Private AI, at work

Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs

Physical AI lab coordinator and private compute fabric

Digital Twin Pro is a private AI appliance for Robotics Teams, Makerspaces & Labs — fully assembled, with no display, keyboard, or mouse. Pair it with your phone, give your agent a name, and your private AI goes to work for you.

Private AI + frontier AI

Everyday work runs privately on hardware you own — no subscription, even offline. When you want the most capable models, your assistant can call Claude, GPT, or Gemini through your own account.

Kept at the cutting edge

AI moves fast. Covered fixes keep the supported software version stable, and a one-time Software Refresh is available whenever you want the latest image. You own it outright and stay in control — all hardware and software required to use it is included.

A supercomputer on call

For approved large jobs, Private Large-Job Processing is available as a one-time service — finished results return to your appliance.

NVIDIA hardware on your desk

Lab notebooks and datasheets that answer back

Test logs, datasheets, build notes, and project documentation — indexed on the same class of NVIDIA hardware you prototype on. Ask which runs failed the same way, where the datasheet contradicts observed behavior, and what the last team already tried. Institutional knowledge that survives graduation.

Getting it loaded is a one-time service: with Life Upload, your approved archive is prepared and imported privately — and from then on, asking is instant. For truly heavy jobs, approved one-time large-job processing is available, and Digital Twin Pro Spark brings 128GB of unified memory when the work outgrows the desk unit.

A day with your private AI

As you start your day in the lab, your assistant pulls real-time sensor data from your robotics workshop and drafts insightful summaries that guide your decisions. By midday, you review these reports while your assistant schedules maintenance checks for all machines, ensuring smooth operation. As evening approaches runs smoothly. As evening approaches and you conclude today’s work, your assistant is already preparing tomorrow's research notes based on the day’s experiments. This automation with Digital Twin Pro keeps your R&D data secure within your facility, adhering to a 'local by default' approach that minimizes exposure to public clouds. With strong privacy and control over critical innovations, you can focus entirely on advancing technology without concerns about external threats or unpredictable costs.

Common questions

Straight answers about privacy, cost, and what to expect. One-time support services are available whenever you need them — see services.

Can students use it without creating accounts or sending data off-network?

Processing is local by default; data leaves only through routes you explicitly enable, like an external provider or a care/backup mode. Your data stays on the appliance; you can copy backups to your own drive whenever you like, and a one-time service can set that up with you.

There are no required ongoing fees — optional one-time services (setup help, Software Refresh, Life Upload) are available whenever you want them.

The appliance costs $1,699 upfront. Covered fixes keep the supported software version stable, and a one-time Software Refresh brings you the latest image whenever you choose. This is a straightforward cost, unlike some cloud AI services that charge $20-$40 per month per user, often with hidden fees.

How long from unboxing to the first lab query — and who has to be involved?

Simply plug in the power and Ethernet cables, then pair the appliance with the companion app on your phone. The setup process takes about ten minutes and requires no assembly or technical configuration.

Can Digital Twin Pro perform real-time video processing or control physical robots directly?

Digital Twin Pro can't process videos in real-time or control robots on its own. It's designed for text-based tasks and runs your assistant language model locally. To work with videos or robots, you'll need to add external devices and write custom code to connect them.

How can I use Digital Twin Pro to help students prototype AI-driven robot behaviors in a makerspace?

Students can interact with your assistant to generate behavior scripts, test decision‑logic, and simulate sensor inputs via text prompts. The generated code can then be deployed on their robot hardware using standard APIs or libraries they already use.

What kind of support is available if the appliance encounters a software issue during a lab session?

Backups stay in your hands: export to a USB drive or NAS from the dashboard whenever you like. Without it, you can reboot and restore from a backup on your own, and email support is available to help troubleshoot.

One easy decision

$1,699 — once. About $1.55 a day over three years. 30-day home trial, 1-year warranty, real-person setup included.
