# Federated Computer > The open-source operating system for your business — and the private AI that runs on it. Unlimited users, one low price, and agentic AI that never leaves your building. Web page: https://federated.computer/ **The Computer for your business — and the AI that runs on it.** Every app your business needs, **unlimited users, one low price**. Now add agentic AI that reads your files, drafts your replies, and ships your code — without ever leaving your building. An example of an AI agent at work on a Federated Core: - Sandbox: Agent awake. Starting the morning run… - Thinking: Checking what came in overnight - App: Read 14 new tickets in FreeScout - Thinking: 5 look like billing questions. Pulling the matching invoices - App: Drafted 9 replies, 5 flagged for your review - App: Filed the signed contract from DocuSeal in Nextcloud - App: Updated 3 deals in EspoCRM - App: Booked 2 discovery calls in Cal.com from yesterday's web form - Thinking: 2 invoices in Kimai don't match the hours logged. Checking timesheets - App: Corrected 2 invoices in Kimai and queued them for approval - App: Flagged 3 items below reorder level in Baserow - App: Tagged 212 photos from Tuesday's job site in Immich - App: Scheduled Thursday's newsletter in Listmonk for 1,480 subscribers - Thinking: Pricing page traffic doubled overnight. Looking for the source - App: Traced it in Plausible to an industry newsletter. Told marketing - App: Summarized 3 new forum threads in Discourse for the product team - App: Posted the morning summary to the team room in Element - Controls: Opened a pull request in Gitea for the invoice template fix - Thinking: Testing the fix on a safe copy of your systems - Controls: Tests passed. Shipped the invoice template fix - Core: Backed up this morning's changes - Done: All done. Nothing left for this morning on your Core.

Just a small team that knows your install and picks up when you need help. ### Real human support When something breaks, you reach a person who can fix it, not a ticket bot. Our customers say the support is the reason they stay. ### Unlimited users Every app comes with unlimited users at the same price. Add your whole team, then your contractors, and your bill stays the same. ### Free 7-day trial Try every app with your own team for a week before you pay. Your card isn't charged until the trial ends. ### Single-tenant by design Your install runs on infrastructure that's yours alone. Nothing is pooled or shared, and once you change your admin password, we can't see your data. ## Why Privacy Isn't a Feature Here — It's the Architecture Most AI products ask you to trust them with your data. We don't ask — because we can't see it. Each Federated Computer install is single-tenant: yours alone, protected by industrial-grade firewalls, and once you change your admin password, we can't access your data at all. No advertising. No AI training on your business. Ever. [Learn About the AI Privacy Advantage](https://federated.computer/ai-privacy-advantage/index.md) - **80%+** Typical savings vs. Big Tech software bills - **100+** Open-source apps in the Library - **30X** Agent density gains for AI workloads - **Single-Tenant** Every customer, fully isolated ## Customers: Businesses That Made the Move 98% of our customers would recommend Federated to a friend. > There's nothing worse than spending hours in support queues, talking to robots and getting nowhere — these guys are the opposite.
