* Based on publicly available information as of April 2026. ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Gemini Advanced, Perplexity Pro, and similar products.
Capabilities that have no cloud equivalent — because they require your hardware to exist.
Every request is silently assessed and routed to the most capable AI for that specific task. Code goes to Claude. Creative problems to GPT. Research to Perplexity. Quick answers to Gemini. You never choose.
Your conversations, calendar data, emails — all stored locally in encrypted databases on hardware you own. Nothing passes through any third-party cloud storage. GDPR-compliant by design.
Cloud AIs respond. J.A.M.E.S. anticipates. Traffic building before your meeting. A flight delayed. An appointment conflict. It notices and tells you — unprompted, on whatever platform you use.
Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Alexa, and the web. You don't install an app or learn a UI — J.A.M.E.S. comes to your platforms, with persistent memory across all of them.
One purchase. After that, you pay only for what you actually use — directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, with no markup. Typical usage costs €10–30 per month. The ROI is typically under a year.
Add any capability by importing a standard API specification — weather services, your company's backend, financial data, any web service. New integrations become available in minutes, not months.
A three-year view. No hidden costs, no optimistic assumptions.
We'd rather you know before you buy than be disappointed after.
Explore the packages or get in touch if you have questions. We'll help you decide if J.A.M.E.S. is the right fit — no pressure.
