Use AI without handing anyone your memory.

AI gets more useful the more it knows about you. Every company building it knows that too, which is why the pitch keeps drifting toward being in every part of your life — your files, your messages, your history, your habits. The more of you they hold, the better their product gets and the harder it is to leave. A lot of people find that unsettling, not exciting. I wanted there to be a place for them to go.

A layer in the middle that you own. Your memory, your files, and your context live on a machine that is yours, and the models come to it — not the other way round. You can use the best model from any company, and your own, and none of them ends up holding the whole picture of you: they see the request you send, and you hold the rest. Leave one, switch to another, run several at once — nothing about you moves with that decision except what you choose to send.

It's the difference between being plugged into one AI that holds everything, and being connected to a wide network of models, tools, and capabilities where you pick the best pieces — with no aggregated copy of you stored at any of them.

It isn't a competitor to the companies that make the models. They make them; this uses them. I'm not trying to replace anyone. I'm adding the one piece that was missing — a place between you and all of them that answers to you.

One person. I'm a disabled veteran, and I built this because I wanted it to exist — for me, and for the people I know who feel the same unease and had nowhere to go. It is self-funded: no investors, so nobody upstream is waiting for the day your data becomes the product. I'd rather run the company quietly and let the work speak. You'll find me in the community inside the product, and at info@privatae.ai.
