Private AI services for small businesses in Louisiana
We organize your business knowledge and put a private AI system on hardware you own, so your team gets answers from your own files without sending anything to the cloud. Sold in stages, managed by us, built in Mandeville.
30 minutes. No obligation. Written findings either way.
The AI Operations Engagement: Organize, Strengthen, Grow
Your company already knows most of what it needs to run better. The trouble is where that knowledge lives. We fix that in three stages, and you decide how far to go. Each one stands on its own.
Organize
We put your house in order. Using AI tools, we clean up and restructure years of documents, email and files so they can be found and trusted. Fixed one-time project fee. Ends with a live preview on our equipment using a copy of your organized data, so you can see what Stage 2 would do before buying it. Optional light monthly retainer keeps it in order.
Strengthen
We install a private AI system over your organized email and files, on hardware in your building that you own. Your team asks questions in plain English and gets answers pulled from your own records. Hardware at cost, a one-time implementation, then a flat monthly service covering the platform, updates, monitoring, backups and support.
Grow
An expanded monthly tier as the system takes on more of the heavy lifting: surfacing missed opportunities, dormant clients and open deadlines, drafting routine work, and answering staff questions so the business does more with the people it has.
Your data stays yours
The system runs on hardware in your building: no public cloud AI, no per-question fees, nothing leaving your network. You own the hardware and the information. What we provide is the platform and the engineering that keeps it sharp. Everything is exportable at any time.
That matters most for the businesses we serve: attorneys, CPAs, title companies and medical practices that cannot paste client records into a public chatbot.

What can AI actually do for a 5 to 50 person business?

What AI services does Lagniappe IT offer?
Strategy and advisory (finding the use cases worth doing), a staged AI Operations Engagement that organizes your data and installs a private AI system you own, custom AI applications for intake, document processing and client questions, the data and knowledge layer behind them, and the security and governance that keep it all defensible.
Is our data sent to ChatGPT or another cloud service?
Not with our private deployment. The AI system runs on hardware in your building that you own. Nothing leaves your network and there are no per-question fees. Where a cloud model is the right tool for a specific task, we say so, and it is your call.
How much does an AI project cost?
Each stage of the AI Operations Engagement is scoped and quoted on its own, in writing, after a short scoping call once we have seen what you are working with.
Do we have to buy all three stages?
No. Stage 1 (Organize) is a complete piece of work with its own return, and most companies could stop there and be glad they did it. Stages 2 and 3 are there when you are ready, not obligations you prepay.
What is Esprit?
Esprit is the AI memory platform we built and host from our Mandeville office. It gives a business a persistent, structured memory of its clients, decisions and processes so that AI tools start every task with full context. It is the same technology we run our own operations on.
Start with a 30-minute AI scoping call.
We look at how your business runs and where the knowledge lives, then tell you what putting your house in order would take. No vendor pitch, no obligation.
