Kai – a private, offline AI "second brain" that remembers you(no cloud)

I built Kai because I was tired of assistants that forget and cloud tools that mine my data. Persistent memory: what you teach Kai sticks. Local-first: data never leaves your device; no telemetry. Transparent: memory graph shows what it knows and why. I’m looking for early users who care about local, privacy, and explainability. The landing page has a simple waitlist; I’ll onboard in small waves and share progress.

Kai – a private, offline AI "second brain" that remembers you(no cloud) launched on August 27, 2025 with 5 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

    I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…
