What AI Actually Means For Your Business

AI isn't a gimmick and it's not a chatbot on your homepage. When integrated properly, it's a force multiplier — your team does more, your customers get better service, and your costs go down. Here's what that looks like in practice.

10x
Faster Workflows

Tasks that took hours — drafting content, analyzing data, routing support tickets — happen in seconds. AI doesn't replace your team, it removes the bottlenecks that slow them down.

60%
Cost Reduction

Automate repetitive processes that currently require manual labor. One AI integration can replace thousands of dollars in monthly outsourcing, data entry, or customer support overhead.

24/7
Always Available

AI doesn't take breaks, call in sick, or forget instructions. Your customers get instant, intelligent responses at 3am on a Sunday just like they would at noon on a Tuesday.

0
Data Shared With Big Tech

Unlike ChatGPT plugins or cloud AI services, locally-hosted models like Ollama keep your data on your servers. Sensitive business information never leaves your infrastructure.

The Difference: Integrated vs. Bolted-On

❌ What most companies do

Slap a ChatGPT widget on the homepage, call it “AI-powered,” and send all their customer data to OpenAI's servers. The AI knows nothing about their business, gives generic answers, and costs a fortune in API calls because every query hits the most expensive model.

✓ What I build

AI that's trained on your data, runs on your infrastructure, routes to the right model based on task complexity, and actually understands your business context. Simple queries hit fast, cheap local models. Complex ones use Claude or GPT. Your data never leaves servers you control.

// Real-World Use Cases

💬

Customer Support

AI-powered chat that understands your products, handles common questions instantly, and escalates to humans only when necessary — reducing support costs while improving response times.

✍️

Content Generation

Product descriptions, email campaigns, blog posts, social media — AI drafts content in your brand voice, your team reviews and publishes. What took a writer a day takes minutes.

📊

Data Analysis

Upload spreadsheets, databases, or reports and get instant insights. AI identifies trends, anomalies, and opportunities that would take a human analyst hours to find.

🧠

Internal Knowledge Base

Train AI on your company docs, SOPs, and policies. New employees get instant answers. Experienced staff find information in seconds instead of digging through folders.

⚙️

Workflow Automation

AI reads incoming emails, categorizes support tickets, generates invoices, fills forms, and triggers actions — removing manual steps from processes your team repeats daily.

🔍

Smart Search

Replace basic keyword search with AI that understands intent. Users describe what they need in plain language and get exactly the right results from your products, docs, or inventory.

More Coming Soon

In Progress

New projects in the pipeline exploring AI-integrated tools, automation, and creative applications. Stay tuned.

Self-Hosted. Self-Owned.

No big tech dependencies. I run my own infrastructure across multiple servers — DNS, email, version control, project management, monitoring, container registry, and AI — all under my own domains. Every byte of data stays on hardware I control.

DNS & Mail Servers

Two Mail-in-a-Box instances providing authoritative DNS, email, and web hosting — fully redundant across separate servers.

box.maiale.netmail.box2.maiale.net

GitLab & Container Registry

Self-hosted GitLab instance for version control, CI/CD pipelines, code review, and a private Docker container registry for image storage and deployment.

gitlab.maiale.comregistry.gitlab.maiale.com

Jira & Bug Tracking

Project management, issue tracking, and dedicated bug tracking for development workflows — all running on private infrastructure.

jira.maiale.combugs.maiale.com

Application Servers

Multi-server architecture hosting AI-integrated platforms, e-commerce, insurance, and web applications — Next.js, FastAPI, and local Ollama models across dedicated VPS instances.

queme.usnewportarmory.comdminsure.orgmaiale.compets.maiale.com

Monitoring & Observability

Real-time server metrics, performance dashboards, and uptime monitoring across all services — complete visibility into every process, request, and resource.

grafana.maiale.comnetdata.maiale.comkuma.maiale.com

Server Management

Web-based server administration with Cockpit for system health, storage, networking, and service management across the entire fleet.

cockpit.maiale.com

SSL & Security

Wildcard certificates via Let's Encrypt with automated DNS validation through the Mail-in-a-Box API. Full HTTPS everywhere.

*.maiale.com*.maiale.net

API Infrastructure

Dedicated API servers powering multiple applications — REST endpoints, SSE streaming, multi-model AI routing, and e-commerce backends.

api.newportarmory.comqueme-api.maiale.com

Domain Portfolio

Multiple domains managed through self-hosted DNS — complete ownership from nameservers to application layer.

Why Self-Host Everything?

Zero Third-Party Data Access

No Google scanning your emails. No Microsoft reading your repos. No Atlassian Cloud harvesting your project data. When you own the server, nobody else gets access — period.

Complete Data Sovereignty

Every email, every commit, every issue ticket, every AI conversation lives on hardware I physically control. No terms of service changes can suddenly expose private data or revoke access.

No Surveillance, No Profiling

Big tech platforms monetize user data through ads and profiling. Self-hosted services have one customer: me. There's no incentive to track, analyze, or sell anything.

Immune to Platform Risk

Accounts get locked. Services get discontinued. Prices get raised. When you own the stack, you're never one policy change away from losing everything.

End-to-End Encryption on My Terms

TLS certificates I manage, mail encryption I configure, DNS records I control. The entire chain of trust runs through infrastructure I operate — not someone else's cloud.

Auditability & Transparency

I can inspect every log, trace every connection, and verify every process running on my servers. Try doing that on a SaaS platform.

What I Work With

AI Integration

Claude, GPT, Groq, Ollama — weaving language models into applications as a core layer, not an afterthought.

The Developer

I'm an independent developer who believes in owning the entire stack. From authoritative DNS and mail servers to version control, project management, and AI-integrated applications — everything runs on infrastructure I manage.

My work combines AI integration, full-stack development, and systems administration into a cohesive, self-sovereign platform. AI isn't the product — it's woven into the product.
