Same content, same canonical URL." --- [All products](https://royalsoftworks.com/#products) Private AI automation — offline, on your own computers # Automate your business. Keep it offline. AssistantGeneral is an AI worker for your business. It reads your documents, answers from them, builds the spreadsheets and reports you ask for, and repeats the jobs you do every week — on its own. All of it runs on computers you own, with the internet unplugged if you like. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing trains anyone else's AI. [Ask to join the beta](https://royalsoftworks.com/contact/?product=assistant-general&tier=beta) [See what it can do](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/how-it-works/) [In private beta — see what changed in each build](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/changelog/) A question enters a sealed machine on your computer; the agent works inside; a finished document comes out the other side. Why it's different ## Until now, you had to pick one. Cloud AI comes with an admin console, company sign-in and an audit trail — but every document you hand it is processed by a company you have never met. Local AI apps keep your files on your own computer, and many are free — but everyone runs their own copy, and nobody can set the rules for the office. AssistantGeneral is the missing corner: private like an app on your own computer, governed like a company tool. [See it beside 28 other AI tools, including where they are ahead](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/compare/) Chart: cloud AI is governed but your data goes to them; local AI apps are private but everyone is on their own; AssistantGeneral is both private and governed.
