An AI app that needs hosting
A home for the app, database and background work, with the accounts and running costs made clear.
AI apps.
A proper home.
I help businesses host AI apps, build private staff assistants and look after what keeps them running.
Start with a free 15-minute call with me, Garreth.
What do you need
looked after?
A new idea, a useful prototype or an app that needs a better setup. We can start where you are.
An assistant for your staff
Help people find answers in approved documents, with access rules and source checks agreed from the start.
Something already running
Review the setup, sort out what needs attention and agree who looks after it from here.
The app is only
part of the job.
I’m Garreth. Once an AI tool is useful, someone needs to look after the updates, access, backups and bills around it.
I’ll work through what you have, explain the options and put the responsibilities in writing. You’ll know what I manage and what stays with you.
What ongoing care coversFrom question
to answer.
Here’s how a document assistant can work. Your people ask through the app. It finds the right sources, then passes the agreed request to the model.
You ask a question.
Named users sign in and ask through your app.
The app finds the sources.
It finds permitted passages in your approved documents.
The model drafts an answer.
The chosen model receives the agreed request and returns a response.
The answer comes back through the app, with sources for the person to check.
What we agree before it goes live
Who can use it
Who signs in, their role and what they are allowed to search. The pilot checks permitted and restricted requests.
What information it uses
Where originals and indexes are stored, how sources are updated or removed, and which text may be sent to a model.
Which provider it uses
The model, supplier account, processing route, terms and usage controls. A dedicated open-weight model is a separately scoped option.
I look after what keeps it running.
Monitoring, updates, backups, usage review and the human support route are agreed around the setup.
Need the AI processing
to happen in London?
We can assess a London route for the model calls behind your app. That means checking the whole setup, not just changing an API address.

The model, documents, search, storage and access all need a clear route. We agree the scope and tests before making a production change.
How we approach data and accessOne useful
next step.
Bring the idea or show me what’s running. You don’t need a technical brief to start the conversation.
How the work runsTalk through the job.
Who will use it, what should it help with and what needs attention?
Agree the work and cost.
Any review, pilot, build or migration is scoped and priced before it starts.
Check it before launch.
We test the agreed behaviour, document the setup and decide how it will be looked after.
Clear setup.
Clear running costs.
The proposal separates project work, supplier usage and ongoing care. You can see what you’re paying for before committing.
What goes into the quote- The initial work
- The review, pilot, build or migration we agree.
- Hosting and model use
- The actual services, accounts and usage costs.
- Looking after it
- The checks, maintenance and support in the written scope.
A few sensible
questions.
More about data and accessWhat do you mean by managed AI hosting?
The application needs hosting, but it also has model connections, information, access rules and continuing work to look after. We agree which of those I manage, which suppliers are involved and what remains your responsibility.
Can you host a tool someone else built?
I can review it first. We check the code, ownership, accounts, data and model connections, then identify anything that needs attention before taking it on. The review and any separate repair or migration work are scoped and quoted.
How much does it cost?
The setup and continuing service are quoted for your app and workload after a free call. Hosting, storage, model usage and any extra supplier charges are identified separately. No VAT is currently charged. There is no fixed hosting package sold on this site.
Can you route Claude API calls through London?
Yes, that is a service I can scope for your application using AWS Bedrock In-Region in eu-west-2. We check eligible models, account access, the gateway and the rest of the data route, then test it before production use. This site does not currently issue self-service API keys.
Does London hosting make the app GDPR compliant?
Location is one part of the arrangement. We also need the processing agreement, supplier and access details, lawful handling, security, retention and any applicable transfer safeguards. We document the proposed route for review; I do not promise that a London endpoint makes every use compliant.
Will all the data stay in the UK?
That needs checking for the whole arrangement, including model processing, document storage, indexing, logs, backups and support access. We write down the proposed services and routing. A UK business, server location or domain does not by itself establish UK-only processing.
Let’s look at
your setup.
Tell me what you want the app to do, or what needs attention. We can work out the next step together.
