$420K
saved per year vs hiring 7 people
7 AI Employees. One Device. Zero Cloud Risk.
A 12-person startup runs 7 AI workers on a single Comino Grando — sales, support, content, QA, analytics, marketing, admin — 24/7, all data on-premise.

AI Team Works 24/7

The Problem
$420K/yr for 7 hires — no budget
SDR, support, marketing, analytics, content, QA, admin — $60K each.
Everything takes weeks
12 people doing 19 jobs. Research, content, testing — all stuck.
Client data can't go to cloud
Enterprise contracts ban cloud AI. No ChatGPT, no Copilot.
Leads lost to slow response
3 time zones. 34% leads gone — nobody online at 3am.
