What exactly is AISERVA?
expand_more
AISERVA is a bridge portal. It connects your own local AI server, hardware you own and run at home or in your office, to a marketplace of AI apps hosted on aiserva.com. Your AI models run on your hardware; AISERVA is the layer that lets you reach them from anywhere and use them through purpose-built apps like InstaClaim and MarkCheck.
Do I need to set anything up with VYROX to use this?
expand_more
Yes. You need a local AI server to run AISERVA against, either a local AI server supplied by VYROX, ready to plug in and connect, or your own existing hardware set up and customised by VYROX to work with the platform. Talk to Patrick to scope which path fits your setup.
How does my local AI server connect to aiserva.com?
expand_more
Power on your server and plug in a network cable. A lightweight agent on the server dials out to aiserva.com over an encrypted, outbound-only tunnel, there is no port-forwarding, no static IP and no router configuration to do. When the server is on and connected to the internet, it shows as online in your AISERVA dashboard automatically.
Why is usage unlimited, when ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini have message limits?
expand_more
Cloud AI providers meter usage because every request runs on their own servers. With AISERVA, inference runs entirely on your local AI server hardware, so there is no per-token metering and no message rate limit imposed by AISERVA itself, how much you use it is a question of your hardware's capacity, not a usage cap on the software.
Does my data leave my network?
expand_more
No. Every AI app in the marketplace sends its request to your local AI server, and inference happens there. aiserva.com relays the connection between your device and your server, it is not where your documents, receipts, exam scripts or conversations are processed or stored.
What if my local AI server is turned off?
expand_more
AISERVA apps simply show your server as offline and wait, nothing runs, nothing queues to the cloud, and nothing falls back to a third-party AI provider without your explicit choice. Turn the server back on and it reconnects automatically.
What hardware do I need to run a local AI server?
expand_more
Any machine capable of running a local AI model, a dedicated small-form-factor AI server, a workstation with a capable GPU, or a home server rig. AISERVA is designed to work with a range of local AI server setups rather than one specific product; compatibility is confirmed during onboarding.
How do I get started with AISERVA?
expand_more
Talk to Patrick to scope your setup, whether that's a local AI server supplied by VYROX or customising hardware you already have. Once your server is connected, every app in the marketplace is available from your dashboard.
Can I use more than one AI app at a time?
expand_more
Yes. InstaClaim, MarkCheck and every other app in the marketplace share the same connection to your local AI server, so you can run several apps side by side without any of them competing for a separate quota.
Is this the same as SMARTSERVA's AI Exam Marking?
expand_more
No. MarkCheck on AISERVA is a lightweight completeness checker, it confirms every question on a script has been marked, nothing more. SMARTSERVA's AI Exam Marking is a deeper, campus-operations-integrated module that proposes marks and comments per question. The two are separate products for separate audiences.
How much does AISERVA cost to run day to day?
expand_more
There is no per-message or per-token bill once your local AI server is running, that is the whole point of the model. The cost that matters is the one-time or project cost of getting the hardware itself, either a server supplied by VYROX or your own hardware customised for the platform. Talk to Patrick for a quote scoped to your setup.
Is AISERVA harder to use than ChatGPT or Claude?
expand_more
No. Once your server is connected, every app opens from a normal web dashboard, you sign in, pick an app, and use it, the same as any cloud AI tool. The only extra step, versus a cloud subscription, is the one-time setup of your own local AI server.
What happens to my existing subscriptions to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini?
expand_more
Nothing, keep them if they still serve you well for general chat. AISERVA is not exclusive, many people run it alongside a cloud subscription and simply route the workloads that involve sensitive data, or that they use heavily, through their own local AI server instead.
Can multiple people in my company use the same local AI server?
expand_more
Yes. A local AI server can serve multiple staff accounts from your AISERVA dashboard, each with their own login and their own view of the apps, all sharing the same underlying hardware. Capacity depends on your server's specification, this is scoped during onboarding.
How is this different from just running an open-source model myself?
expand_more
You still could, and some people do, but you would need to build and maintain the tunnelling, the dashboard, the per-app interfaces and the update pipeline yourself. AISERVA is that entire layer already built: the secure connection, the marketplace of purpose-built apps, and ongoing support from VYROX, on top of hardware that is either supplied or customised for exactly this purpose.
Does AISERVA work if my internet connection drops?
expand_more
Your local AI server keeps running locally, but the AISERVA dashboard and apps need the encrypted tunnel to reach it, so access from outside your network pauses until the connection is restored. If you are on the same local network as the server, some apps can still be reachable directly, this is configuration-dependent and confirmed during setup.
What happens if the power goes out, or the server is switched off?
expand_more
The apps show your server as offline and wait. Nothing runs, nothing queues to the cloud, and nothing falls back to a third-party AI provider. When power returns and the machine boots, the agent dials out again on its own, there is nothing to reconnect by hand. If uninterrupted availability matters at your site, raise it during onboarding so it can be planned for.
What happens if the hardware itself fails?
expand_more
It is a physical machine, so it is repaired or replaced like any other physical machine. Because AISERVA pairs to the server rather than living on it, a replacement unit is paired to your account and your apps carry on. Cover and turnaround are scoped with VYROX as part of your setup rather than assumed.
Who is AISERVA not a good fit for?
expand_more
Three cases, honestly. If owning and housing a machine is a dealbreaker for you, a cloud subscription is simply a better fit. If you only use AI occasionally, unlimited use will not pay for itself and a monthly plan is cheaper. And if you need something running today, cloud plans win on setup effort, because there is a real scoping and setup step here before the first app opens.
How is AISERVA kept up to date?
expand_more
The platform side is maintained for you. New apps appear in your dashboard as they ship, on the same connection you already have, and your server picks up platform updates without you scheduling anything or logging into the machine. The hardware stays yours throughout, physically in your building.
Do I have to stop using my existing software?
expand_more
No. AISERVA is not exclusive and does not replace the tools you already run. Your accounting, email and document software stay exactly where they are, and the apps work from files you already have rather than requiring a migration project. Most people keep what works and simply move the sensitive or heavy workloads onto their own server.
What does it actually cost to get started?
expand_more
The cost that matters is the one-time or project cost of the hardware itself, either a server supplied by VYROX or your own machine customised for the platform. After that there is no per-seat or per-message charge from AISERVA, and using it more does not cost more. There is deliberately no price list here, because a quote that is not scoped to your setup is not a real number, talk to Patrick for one that is.
What does the setup process involve, step by step?
expand_more
A scoping conversation about which apps matter and how many people will use them, with nothing ordered at that stage. Then hardware is either supplied and sized by VYROX or your existing machine is confirmed compatible. The AI software and the AISERVA agent are installed and the machine is paired to your account, it goes on your network with power and a cable, staff accounts are created, and you put a real job through an app the same day.
Is a local AI server hard to look after once it is running?
expand_more
For the person using it, there is nothing to look after. It behaves like any other always-on machine on your network: it sits there, it stays on, and the apps work. The platform side is maintained by VYROX, so there is no update queue landing on your desk. The only genuinely local jobs are physical ones, keeping it powered, keeping it ventilated and letting someone know if a light goes out.
What does it add to the electricity bill?
expand_more
It draws power whenever it is on, and it draws more while it is actually working than while it is idle. The honest answer is that the figure depends entirely on the machine you end up with and on your local tariff, so there is no number worth printing here. It is a running cost you should ask about, and it is quoted against the actual hardware during scoping rather than guessed.
What happens if the person who set it up leaves the company?
expand_more
Nothing breaks. The server is paired to your company account, not to an individual, and staff accounts are added and removed from your dashboard by whoever administers it. There is no personal login holding the system together, and no machine-level knowledge that leaves with one person, because the platform side is maintained by VYROX rather than by an internal expert.
What happens when the hardware gets old?
expand_more
It ages like any other computer. As models change, older hardware tends to run newer work more slowly rather than stopping outright, so the usual path is a planned replacement or upgrade when it stops keeping up, not a sudden failure. Because AISERVA pairs to the server rather than living on it, moving to a newer machine means pairing the new one and carrying on.
Is AI running locally really as capable as the big cloud services?
expand_more
Be realistic about this. The very largest cloud models are trained and served at a scale no single office machine matches, and for open-ended general reasoning they are strong. What local hardware does very well is the bounded, repeatable work the marketplace apps are built around: reading documents, extracting fields, checking completeness, summarising, drafting. Those are the jobs AISERVA is aimed at, and they are also the jobs where sending your data away is hardest to justify.
Do I need to back anything up?
expand_more
Treat it like any other machine in your business: the files you feed the apps still live wherever you keep your files, and your existing backup routine should cover them. Whether anything on the server itself needs backing up depends on how you use it, so it is a question worth putting on the table during onboarding rather than discovering later.
Where should the server physically live?
expand_more
Somewhere with power, a network point, airflow and a door. A comms cabinet, a utility room, a store room or a quiet corner of an office all work. Two things matter more than the room itself: it should not be somewhere the fan noise will annoy anyone sitting near it all day, and it should not be somewhere a visitor could walk off with it.
Can I control who in my team can use which app?
expand_more
Yes. Staff have their own logins rather than sharing one, and what each person can reach is set from your dashboard. Combined with the connection audit log, that means you can answer both questions that matter for governance: who has access, and what was actually used and when.
How should I roll this out to a team?
expand_more
Start with one app and one repeating job that annoys someone every week, and run it alongside how you do it now until people trust the output. Once that job is genuinely faster, add the next app rather than launching everything at once. Teams that pick a single painful task first adopt it; teams that announce a platform usually do not.
