# Blue Isle — InTouch AI

> InTouch AI is a self-hosted automation server with a built-in agentic AI assistant. You describe what you want in plain English; it builds the automation, schedules it, runs it on hardware you own, and records every run. Personal Edition is free. Credentials stay in an encrypted vault the AI cannot read, and no data leaves your network unless you send it there.
