Bonfyre is a behind-the-scenes engine that takes messy business input — calls, files, notes, recordings — and turns it into something useful, organized, and ready to use. No cloud bills. No vendor lock-in. Runs on your hardware.
The Shift Handoff app takes linked public videos, transcribes them locally, generates summaries and proof bundles, and removes the original media. Everything is traceable back to the source.
Real cost and complexity savings. These are real numbers.
These workflows weren't possible before — they needed expensive cloud GPUs or huge servers. Now they run on your laptop.
Record a client intake call. Bonfyre transcribes it privately on your machine, summarizes the discussion, identifies key issues, and packages everything into a structured brief. Your client's data never touches the cloud.
Patient conversations transcribed and summarized into structured SOAP notes — all on-premise. HIPAA-compliant by default because nothing leaves the building. An 8 GB device runs the entire stack.
Drop in a raw episode → get a transcript, show notes, social media clips, and a checkout page — all generated locally in under 5 minutes. No API costs. No monthly subscriptions.
AI video generation models that used to need $10K+ cloud GPUs now run on a $2,000 workstation. Generate longer sequences without running out of memory — Bonfyre's compression makes the difference.
Record interviews in the field with no internet. Bonfyre transcribes on-device, creates searchable archives, and publishes a static website — all from a MacBook. Multi-lingual support included.
Record a 90-minute lecture. Bonfyre transcribes it, generates structured notes, and produces a study guide — all locally. Student data never goes to any third party.
Run AI quality inspection on the factory floor with no internet required. A small device handles the entire model + logging + API. Fits in a 10-watt power envelope.
Full AI inference on hardware with no internet connection. Bonfyre's compression means large AI models now fit on portable, field-deployable devices.
bonfyre-moq is a pure C MoQ/WebTransport relay that runs inline AI inference on every media object, tunes its own buffer and routing policy via a live RL agent, discovers peers via gossip multicast, and elects a consensus leader for distributed announce/subscribe. No Node.js. No SaaS relay fees.
Data comes in (audio, files, notes) → Bonfyre processes it locally → organized output comes out (summaries, briefs, archives, checkout pages). No cloud. No API keys. No monthly bills.
If you have a laptop made in the last 5 years, you can probably run Bonfyre. Here's what different hardware can handle.
| What You Have | What You Can Run |
|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi / 8 GB device | Small AI models, local transcription, full pipeline processing |
| MacBook / 16 GB laptop | Speech transcription + AI inference + video processing — all running together |
| MacBook Pro / 64 GB Mac | Large AI models (14B parameters), full video generation, 32K-token context windows |
| Cloud GPU (T4 / 16 GB) | Everything a 64 GB Mac can do, plus batch processing and multi-model workflows |
| Workstation GPU (RTX 4090+) | Full video generation, multi-second sequences, all models simultaneously |
AI models that used to require expensive cloud GPUs now fit on hardware you already own. Bonfyre's compression technology makes models ~4× smaller while keeping quality at 99.9%+. That's the difference between "cloud only" and "runs on your laptop."
