Examples
Who needs this first around Greenville.
These aren't a limit. They're the businesses whose rules rule out public AI tools.
Manufacturing & automotive suppliers
Suppliers with customer contracts that restrict where drawings and specs can be stored. Your engineering knowledge stays on your hardware, and your team can still search it like a person who has worked there for years.
Health care (non-clinical)
Practices around Prisma Health handle scheduling and paperwork under privacy rules. The AI help runs on-site, so patient information stays out of public AI tools entirely.
Professional services & engineering
Engineering firms whose client designs are the business. Search and drafting help that runs on your own machines, with permissions set down to the document.
Construction & trades
Builders whose bid data and client details shouldn't live in a public AI account. Estimating help and document search on your hardware, behind your doors.
How it works
Start. Build. Stay.
Start
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic. We map what data you handle, what your rules and contracts say about where it can go, and where AI help would pay off first, and put a dollar figure on it. The Krastor Blueprint is the written plan that comes out of it: fixed fee, starting at $1,500, and yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
Build
We spec and install the hardware in your building, set up the models and your company knowledge on it, and test it against your real work before your team depends on it. Your data doesn't leave the building at any step.
Stay
We keep it running, check its work, and show you what it saved and what it earned. You own the tools, the data, and the code. No lock-in, no disappearing act.
Rules to know
AI and data rules in South Carolina.
We found no broad AI law or consumer-privacy law for South Carolina private businesses as of September 2026. Federal and industry rules still apply.
Keep sensitive customer data out of public AI tools unless your vendor contract covers it.
This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is on-premise AI as capable as the big cloud tools?
For the work most businesses hand it, yes: drafting, summarizing, answering from your company knowledge, and reporting. The honest trade is that the very largest cloud models are stronger at some open-ended tasks. We will tell you plainly which of your jobs fit on-site and which don't.
What hardware does it take?
Less than most people expect. One capable machine in your building runs the setup for a business your size, and we spec it during the diagnostic from your real workload, so you don't buy capacity you'll never use.
Do you work with businesses in Greenville and the Upstate?
Yes. We serve Greenville and the whole Upstate now, remotely and on site. Our South Carolina rep is based in-state, and our founder is moving to Greenville.
What size business do you work with?
Businesses with roughly 10 to 250 employees. Big enough to have real repeat work worth automating, small enough that the owner or an ops lead can make the call.
How do we start?
With a free 30-minute diagnostic. Book it at cal.com/krastor/intro. We map your operation, name what's actually slowing it down, and send a written assessment whether you hire us or not.
