Deployment & data ownership
Your pipeline never leaves your server.
Every deployment is dedicated and runs on infrastructure you control. Not a tenant in our cloud with a region setting — your server, your environment, your keys.
What “self-hosted” means here.
Most vendors describe themselves as secure and mean their cloud is well run. Some offer a data-residency toggle that picks which of their regions holds your records. Either way, your prospect list sits in someone else’s multi-tenant database and your conversations pass through their account with the model provider.
That is a reasonable trade for most software. It is a harder trade when the data is the list of organizations you are selling to, what you know about them, and what they have told you in confidence.
Kinetic Tricks takes the other path. The full stack installs on a server you own — the agents, the CRM, the knowledge base, the site, and the lead capture. We do not hold a copy.
What gets deployed.
- Sage and Aria — the two agents, running against your pipeline and your content.
- The CRM — a full instance, with your contacts, accounts, opportunities, and activity.
- The knowledge base — your product, positioning, and voice, which is what the agents write from.
- Site and lead capture — forms that write straight into your own CRM rather than a vendor’s.
- Scheduling and reporting — social queueing, daily briefs, weekly reports, manager rollup.
Nothing is shared with another customer. There is no pooled database and no cross-tenant index.
You hold the keys
You choose the model. You pay it directly.
Kinetic Tricks does not resell inference. You supply your own provider credentials — Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, or a local model through Ollama — and you are billed by that provider at their rate. We add no markup and bundle nothing that would obscure what the AI actually costs.
Two things follow from that. You decide which provider sees your data, and you can run entirely on local models if your obligations require it. And because the meter is yours, you can read it: a full conference outreach campaign across roughly a thousand contacts ran about $2.40 in tokens.
What it takes to run.
Less than people expect. One sales user running one brand fits comfortably on a modest VPS under 4 GiB of RAM — the tier most providers price in the low tens of dollars a month. Adding users and brands grows it gradually rather than in steps.
You can host it anywhere you already work: your own hardware, your existing cloud account, or a VPS we help you stand up. If you would rather not manage infrastructure at all, we will host it for you — the deployment is still dedicated, not pooled.
Activation includes the whole setup. It takes about thirty minutes of your time; we do the rest.
You can read the source.
Under the evaluation agreement you get source-code visibility. If your team wants to know what the agents do with a contact record before you point them at your pipeline, you can look rather than take our word for it.
No cloud competitor offers this, for the obvious reason that their code runs on their servers.
The honest limits.
- We don’t hold a compliance certification. What we offer is architectural — your deployment, your keys, your data. If your contracts require a certified vendor, that is a real constraint and we will say so rather than talk around it.
- Self-hosted means you own the server. Backups, uptime, and OS patching are yours unless you take managed hosting. Most customers already do this for other systems; some would rather not.
- Model costs are variable. Because you pay the provider directly, your bill moves with your usage. That is the trade for transparency — no flat fee that quietly includes a margin.
Who this matters most to.
Any team can run it this way, and every customer does. But for some buyers it is the whole reason the conversation happens at all — security and compliance firms whose client data cannot sit in a vendor’s cloud, and regulated sellers whose agreements make the question straightforward.
Bring your hard questions.
Where it runs, what touches the model, what happens to your data. Those are the right questions and they have direct answers. Fifteen minutes, no deck.
