Your Own AI

Your Own AI is an open-source desktop application designed to run artificial intelligence models locally and privately on your computer. Unlike conventional cloud-based platforms, this tool processes all information directly on the user's hardware, ensuring that conversations, documents, and memories remain under their total control. It is a solution geared toward professionals, developers, and users who require privacy by design and a reliable offline alternative to commercial models.

The application's technology is based on local inference, allowing models to function without an internet connection. It utilizes Holochain to generate cryptographically signed and tamper-proof conversation logs, creating a secure and auditable memory base. Additionally, Your Own AI acts as an engine with an OpenAI API-compatible endpoint, making it easy to integrate local models into code editors, external agents, or custom scripts.

Among its core capabilities and practical benefits, the following features stand out:

• Private interaction with documents: It allows for the natural language analysis of contracts, medical records, or research. The system links every response to exact lines in the original source without the files ever leaving the device.
• Local programming assistant: The AI can access project folders, read files, and suggest edits under user supervision, recording every step in private transcripts.
• Confidential health management: By integrating specialized models like Google’s MedGemma, users can interpret lab results and medical scans in total privacy.
• Custom character creation: It allows for the development of AIs with persistent personalities and memories that reside on the machine, preventing external platforms from modifying or accessing interactions.
• Verifiable logs: Each conversation generates a signed receipt with document hashes and timestamps, which is independently exportable and verifiable.

The software offers an optional hybrid approach. While the priority is free local processing, it allows for connections to online frontier models for tasks requiring greater reasoning power or web access. In these cases, the tool uses a relay system that anonymizes the user's identity before sending the query. Being open source under the AGPL license, any user can audit the code to verify that data privacy is real and does not depend on simple usage policies. It is a versatile tool for environments with limited connectivity, such as airplanes or remote areas, ensuring constant productivity through the execution of high-performance local models.
