How It Works
A practical, on-site AI model designed for fiduciary environments.
GuardBox AI was designed to answer a simple but critical question:
How can labor unions benefit from AI without losing control of their data?
This page explains how GuardBox AI works without jargon or technical theatrics.
The Core Principle
GuardBox AI operates on one non-negotiable principle:
Sensitive union data should remain under union control at all times.
Sensitive union data should remain under union control at all times.
That principle shapes every design decision.
Where GuardBox AI Lives
GuardBox AI is a physical AI server installed on-site, inside your environment.
- It does not run in a public cloud
- It does not send data to consumer AI platforms
- It does not rely on shared AI infrastructure
Instead, GuardBox AI operates inside your security perimeter, under your governance and policies.
This mirrors how unions have historically protected sensitive information, by keeping it close, controlled, and explainable.
What Happens to Your Data
When staff interact with GuardBox AI:
- Information is processed inside the GuardBox AI appliance
- Data is not transmitted to unknown third parties
- Prompts and responses remain within your environment
- Access can be restricted based on role and policy
In simple terms:
Your data goes into the box and stays in the box.
Designed to be Secure by Default
GuardBox AI is built to feel familiar to anyone accustomed to traditional union IT safeguards. Key characteristics include:
- On-site deployment, not cloud hosting
- Double-firewalled architecture, similar to layered network security
- No open, public internet exposure
- Designed to reduce accidental data leakage
This isa controlled system designed for environments where caution is necessary.
Prepared Specifically for Your Union
GuardBox AI does not arrive as a generic, one-size-fits-all system.
Before installation, each unit is prepared specifically for your organization:
- Trained on your union’s policies, documents, and practices
- Aligned with how your office actually operates
- Optionally named and branded for your union
This preparation allows GuardBox AI to be useful immediately, without staff having to “teach” it from scratch.
What GuardBox AI Is — and Is Not
GuardBox AI is:
- An internal AI assistant for union staff
- A controlled environment for AI use
- A tool designed to support prudence and defensibility
GuardBox AI is not:
- A replacement for staff judgment
- A public or consumer AI chatbot
- A system that sends union data to the cloud
Its role is to support, not override, responsible decision-making.
What Deployment Typically Looks Like
While each environment is different, most deployments follow a straightforward path:
-
Review fit and alignment
-
Prepare and configure the system
-
Deliver and install the appliance
-
Validate access and usage policies
-
Begin controlled use
There are no surprise migrations, and there's no data harvesting or forced workflow changes.
When You’re Ready to Proceed
Once a union has confirmed that an on-site, non-cloud AI approach is appropriate, the next questions are usually practical:
- What does deployment involve?
- How is GuardBox AI priced?
- What approvals are required?
- How do we move forward responsibly?
For those answers, we provide a clear overview of deployment options, pricing structure, and engagement steps.

A Reminder on Process
GuardBox AI is intentionally designed to support a deliberate decision process.
Some unions proceed.
Some decide not to.
Some decide not to.
Both outcomes reflect responsible governance.
