What it does

Pull your ethernet cable out and she keeps talking. EMMA runs on your own hardware — no account, no cloud, nowhere for your words to go. She remembers you across years and model swaps, acts on your files with undo and an audit log, and thinks while you sleep. Free for 60 days, Windows / macOS / Linux — no card, nothing to sign up for.

A private AI that lives on your computer, remembers you for life, and answers only to you. No cloud. No account. No one watching.
