--- title: AI consultancy date: 2026-05-22T12:13:00+02:00 author: Hannes Heckel canonical_url: "https://www.fast-lta.de//en/fast/contact/ai" section: Corporate Pages --- Harnessing internal knowledge with AI # AI using your own data, without revealing any data An LLM’s response is only as good as the data it’s based on. But for many industries, sending corporate data to a hyperscaler is simply not an option. We’ll show you how AI works locally with your data. GDPR- and EU AI Act-compliant. ### EU AI Act The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive legislative regulation of AI systems, in force since August 2024. It classifies AI applications by risk level and sets concrete requirements for transparency, control, data protection and human oversight for high-risk systems.

Searching for information within the company, contract analysis, searching through files and archives, and onboarding support. We start with the use case, not the model. ### What data should be included? Structured sources (databases, ERP systems), unstructured sources (documents, emails, wikis). Setting up a RAG pipeline for your data. ### What hardware? Silent AI Appliance. Licence packages for 25, 50 or 100 named users. Scalability via appliance classes. ### AI Appliance An AI appliance is a dedicated hardware unit in which an AI model, computing infrastructure (GPU), data storage and software stack are combined into a ready-to-operate system — as an alternative to a self-built AI server or cloud AI.

We’re not promoting head-to-head comparisons with cloud AI, but a different architecture. ##### No, it’s not a case of “you need hyperscaler capacity” That’s not true for most internal AI use cases. We scale our infrastructure to meet actual demand. ##### No AI buzzwords without a specific use case. Pre-Sales Engineering ### Do you want to understand the technical aspects of the appliance? Architectural sketch, RAG setup, data source integration. Pre-sales meeting with René or Martin.
