Self-hosted ChatGPT alternative for executives
Short answer: A self-hosted ChatGPT alternative for executives runs an open model in a cloud account the company or the executive owns, so board and deal material stays under their control. Freeborn Labs builds one for $10,000 plus $48,000 a year.
Why executives ask for self-hosted
Executives are told not to paste board material into consumer chatbots, and they still want the speed. Self-hosting answers the policy objection: the model runs in an account you own, not on a vendor's shared service.
What it takes
A GPU with enough memory for a capable model, a serving engine, a chat interface, connections to mail and calendar, backups and monitoring. It is a real system, not an app install. Most executives should not build it themselves.
What it will not do
It will not match the best closed models on the hardest tasks, and it is not magically private; the server still processes text while it runs. It does let you say plainly where the data lives and who holds the keys.
How Freeborn Labs does it
We build it, connect it narrowly and hand over a login. Freeborn Labs charges a one-time $10,000 setup plus $48,000 a year, or $4,800 a month, with compute at cost. Adults only (18+). Most executives do not want to run servers, patch software or compare model releases, and they should not have to. Freeborn Labs does the setup, hosts it in an environment dedicated to you, connects the tools you already use such as email, calendar and documents, and handles upkeep afterward. Pricing is ,000 for setup plus ,000 a year or ,800 a month, with compute billed at cost. You get the experience of a private chief of staff without managing any of the technology yourself, and a clear explanation of what the agent can and cannot do before you commit.
