Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common things people ask about ClawBox.
A ClawBox is a dedicated computer — a Mac Mini — configured as your personal AI system. It runs in your home or office, keeps your data private, and is set up specifically around your work. It's not a subscription to someone else's server. It's yours.
ChatGPT is a general tool that starts fresh every time and runs entirely in the cloud. A ClawBox remembers your context across conversations, runs a local AI model for everyday tasks so your data stays private, and is configured to understand your specific business. It's the difference between renting a generic tool and owning one built for you.
Small business owners and independent professionals who deal with a lot of moving parts — contractors, consultants, planners, anyone juggling clients, bids, schedules, and communications. If you spend time on repetitive coordination work, a ClawBox can handle a lot of it.
Yes. A local open source AI model handles your everyday conversations — those never leave your hardware. When you need more power for complex tasks like research or code generation, ClawBox uses cloud AI deliberately and transparently. You always know what stays local and what doesn't.
Not at all. Every ClawBox is configured by a real person who knows the system inside and out. You don't touch a terminal or write any code. You talk to your AI through Discord — the same way you'd message a colleague.
Setup day takes about two hours. Most of that time is spent customizing your AI personality and learning how to use the system for your specific needs. By the time we are done, your ClawBox is ready to work.
Every ClawBox ships with encrypted backups, emergency remote access, and security hardening configured from day one. Support is available to resolve issues quickly. The system is built to be resilient — it's not fragile.
