No subscription for the Partner or Managing Partner models. You purchase the machine outright. It operates independently on hardware that lives in your office.

The Associate model is cloud-connected and uses your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). In that case, you are responsible for whatever API usage costs your provider charges. There are no required Vayren subscription fees.

Yes! We offer both software (optional) and hardware upgrades (through trade-ins) so that your systems never fall behind.

ChatGPT is a powerful browser interface. Vayren is a dedicated machine. The difference is structural.

With ChatGPT: Your data routes to external servers. Access depends on an account. Policies can change outside your control.

With the Partner models: The system can operate fully offline. No external routing is required. Sensitive work never leaves the hardware you physically control. This is not about convenience. It is about ownership, containment, and architectural control.

An agent is not just a chatbot. It can follow multi-step instructions, maintain context across sessions, execute repeatable workflows, and apply consistent tone and structure.

It behaves like a persistent digital operator. You can assign tasks like "Draft this agreement based on our prior template and summarize risks" or "Compare these two contracts and flag differences."

Every Vayren machine is hardened before delivery using a defense-in-depth checklist: Full-disk encryption enabled, macOS firewall configured, Gateway access restricted to local binding, security audit, and tool execution sandboxed.

Security is shared responsibility. After installation, your organization controls physical access and password hygiene.

No. The system runs through a simple browser interface. If you can use Google, you can use Vayren. We install it. We confirm it works. We verify access. You operate it like an internal tool.

You provide: A monitor (HDMI), a keyboard, a mouse, and a power outlet. We provide the machine and complete configuration.

Yes, on the Partner, Managing Partner and Founding Partner models. Those models can create a local document index so the system can reference your files when generating responses. The documents remain local to the machine.

Software (model) updates: New local models can be installed and validated during a scheduled update session. This does not require replacing the machine.

Hardware upgrades: If you want faster performance or to run larger models, you may move to a higher-spec configuration. We publish upgrade tiers so expectations are clear.

Each model includes a defined remote support period: Associate (1 month), Partner (3 months), Managing Partner (6 months), and Founding Partner (1 year). After that period, extended support can be arranged.

That’s normal. We can provide a high-level architectural overview covering local operation, encryption, gateway configuration, and tool sandboxing. We coordinate with internal IT during installation if required.

Reservation to deployment is typically 14 days for Partner and Managing Partner units. Associate and Founding Partner may require up to 4 weeks. On-site installation typically takes around 2 hours.

Credit cards by default. Bank transfers and other payment methods are also available. Multi-unit pricing available for firms deploying more than one machine.

We currently deploy in person across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. If you are outside the region, you may request allocation and we will discuss delivery options.
