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.
• 800+ Locations Deployed Kiosks and AI systems supporting communities across libraries, universities, and public institutions. • Serving 5 Continents Trusted by institutions in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. • 8 Million+ Annual Checkouts Empowering users with seamless, automated access to technology and information—every single day.
