About JeffyAI

One person built this.
For one reason.

Big Tech AI listens to everything. ChatGPT logs your conversations. Claude reads what you ask. Gemini knows what you wonder about at 2am. All of it sent to servers you'll never see, owned by companies that sell your data.

JeffyAI doesn't.

This isn't a corporate product. JeffyAI was designed by one person — Jeff Johnson — in the Pacific Northwest, and built with the help of a few cooperative AI partners. We did it because no major AI product would guarantee what should be obvious: your conversations are yours. Take that, Silicon Valley.

"I built JeffyAI because I wanted an AI that worked for me — not for the company that made it. That meant local-only, no cloud, no surveillance. So I built it that way. Apparently nobody else would."

— Jeff Johnson, founder, Sagentica

How JeffyAI actually works

Where it runs
On your computer. Not in a data center. Not in the cloud. Not on Sagentica's servers. The AI brain (a local language model) plus JeffyAI's privacy infrastructure (memory, vault, profiles, license signing) all run on your local hardware. You can install it on a desktop with no internet connection.
What we see
Your email address (for license delivery). Your purchase amount (for tax records). Optionally — only if you opt in — minimal crash reports or anonymous usage stats. We literally cannot see your conversations because they stay on your machine. There is no cloud sync, no backup-to-our-servers, nothing. Full privacy policy →
The AI engine
JeffyAI uses open-source AI models (like Qwen, Llama, Mistral) running locally on your hardware via Ollama. But the AI model is just one part — the privacy infrastructure around it (memory, vault, multi-profile, license signing, agentic mod system, edition-aware features) is what makes JeffyAI a product. We call that infrastructure QAICX (K6). More on that below.
What you pay
$99 founders / $149 list, once. Yours forever. The version you buy is yours to use as you like — even five years from now. First year of updates included. After that, want new features, new versions, major upgrades? An optional small annual fee. Skip it and keep using what you bought — it doesn't expire. Critical security fixes are free during your version's supported lifecycle (AI moves faster than traditional software — support windows for AI products are typically shorter than 10-year Office runs). If you're online, patches arrive automatically. Off-grid users pay shipping for physical delivery. (We're not renting a helicopter to find Prepper Joe.) The local-first design means even an unsupported version keeps running on your machine — your data and memories transfer to whatever you upgrade to. If we change pricing in the future, the change applies to new purchases — not yours. That's a promise written into the License Agreement.
What you can do
Chat with Jeffy (the AI character). Set up family profiles for your household. Encrypt private notes in a local vault. Add voice interaction. Run web design or marketing mods. Customize the personality. Activate add-ons (sub-accounts, white-label, privacy controls suitable for medical contexts — not certified). Everything happens on your machine.

The brand stack, plainly

Sagentica
The parent company. Based in Oregon. Founded by Jeff Johnson. Owns the QAICX platform.
QAICX (K6)
"Quality AI Customer Experience" — Sagentica's proprietary multi-tenant private AI platform. The infrastructure inside JeffyAI. Pronounced kay-six.
JeffyAI
The consumer product. The first product built on QAICX. What you install on your computer.
Jeffy
The AI character inside JeffyAI. Who you actually talk to. ("Hey Jeffy, what should I make for dinner?")

Building a private AI product yourself? Run it on QAICX.

QAICX (K6) is Sagentica's white-label private AI platform. Healthcare companies, legal firms, education platforms, therapy apps — anyone who needs their own branded AI product without building the privacy + license + multi-tenant infrastructure from scratch — can license QAICX and ship on top of it.

Your customers see your brand. Your data stays in your tenant. Sagentica handles the platform.

One AI. One owner. One lifetime.

Big Tech AI products charge $20-30/month for cloud-hosted assistants that read everything you type. Enterprise "private AI" products charge $500+/year and require an IT department to install.

JeffyAI charges $99 once (founders sale, list $149). Runs entirely on your computer. Setup takes 5 minutes. Privacy is the default — not a premium upsell. Agentic AI for everyone, at the price point of a video game.

Knows you. Tells nobody. Local. Loyal. Lifelong. This is what "democratization of AI" should have meant.

Why this matters

In 2024-2026, every major AI company has been caught in some form of privacy scandal — chats leaked, conversations used to train, data sold to advertisers, government requests honored. Every "we don't store your data" claim has been quietly walked back when it became inconvenient.

JeffyAI is built on architectural commitment, not policy promise. Your data can't be leaked because it never left your machine to begin with. The privacy isn't a feature you trust us to honor — it's a fact that's true regardless of what we say.

Who built this

Jeff Johnson. Solo founder. Pacific Northwest. Built JeffyAI alongside the QAICX platform over many months of nights and weekends, on top of a long career building things on the internet.

No VC. No engineering team. No marketing department. Just one person who was tired of Big Tech AI listening to everything, and decided to build the alternative.

If JeffyAI helps you, that's the whole point. If it doesn't, the download is free. If you have questions, email jeff@jeffyai.com — it goes directly to me.
