Builds PineCompute's local AI, retrieval systems, and product experiences around a simple principle: your intelligence should stay on your hardware.
Privacy-first · Built in New Jersey
Privacy.
That’s Pine.
The smartest AI never leaves the building. Core, Health and Project run entirely on your own hardware. Everything else we make follows the same rule: keep it close, collect less, never sell it.

Principles
Why local AI matters.
The principles behind our business AI: Core, Health and Project.
01
True data sovereignty
Your sensitive documents, business data and financial records never leave your physical control. They aren't stored in someone else's cloud. They're truly yours.
02
Compliance by architecture
HIPAA, attorney-client privilege and financial privacy are protected by design, with no audit nightmares and no breach notifications.
03
No subscription trap
Pay once for deployment and own it forever. No per-query fees and no surprise API bills. Your hardware, your costs, your control.
04
Institutional knowledge
Every query improves your company brain. Capture decades of expertise in a system that gets smarter with your specific use case.
05
Offline-first design
Internet outage? No problem. Your AI assistant works whether you're connected or not, so critical workflows never depend on external uptime.
06
Open source foundation
Built on open-source models and software. No vendor lock-in and full transparency. Inspect every line of code.
The founding team
Private AI needs more than a model.
It needs useful products and infrastructure that teams can actually deploy, secure and support. PineCompute brings those disciplines together under one roof.
Meet Kyle and DavidDavid Rainear Jr.
Co-Founder, Infrastructure
David is the infrastructure half of the team. He makes local software practical to deploy, easy to support, and much less mysterious when something breaks.
