Products from SDL AI

We build one product at a time and prove it before starting the next. Studio is live today. The rest are on a public roadmap.

SDL AI StudioLive

A private AI workspace you own: chat with local models, run projects, research the web, and generate images on your own machine.

SDL HubComing soon

Ready-made prompts, roles, and templates you can drop straight into Studio instead of building from scratch.

SDL APIComing soon

SDL's local-first AI engine behind your own apps, through a simple developer API.

SDL FlowComing soon

Routine AI tasks running on a schedule, so repetitive work happens without you.

The flagship, available now

Private AI for your business.
On your machine, not theirs.

SDL AI Studio is a private, local-first AI workspace. Chat, AI roles, projects, research, a private knowledge base, and image generation, all on a computer you own.

Why we build this way

AI should not cost you control

Most AI tools bill you per person every month, keep your data on their servers, and scatter your work across a dozen apps. We wanted the opposite.

The trap

Per-seat forever

Subscriptions grow with your headcount, so the tool you rely on quietly gets more expensive every time you hire.

The risk

Your data, their servers

Prompts, documents, and customer details often leave your business by default, with no clear way back.

Our answer

Own it, keep it local

Software you buy once and run on your own machine. Private by default, cloud only when you choose.

Why you can trust it

Real product, honest claims

  • Shipping and maintained. SDL AI Studio is at v1.1.1, and we shipped security hardening before chasing growth.
  • Local-first by architecture. Core chat, projects, and image generation run on your machine, from one open download for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Own it, never rent it. One-time license, up to 2 of your own devices, no per-seat billing, no account needed to start.
Placeholder, replace with a real quote"We moved our daily AI work off a monthly subscription and onto our own machines. Same output, no per-seat bill, and client files never leave the office."Name, role, company to confirm

If you are worried a local app cannot keep up, everything here runs on ordinary business hardware, and cloud models are one toggle away for the moments you want more reach.

Before you decide

Straight answers to fair questions

Is my data really private?

By default, yes. Studio runs local models on your machine, so prompts and files stay there. Cloud models and web search are opt-in and stay off until you turn them on.

Can a local app really run AI well on my computer?

Within your hardware, yes. Studio detects your machine and picks safe settings, runs smaller models comfortably on modest PCs, and lets you add cloud models when you want more power.

Is this just another subscription?

No. Free is free forever with no account. Pro is a one-time ₱1,499 you own, on up to 2 of your devices, with no per-seat billing.

What if it breaks or I need help?

It is an actively maintained product at v1.1.1, updates install on restart, and a real person answers at socialdesignlab.ph@gmail.com.

Only one product exists. Is this company real?

Studio is live and shipping today. Hub, API, and Flow are on a public roadmap we build one at a time, so you can see exactly where this is going before you commit.
