Independent R&D Studio
ThirdShift R&D builds private, on-site systems you own. Our flagship pairs the open-source CampOS suite — office, files, books, CRM, and a full creative studio — with Boone, an AI guide that knows your own documents, in one box for small businesses and creators. Your data never leaves the building. Plus the industrial MIAI, build guides, and hardware R&D.
Out in the open · priced to own, not rent · no subscriptions
Private by design · runs on-site · your data never leaves the building
Different domains, one through-line: useful things, well-built, and shipped.
A complete business box you own — the open-source CampOS suite (office, files, books, CRM, creative studio) with Boone, an AI guide that knows your own documents. No subscriptions; your data never leaves the building. In active development — not yet for sale; when it ships, you'll buy a unit, bring your own box, or build it yourself.
A private, on-site AI that catalogs your facility's SOPs, equipment docs, and troubleshooting procedures. Techs query a local 32B-parameter model in real time to cut troubleshooting time where it matters most — in the field. Everything stays on your network.
No degree, no tech background — how a night-shift tradesman made AI and his own weak spots cover for each other to build a whole business. Five lessons, plus a starter you can steal.
The field notes, manuals, and runnable kits behind our boxes — on Gumroad. Owned, not rented; your data stays in the building.
Candid field reports from building private, on‑prem AI on real hardware — the mistakes, the fixes, and the disciplines that held. No box required.
The step‑by‑step builds behind our boxes — written from a real bring‑up that got broken and fixed on hardware, not generic advice.
Everything in the guide, plus the runnable code, scripts, and logs — so the build is reproducible instead of a one‑time miracle. Every file runs.
Want a Boone-on-CampOS box for your small business or studio, or MIAI on your facility floor? Ask about a unit or a pilot. Building your own? The B60 guide has you covered. Either way — or for partnerships — send a note. We read every one and reply personally.
