AI that fitsyour business

AI can take work off your hands, but only if you know where your data ends up. We work out what suits your business, set it up properly and put the ground rules in writing, so your team can use it safely.

Which AI suits you?

What kind of data do you work with?
Where do you want to use AI?

Answer both questions. The right route depends on how sensitive your data is and where it's allowed to be stored.

Three routes to AI

The right one depends on how sensitive your data is and where it's allowed to be stored.

  • Microsoft Copilot

    Built right into Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint. Powerful, but only safe if your Microsoft 365 environment is set up correctly. We handle the whole implementation, from licensing and permissions to training your team.

  • Claude

    Claude is at its best with long documents, precise analysis, code and nuanced writing. We build it into your existing workflows through the API.

  • Local AI on your Mac

    For data that must never leave your own environment. It runs entirely offline on an Apple Silicon Mac: no cloud, no subscription. Ideal for lawyers, accountants, HR professionals and anyone handling confidential client data.

  • A policy that holds up

    No data processing agreement, no data classification, no ground rules for staff: that's an audit waiting to happen. We set out what can and can't go into an AI tool, and make sure those rules are enforced technically too.

AI in your existing software

We're not tied to any one vendor, so you get honest advice based on what you need.

Your existing software

The applications and workflows you already use

  • Claude

    Via the API, in Anthropic's cloud

  • OpenAI

    Via the API, in OpenAI's cloud

  • Locally on your Mac

    Open models such as Llama, Mistral or Phi-4. No cloud, no subscription.

The code, prompts and integrations we build are yours.

Cloud models are pay-as-you-go. You only need a licence if you opt for Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Open-source AI tools we use

Every tool below is free, open source and proven in real-world use. No licence fees, no vendor lock-in.

  • Ollama

    The heart of your local AI setup. It runs AI models entirely on your Mac, with no internet connection needed. Free, open source and optimised for Apple Silicon.

  • Open WebUI

    A familiar ChatGPT-style interface in your browser, but everything stays on your Mac. Your team won't notice any difference, except that no data leaves the building.

  • Llama · Mistral · Phi-4

    Free, open-source AI models from Meta, Mistral AI and Microsoft. We pick the right one with you, based on your tasks and your Mac hardware.

  • LM Studio

    Not keen on the Terminal? LM Studio lets you manage AI models through a simple graphical interface. We install everything; you just click "Start".

Free, no obligation

Copilot Readiness Scan

Before you roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot, you need to know whether your environment is ready for it. Poor preparation leads to data leaks, inaccurate AI answers and frustrated staff. nxtbit runs a free Copilot Readiness Scan, so you get a clear report before you activate a single Copilot licence.

Book a free scan
  • Microsoft 365 configuration Are your licences, permissions and security in order for Copilot?
  • Data classification Which files and emails can Copilot see, and which must stay off limits?
  • Privacy and GDPR Does your setup comply with Belgian and European regulations?
  • User readiness Is your team ready to work effectively with Copilot?

From scan to AI-native in 4 steps

  1. Free scan or assessment

    We look at your setup, how your data is organised and what you need. You get a clear report, free and with no obligation.

  2. Tailored implementation plan

    We choose the right tools with you: Copilot, Claude, local AI or a mix. You get a concrete plan with timings and a budget.

  3. Installation and integration

    Licences, permissions, API integrations, local models: we set it all up. Your team doesn't have to do anything technical.

  4. Training and ongoing support

    Practical, jargon-free training for your team. If you like, we can look after your AI setup through NXT managed services.

Why SMEs choose nxtbit

  • Independent advice

    We work with Copilot, Claude and open-source AI, so the advice you get is honest.

  • We use it ourselves

    AI is built into all of our own tools, so what we set up for you is what we use ourselves every day.

  • Apple specialist

    As a Jamf Professional Partner, we already manage Apple devices for SMEs in Flanders. AI slots neatly into your existing Mac environment.

  • Privacy first

    Every implementation starts with one question: which data is allowed to go where? We also provide the documentation you can show in a GDPR audit.

Frequently asked questions

Can nxtbit build AI into our existing software, without vendor lock-in or compulsory licences?

Yes. nxtbit is a Belgian IT company based in Herk-de-Stad, serving SMEs in Limburg, Antwerp, Flemish Brabant and East Flanders. We connect AI to the software you already use through the Claude or OpenAI API. Alternatively, we run open models such as Llama, Mistral or Phi-4 locally on your Mac: no cloud, no subscription.

The code, prompts and integrations we build are yours, so you're not tied to us. You only need a licence if you opt for Microsoft 365 Copilot; cloud models accessed through an API are pay-as-you-go.

Is the Copilot Readiness Scan really free?
Yes, completely free and with no obligation. You get a report with concrete findings on your Microsoft 365 environment. If you'd like to go ahead with implementation afterwards, we'll put together a tailored quote.
We have Copilot licences, but it isn't working as it should
That's a common situation. We assess your current setup, pin down the cause (usually data classification or permissions) and fix the configuration so Copilot works effectively and safely.
Can we use Copilot and local AI side by side?
Absolutely, and it's often the smartest approach: Copilot for tasks involving non-sensitive data, local AI for confidential documents and client data. nxtbit sets up both and makes sure your team knows which tool to use when.
Which Mac do I need for local AI?
At minimum, a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) and 16 GB of unified memory. A MacBook Air M2 or M3 is enough for everyday business tasks. We'll assess your existing hardware free of charge during the introductory call.
