FactoryOS

FactoryOS is a local AI operating system. It manages models, memory, permissions, task queues, and approval workflows on hardware the business owns — inside the facility, with no data leaving the premises unless a user explicitly authorizes it.

That's a different architecture than anything browser-based. A cloud AI tool calls an external API. FactoryOS runs the model locally, reads local files, integrates with local software, and keeps every query, every document, and every result on the network the business controls.

Most organizations that evaluate AI tools conclude the same thing: none of them were built for a real business — multiple users, real access controls, sensitive data, workflows that require more than a single prompt-response exchange. This category explains what a system built for that environment actually looks like.
