SDL AI
AI you own,
not AI you rent.
SDL AI builds private, local-first software you buy once and run on your own machine. Start free, no account, and nothing leaves your device by default.
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.
A private AI workspace you own: chat with local models, run projects, research the web, and generate images on your own machine.
Ready-made prompts, roles, and templates you can drop straight into Studio instead of building from scratch.
SDL's local-first AI engine behind your own apps, through a simple developer API.
Routine AI tasks running on a schedule, so repetitive work happens without you.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Start free. Upgrade once, own it forever.
Try SDL AI Studio free on your own machine. When you are ready for the full workspace, Pro is a one-time purchase, not a monthly bill that grows with your business.
