Jethro

A private AI for your own PC. It fits in 12 GB of VRAM, so most modern gaming GPUs can run it — and your conversations never leave your machine.

02 Software

Jethro — a private AI that lives on your computer.

Most AI runs on someone else's server, and everything you say to it goes there too. Jethro runs on the graphics card you already own. Local and private is the whole point.

  • Runs entirely on your PC

    Jethro runs on your own hardware instead of a remote data center.

  • Private by design

    Your conversations stay on your machine. Nothing to upload, nothing for anyone else to read.

  • Fits in 12 GB of VRAM

    Built to fit a mainstream gaming GPU, so most people with a modern graphics card can run it.

03 Who's behind it

A small Charlotte team, two businesses.

Z Data Compute Technologies

Z Data Compute Technologies is a small team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. We answer the phone, drive the pickups, wipe the drives and write the software ourselves.

Security and privacy aren't an afterthought in our work; they're the starting point. It's why Jethro runs on your own machine, and why every drive that leaves a customer's office gets wiped to the federal standard and documented.

The company is small on purpose. No outside investors, no growth team, no analytics watching every click.
