Pro seat covers unlimited client engagements on your Mac.
What if a client asks how their data is handled?
You can tell them it never leaves your device: the AI runs locally on your Mac with no cloud transmission and no telemetry, and the model weights are open for audit. That's often a stronger answer than any cloud vendor can give.
