A full walkthrough of Ashwatthama running locally: asking in your own words, memory, your notes and privacy.
Core principles
01 · Presence
Ready before you finish the thought.
Listening for your voice. No loading screens, no wake-up delays.
02 · Intelligence
It doesn't follow a script. It thinks.
Genuine reasoning that understands context, and follows your mind rather than a script.
03 · Memory
It remembers you, permanently.
Your work, your preferences and your past conversations build into a deep understanding over time.
04 · Privacy
Nothing ever leaves.
By default, every AI computation happens on your hardware. Your voice, memories and diary never touch a server.
What it is
An AI that belongs to you.
Ashwatthama isn't a web app you log into. It's a desktop presence: an AI operating companion that integrates with your computer, speaks and listens in natural language, reads your screen and learns from every interaction.
You ask it to draft an email, and it does. You ask what's on your screen, and it describes it. You tell it something important, and it remembers, permanently, privately, on your machine.

- You
What did I discuss last Tuesday about the project deadline?
- Ashwatthama
You noted the backend needed two more days and mentioned coordinating with the design team on Thursday. You also flagged the authentication flow as incomplete.
- You
What's on my screen right now?
- Ashwatthama
You have a code editor open with a Python file, which looks like a route handler. There's also a browser tab showing pull requests.
- You
Set a reminder for 4pm to review that PR.
- Ashwatthama
Done. I'll notify you at 4:00 PM.
Why it exists
Intelligence should serve the individual.
The world has accepted that AI must live in the cloud. We reject that premise.
Cloud AI watches you.
Every conversation you have with a cloud assistant is recorded, analyzed and stored on someone else's servers. Your thoughts become a product.
Ashwatthama protects you.
Your voice never leaves your machine. Your memories stay in your home. Your data is yours alone: encrypted, local and invisible to the world.
Intelligence without compromise.
You shouldn't have to choose between powerful AI and privacy. Ashwatthama proves you can have both: a genuine reasoning companion that lives entirely on your hardware.
Forever yours.
No subscriptions. No usage limits. No vendor lock-in. Download once, own it forever. Always present, never demanding tribute.
Capabilities
What Ashwatthama does for you.
Everything you'd want from an AI, without any of the tradeoffs.
Sees your screen
Ask what an error means or to summarize a page. It reads your screen visually and understands the context without you copying anything.
Permanent memory
Remembers names, preferences, past decisions and ongoing projects. Ask what you discussed last Tuesday and get a real answer.
Desktop control
Control your system by voice: adjust volume, launch apps, manage brightness, switch windows. Your computer finally listens to you.
Document intelligence
Show it a PDF, a receipt or a scanned letter. It reads the text, extracts the meaning and answers questions about it instantly.
Reminders and tasks
“Remind me in 20 minutes to send that email.” Natural-language scheduling that fires at the right time, and a spoken briefing of your day when you ask what's on.
Research assistant
Searches the web, synthesizes information and gives you a spoken summary, so you can keep working instead of reading ten tabs.
Coding companion
Explain code, identify bugs, describe what functions do and navigate your project by voice, entirely offline, learning your codebase over time.
Private journal
An encrypted personal diary, activated by voice. Your entries are searchable and never readable by anyone but you.
Remote access
Your computer, anywhere.
Pair your desktop once, then control it from any browser or Android device. Two-layer authentication means your machine is never exposed to the world, only to you.
Remote desktop streaming
See and control your paired computer from anywhere. Real-time screen capture with low-latency WebRTC streaming: your desktop, in your pocket.
Terminal execution
Run commands on your remote machine through a secure shell. Every command is authenticated, audited and sandboxed to your trusted devices only.
File operations
Browse, download, upload, move and delete files on your remote system. Preview files and transfer them securely over your authenticated session.
Clipboard sync
Copy on your phone, paste on your desktop. Bi-directional clipboard sync keeps your workflow seamless across every screen you own.
Two-layer security. Layer 1 authenticates your identity. Layer 2 verifies your device with a unique access key. Both must pass before any remote command is executed, and every action is audited.

Privacy
Your machine. Your data.
Privacy isn't a feature added on top. It's the architecture. The AI runs locally, the memory is stored locally and the voice never leaves.
Voice stays on-device
Your microphone input is processed entirely within your computer. The audio never leaves your machine, not even for a millisecond.
Encrypted at rest
Diary entries, memories and conversation transcripts are encrypted at rest using industry-standard algorithms. The master key lives in your OS credential vault, not in any file and not on any server.
No telemetry, ever
There are no analytics calls and no error reporting services. The only background request is an update check, which you can turn off, and every request the app makes is listed in Settings → Privacy.
Works fully offline
Voice, reasoning, memory and desktop control all run offline. The internet is only used for features you explicitly ask for, like web search, or the optional Cloud mode you switch on with your own key.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Straight answers about hardware, privacy and pricing.
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), 8GB RAM minimum, any modern CPU. Recommended: 16GB RAM and a dedicated GPU with 4GB+ VRAM for the fastest experience. Core voice and AI features run on CPU-only if you have no dedicated GPU.
