# InternalAI > InternalAI installs and manages private, self-hosted AI assistants for medical, legal and other confidential practices in Melbourne, Australia. The assistant runs on a server inside the practice, or on a dedicated (unshared) server in an Australian data centre, so patient and client information stays under the practice's control and is never used to train AI models. Key facts: - Provider: InternalAI by Inhouse AI (ABN 54 837 123 965), Melbourne CBD, Victoria, Australia. - Who it is for: GP clinics, specialist rooms, allied health, law firms (boutique, family, commercial, criminal, estates), accountants, financial advisers, engineers, architects, HR and recruitment. - What it is: a ChatGPT-style assistant used in a browser, running an open-weight model (Llama, Qwen or Mistral families) with private search over the practice's own files, respecting existing access permissions. - Where data goes: nowhere outside the practice's own server. No data leaves Australia. Nothing is used for model training. An optional encrypted support link carries no patient or client content. - Hardware: supplied by InternalAI. One quiet, desktop-sized server with an NVIDIA GPU and encrypted storage, or a dedicated server hosted in Australia. - Timeline: typically live in three to six weeks. - Getting started: a free privacy and AI assessment by email enquiry, answered in writing with a recommendation. No phone calls or video meetings. - Contact: hello@internalai.com.au, Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 5.30 pm (Melbourne time). - Limits: outputs are drafts for a qualified person to check; it does not give clinical or legal advice. It does not on its own make a practice compliant, and InternalAI claims no third-party certifications. Frontier cloud models still lead on the hardest reasoning tasks. ## Docs - [What is private AI?](https://internalai.com.au/#private-ai): Definition, deployment options, practical uses and limits. - [Practical guides](https://internalai.com.au/#guides): Privacy, legal confidentiality and staff policy, with a link to OAIC guidance. - [简体中文 (Simplified Chinese home page)](https://internalai.com.au/zh): The home page in Simplified Chinese. - [Full site content](https://internalai.com.au/llms-full.txt): Complete text of the site in Markdown, including the comparison table, hardware details, process and FAQ. - [How it works](https://internalai.com.au/#how-it-runs): Architecture, hardware and what stays inside the practice boundary. - [Comparison](https://internalai.com.au/#compare): Public AI tools vs enterprise cloud AI vs InternalAI. - [Practices](https://internalai.com.au/#practices): Use cases and obligations for doctors, lawyers and other professions. - [FAQ](https://internalai.com.au/#faq): Quality vs ChatGPT, hardware, support, integrations, privacy and compliance. - [Request an assessment](https://internalai.com.au/#contact): Free privacy and AI assessment by email enquiry. ## Articles - [All articles](https://internalai.com.au/blog) ([RSS](https://internalai.com.au/feed.xml)) - [A one-page AI policy for small practices](https://internalai.com.au/blog/one-page-ai-policy-for-small-practices): What to include, what to leave out, and a template to copy. - [Shadow AI in professional practices](https://internalai.com.au/blog/shadow-ai-in-professional-practices): Where pasted client files go and what to do instead of a ban. - [The Privacy Act and AI tools](https://internalai.com.au/blog/privacy-act-and-ai-tools): APPs that matter for AI, OAIC guidance, 2024 reforms. - [Confidentiality, privilege and AI for law firms](https://internalai.com.au/blog/legal-privilege-and-ai-for-law-firms): Regulator and court guidance for Victorian lawyers. - [What a private AI server is](https://internalai.com.au/blog/what-is-a-private-ai-server): Hardware, open-weight models, private file search, honest limits. - [AI scribes in general practice](https://internalai.com.au/blog/ai-scribes-in-general-practice): Consent, data location, accuracy and TGA questions for GP clinics. ## Optional - [Privacy policy](https://internalai.com.au/privacy): How InternalAI handles personal information from enquiries and clients. - [Shadow AI risk](https://internalai.com.au/#problem): Why staff pasting confidential data into free chatbots is a privacy risk for Australian practices. - [Where the document goes](https://internalai.com.au/#proof): Interactive data-flow comparison. - [Time estimate](https://internalai.com.au/#estimate): Calculator for staff hours saved per week.
