Clawdie is a **self-hosted AI control plane** for operators who refuse to rent
their compute, their data, or their users' privacy.

You install it on your own hardware — a workstation, a colocated box, a basement
server. It provisions FreeBSD jails, runs your models, and gives every tenant on
your machine a clean slice of the platform: their own database, their own site,
their own backups.

No telemetry leaks upstream. No model weights walk out the door. No vendor
decides what your assistant is allowed to say tomorrow.
