What It Is

Clics positions itself as “private intelligence for private clients.” It is not selling software accounts; instead, it builds locally run private AI, a business knowledge vault, and a self-hosted CRM for up to 5 clients, while also providing high-end video content production. Its core proposition is that the AI and CRM run on the client’s own hardware, so data is not stored on third-party servers such as HubSpot, Salesforce, or ChatGPT.

Core Capabilities and Use Cases

The AI component is called the Private AI brain. Its data sources include client projects, customer lists, pricing, processes, project notes, and video content, with Q&A available via Telegram. The CRM uses the self-hosted Twenty platform. Typical use cases include business knowledge queries, client and project management, content calendars, short-form video production, founder-led communication, and brand documentaries. The page does not disclose the specific models used, RAG architecture, access controls, or API details, so its technical verifiability is limited.

Pricing and Delivery

System costs $4,500 per month, and Studio also costs $4,500 per month, both with a 6-month minimum commitment. The combined Studio + System package costs $8,000 per month. Higher-tier Flagship and Signature plans start at $12,000 and $15,000 per month respectively. There is also a $5,000 30-day Paid Discovery option, which can be used to set up the vault, AI, and CRM first. Hardware such as a Mac Studio is billed separately, but setup, calibration, maintenance, and interviews are included in the monthly fee.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are clear privacy controls, local deployment, a closed loop between content production and the knowledge base, and a capped client count that suggests a high level of service depth. The drawbacks are the high price, long commitment period, and reliance on Clics for ongoing service. Clients can take their data with them, but the operating software remains the property of Clics. In addition, the AI’s effectiveness is only described in marketing terms, with no details on model performance, security audits, or Chinese-language capabilities.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Clics is better suited to mature brands or service businesses with sufficient budget, strong privacy requirements, a large amount of project and client knowledge, and an ongoing need for video content. Access from China, payment methods, and Chinese-language support are not disclosed. Cross-border use would require further confirmation of network access, hardware delivery, remote maintenance, and payment feasibility. For deployment in China, a combination of locally privatized CRM, enterprise knowledge base, on-premise LLM RAG solutions, and a domestic video production team could be considered as an alternative.
