In BC, privacy considerations make it a real liability to hand student or client data to a public cloud AI. No major AI product was built with that liability in mind, or with a way to integrate into the offline tech stacks these institutions already run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curator is open-source, local-first AI infrastructure that runs on hardware a school or studio already owns, so that knowledge never has to leave the building to be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cadenza Studio, our first application of this technology, shows what that looks like in practice: it listens to a lesson locally, drafts a summary, retrieves and transposes the right sheet music, answers voice questions against your own uploaded documents, and shares curated information with clients securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you might ask it to find the Clarinet 3 part in a concert band arrangement and email it to two of your students. It&#8217;s that easy. No digging through a filing cabinet. No drafting any emails.
