DeskIQ Desk · turnkey AI setup

An AI assistant computer that arrives working.

DeskIQ Desk is a Mac mini, pre-loaded with your AI assistant and connected to your email, calendar, and messaging before it ships. You plug it in, sign in, and it works. No Mac to buy, no IT project to run.

We configure it before it ships.

Most AI setups ask you to buy hardware, install software, and wire up accounts yourself. DeskIQ Desk skips that. We build your assistant on the box first, test it against your real accounts, and only then send it out. The work you'd normally do during setup already happened.

1. We build it

You tell us your workflows on a discovery call. We configure the assistant, connect your accounts, and test the approval flow on the actual Mac mini you'll receive.

2. It arrives

We ship the Mac mini to you, or deliver it in person if you're in Greater Boston. Either way, the assistant is already running when it arrives.

3. You sign in

Plug it in, sign in to your accounts, and start using it. We walk you through approvals and requests on a short handoff call.

What's on the box.

DeskIQ Desk runs the Hermes AI assistant, an open-source agent built by Nous Research, using cloud AI models for drafting and reasoning.

Mac mini M4, 16GB/512GBEnough power for inbox triage, drafting, scheduling, and reminders for one user.

Approval-based by defaultThe assistant drafts; you approve. Nothing sends without your sign-off.
Cloud AI modelsDrafting and reasoning run on cloud AI providers, billed to your own account, typically $5 to $20 a month.

Who it's for.

DeskIQ Desk is built for owners who want a working assistant without adding a Mac to their setup or running a mini IT project to get there.

No Mac in the office

You run Windows, or don't have a spare machine to dedicate. DeskIQ Desk brings its own hardware, so nothing else changes.

Want it simple

You want one box that does one job well: an assistant that handles inbox, calendar, and follow-up work, without a setup project attached.

Growing past solo

Add users on the same box at standard per-user setup rates as your team grows, without buying new hardware for each person.

Common questions.

Do I need to already own a Mac?
No. DeskIQ Desk ships with its own Mac mini. You don't need any existing hardware to get started.
Is the AI model included in the price?
The Mac mini and the assistant setup are included. Cloud AI model usage is billed to your own account, typically $5 to $20 a month depending on use.
Can I add more users later?
Yes. Extra users on the same box are set up at standard per-user setup rates: $449 for Solo-tier volume, less at Team and Firm volume.
What if I want the model to run locally instead of in the cloud?
That's DeskIQ Private, our on-premise option. The model runs on the box itself, so client data never reaches a cloud AI provider.
