NestAI deploys real cloud servers (Hetzner cpx22 — 8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD). Setup takes 25–33 minutes as the AI model downloads to your server.

ℹ
Payment of ₹1 is charged first to verify your payment method, then the full monthly amount.

Step 3 — Wait for deployment

After payment, you'll be taken to the deployment progress screen. The process has four stages:

Server created~1 minHetzner server provisioned in your region
System setup~5 minDocker, nginx, SSL certificate installed
AI containers start~3 minOpen WebUI and Ollama start up
Model downloading10–15 minAI model downloads to your server (depends on model size)
✓
We'll email you when your server is ready. You don't need to keep the tab open.

Step 4 — Access your AI

6

Open your AI URL

When deployment is complete, go to your dashboard and click Open AI →. Or navigate directly to yourname.nestai.chirai.dev.

7

Sign in to Open WebUI

The first time you visit, you'll be prompted to create an admin account on your private server. This is separate from your NestAI account — it controls access to the AI chat interface itself.

⚠
Only share your AI URL with trusted teammates. Anyone with the URL can create an account on your server unless you disable sign-ups in Open WebUI settings.
8

Start chatting

Select your model from the dropdown and start chatting. Your conversations are stored only on your server — they never leave your infrastructure.
