Why Brainy Exists
Privacy you demand and you control
- • Privacy First: At Brainy, privacy is a core design principle not just marketing. • Local AI Only: All AI runs locally on-premise using open-source models no cloud dependency. • Secure Chat History: User history is encrypted with login credentials and never mined or shared. • Full Data Control: Users choose what to save, delete, or keep private nothing stored without consent. • User-Owned Data: Brainy ensures data ownership stays with the user.
Local Inference
hardware on-premise
- • On-Premise Power: Brainy runs on dedicated local hardware—giving you full control over performance, cost, and privacy. • No Cloud Fees: Your electricity powers the tokens, not the cloud—no usage fees or hidden costs. • Efficient Performance: Uses energy-efficient inference hardware capable of running 3B–20B+ parameter models with speed and low energy draw. • Transparent Pricing: Costs are based on concurrent users, not tokens. • Freedom & Scalability: No throttling, no overages, no vendor lock-in—just smart, scalable AI infrastructure for your community.
Open source models
you choose
• AI for the Public: Brainy treats AI as a public good—not a corporate product.
• Open-Source Models: Built on models like Gemma, Mistral, and LLaMA—not closed systems.
• Transparent & Ethical: No hidden data mining; fully auditable and community-improved.
• Local & Adaptable: Runs on-premise and tunes easily for use cases like legal aid or health literacy.
• Built for Service: Open models keep Brainy agile, ethical, and mission-aligned.
Enterprise solutions

About Us
Who We Are
On a Mission to Democratize AI
LaptopsAnytime is a U.S.-based technology company headquartered in Hayward, California, and a pioneer in automated device lending solutions. Since our founding in 2010, we’ve been designing and manufacturing our entire kiosk ecosystem—including hardware, software, and backend systems—entirely in the United States. Our purpose-built kiosks are trusted by public institutions, schools, and libraries to provide secure, efficient access to laptops and devices—making technology available anytime, to anyone who needs it.
Brainy is the natural extension of our platform—a powerful, on-premise AI assistant developed to democratize artificial intelligence and make it truly accessible to all learners. Built as an add-on to our kiosk systems, Brainy runs on local hardware using open-source AI models, ensuring privacy, transparency, and community ownership. It’s designed for universities and public libraries seeking to offer equitable, secure AI access in a way that empowers individuals while respecting their data.
We believe AI should serve the public, not just the cloud. That’s why we build energy-efficient, open-source AI platforms that run locally, turning libraries, community spaces, and edge devices into intelligent hubs for learning, exploration, and productivity.
Above all, Brainy democratizes AI by making it local, sustainable, and accessible to everyone, starting with the institutions that pioneered open knowledge: libraries.
Instead of relying on distant supercomputers that consume enormous energy and bandwidth, Brainy follows a “models over bandwidth” approach— using compact, purpose-built models that run directly on-site, reducing latency, environmental impact, and dependency on high-speed Internet.
As the first mover in the library AI space, we’re bringing agentic computing into public institutions where everyday people can access private, powerful AI without paywalls, logins, or surveillance.
Rooted in the spirit of open source and the ethos of the public library, Brainy empowers communities to explore the future of intelligence on their terms — transparent, equitable, and locally controlled.
