Frequently asked.
What is Dozō?
A ready-to-run, hardened AI appliance for your home or small business. It runs AI models and agentic workflows on hardware inside your walls, so private data never leaves your network.
Who is it for?
Entrepreneurs and owners who aren't technical and don't want to be — plus their households. Firms holding sensitive client information get the Business edition; insurance agencies get the Agency Edition with Agency OS preloaded.
How is this different from ChatGPT or a cloud AI subscription?
Cloud tools send every prompt and document to someone else's servers under policies they can change. Dozō processes them on a box you own. Privacy by architecture, not by promise.
Couldn't I build this myself with a mini-PC and Ollama?
You could — we did, and that build became Dozō. What you're buying is the two hundred hours you won't spend on reply-loop guards, reboot-proof services, prompt-injection hardening, routing policy, and the test suite that gates every release.
Do I have to give up frontier models like Claude?
No. The Router keeps sensitive lanes local by default and reaches Claude — Sonnet 5, Opus 4.8, and Fable 5 at launch — only where your policy allows. You set the rules once; the box enforces them everywhere.
What's the Agency Edition?
The same box with Agency OS preloaded: Dec Page Intelligence (dec pages → ACORD-structured data, on-box), AMS/CRM integration, and compliance mapped to GLBA Safeguards, the NAIC data-security model law, and the E&O questionnaire. Proven in our own Allstate agency.
Is the phone Co-Pilot compliant for business use?
It's built consent-aware: human-approval drafting for known contacts, configurable consented intake for new ones, full logging.
Who's behind it?
Nazemoff Platforms LLC — the team that runs this exact stack in daily production, at home and inside its own insurance agency. The first units go to the Dozo Builders, our design-partner cohort.
When does it ship?
Design-partner units target September 2026. Reserve now for the first cohort.
How long does setup take?
A fully remote guided install has you live in about 48 hours, integrations included. Prefer to do it yourself? The self-guided install takes about 8 hours.
