Do I have to buy a Mac Mini?
No. Only the top tier, the always-on AI workstation, uses a dedicated Mac Mini. The first two tiers run on a normal Claude subscription on the computers you already have. The Mac Mini is for businesses that want something running around the clock, doing overnight jobs and having a summary ready in the morning.
Is my data safe, and where does it live?
Your data stays in your tools and, on the always-on workstation, on hardware you own and keep in your office. The AI only reaches what you connect it to, and approval gates mean it asks before it does anything that sends, spends, or signs. You are never handing your business over to a black box.
Will it email people without me knowing?
No. Approval gates are on by default. The AI can draft a reply, prep a post, or stage a report, but you approve anything that gets sent, anything involving money, and anything legal before it goes out. It works like a sharp assistant who always checks with you first, not one who acts on your behalf behind your back.
What does it cost to run, and whose subscription is it?
The subscription is yours, in your name, paid directly to Anthropic, usually around $20 to $30 per user per month. You own it, you can cancel it, and you are never renting access through me. The always-on tier also has a monthly care fee and the one-time cost of the Mac Mini, which you also own.
What if one of my tools changes?
Tools update, and connections occasionally break. That is exactly what the optional monthly care covers: keeping the integrations working, fixing them when a tool changes, and adjusting the workflows as your business changes. If you are not on a care plan, I can fix it as a one-off.
