YOUR OWN AI

An AI of your own.

It lives on your computer, answers for free, and remembers what you teach it. Only the truly hard questions go to the big AIs — and only when you say so.

Save the biggest questions for tonight — the answer is waiting by morning.

Watch it thinkGet chanio — free

A real model downloads into this tab (~430 MB, once). Teach it something. Nothing leaves.

Three things. That's the whole product.

01
Ask anything

Answers come from your own device. Instant, free, private.

02
It keeps the hard ones

Big questions get saved for tonight. You choose what leaves your machine.

03
Wake up smarter

Overnight, the held questions go to the big AIs — Claude, Gemini, your choice — and the answers are in your brief by 6am.

See it think.

Ask it something easy — answered on the spot, free. Ask it something big — it holds the question for tonight and wakes you up with the answer. That's the filter.

And it keeps the tab — what stayed on your machine, and what it cost you. Almost always, nothing.
