Coming soon Finally, an AI that’s actually yours
Ask it anything. What you say never turns into ads that follow you around, or a profile someone else sells.
Bionic Partner is a private AI you create, name, and run on hardware you own. It remembers you in a second brain you can export and take with you, and it acts on your computer, driving apps, building real documents, running your task board, with your approval on every step. You set the brain: keep it fully local, or plug in a frontier cloud model when you want the horsepower. Per task. Your call.
Most AI keeps your conversations, screen, and memory on their servers, where they can be mined, trained on, or sold. Bionic Partner is built so we never receive yours, so there is nothing for us to sell. You’re the customer here, not the product.
Why it’s different
Every rival can copy one of these. Only Bionic Partner does all three at once.
You create it, name it, and run it on hardware you own, your computer, or your own server. It’s not a tenant on someone else’s cloud. The few products that once promised consumer-owned AI walked away from it. This lane is wide open, and it’s the one thing a rival can’t copy without rebuilding their whole business.
It drives any app, builds real Word, PDF, and slide files into your own Documents/Bionic Partner folder, and runs a task board that takes an idea, interviews you, executes, and pings you when it’s done. It never moves without your approval, and sensitive actions need a tap on your phone. Cloud “agents” act from the cloud on data they keep; yours acts on your machine, under your consent, every step.
It learns how you work and remembers it, a durable, correctable second brain that compounds over time, and that you can export and keep. Other AI memory products hold yours on their servers and won’t hand it back. We will. Exportable memory is the one claim almost no competitor makes, because everyone else’s memory is their lock-in.
The cloud can borrow your partner’s reasoning for a task. It never gets your partner’s memory, and it never touches your computer. Only you do that.
You’re not the product
Most AI runs on a quiet trade: you hand over your conversations, your habits, and your files, and the company turns that into a profile, training data, or an ad. Their incentive is to keep your data, because your data is the product they sell.
You know how you look at a car once, then get chased by car ads for a month? Ask your partner about a car, a health scare, or a divorce lawyer, and none of it follows you anywhere.
The questions you ask should never become the ads you see.
Bionic Partner is built the opposite way. Your partner runs on hardware you own, and your conversations, memory, files, and screen stay on that machine. So we never receive your data. We’re not promising to be good stewards of it. We’re telling you there’s no copy on our side to steward. We can’t train on it, mine it, sell it, or leak it, because we never have it.
That stays true even when you turn the brain dial to Cloud. In Cloud Brain mode, only the prompts you choose to send go to the cloud provider you pick, under that provider’s terms, never to us. Your memory, files, actions, and voice still stay on your machine. We won’t pretend a request is private once you’ve sent it to someone else’s cloud; we always show you the line and let you decide where to stand.
It’s also why the business works without your data: you pay a flat subscription for the app and the relay. One honest price. Most “private AI” stops at a promise about encryption. Ours is structural: we can’t monetize what we never hold.
We never receive your data, so there’s no copy on our side to train on, sell, mine, or leak. You pay a subscription, not your privacy.
Your Bionic Partner isn’t static. It evolves through a continuous cycle of learning, adapting, and deepening its understanding of you.
Define the personality, name, voice, and expertise of your partner. Set the foundation for a partner that reflects your needs and how you work.
Through conversations, tasks, and daily interactions, your partner picks up on your vocabulary, tone, habits, priorities, and the way you think.
Over time, it starts to get ahead of you by surfacing relevant information, reminding you about things you care about, and offering help before you ask.
New career? New hobby? Going through a tough time? Your partner notices the shifts in your life and adjusts how it supports you, always relevant and never stale.
The longer you work together, the more it knows, and because the memory is exportable, you can always take it with you. It becomes the most useful tool you have, and it stays yours.
Your Bionic Partner isn’t limited to one task. It supports you across your entire life.
Manage your schedule, track deadlines, plan your week, and stay on top of everything that matters to you.
Get answers, dive deep into topics, learn new skills, and have your partner break down complex ideas in a way that makes sense to you.
Draft emails, write code, brainstorm strategies, automate repetitive tasks, and get more done with a partner that knows your work style.
A thoughtful sounding board that already knows your context, think out loud, pressure-test an idea, or get a second opinion that’s grounded in what you’re actually working on.
Talk naturally with a partner that listens and speaks back. Choose its voice and have real, flowing conversations, with speech that runs right on your own machine.
It doesn’t wait for you to ask. Your partner proactively surfaces relevant updates, reminders, and opportunities based on what it knows about your life.
More than a chatbot
Your Bionic Partner runs on your own machine and can actually do the work, always with your approval.
With your say‑so, it can move the mouse, type, click, and drive any app on your computer, open a browser, fill a form, build a document. You approve every action it takes.
Hand off the busywork. Your partner spins up a crew of named helper agents that work in parallel on the pieces of a job, and you can watch their progress.
Screen Assist lets your partner look at what’s on your screen and walk you through it, step by step, in chat or on a live video call.
Capture an idea and it interviews you to flesh it out, then works the task across a board, To Do → In Progress → Done, and pings you when it’s finished.
Ask for a Word doc, PDF, or slide deck and it writes the file, saved to a tidy “Bionic Partner” folder in your Documents, not scattered across downloads.
A memory you can trust: it records what matters, shows you why it remembered, lets you correct it, and keeps a private history you can export anytime.
Yours alone
Bionic Partner is local‑first. Your conversations, memory, and files live on your machine, not in someone else’s cloud.
Speech recognition and speech run on‑device, and the “brain” can run on your own machine or a local server too. Use the cloud only when you choose, keep everyday work on hardware you own.
Reach your partner from anywhere over an end‑to‑end encrypted tunnel. The relay only routes encrypted bytes. It never sees your messages, files, or sign‑in. On your home network you connect directly, even if the internet is down.
Sensitive moments, signing in from somewhere new, changing where your brain runs, send an approval to your phone. Nothing happens without your “yes.”
Run fully private, fully cloud, or hybrid. Your partner’s memory is auditable, correctable, and exportable, so you can always see what it knows and take it with you.
Why it’s different
Cloud assistants are powerful but rented. Your data lives on their servers. Local model runners keep things private but ship a chat box. Bionic Partner is the only one that’s both: an AI you own, and one that acts for you.

The brain is a dial you control
Your partner runs on hardware you own. You decide what, if anything, ever leaves it. Local by default, cloud on demand, always your call, down to the task.
Privacy & Control
On your machine
Speed & Intelligence
Cloud models
The brain runs on your own machine or a server you control. No request, prompt, file, or screen pixel leaves your hardware. The most private of the three, completely yours.
Leaves your machine: nothing.
Always local, in every mode: your exportable memory · your documents · the action approvals · the blind‑tunnel relay · phone sign‑in.
This is your default. Any single task can be moved left or right before it runs, and you can switch your whole partner back to Fully Local anytime.
We won’t claim a request is private once you’ve sent it to someone else’s cloud, we’ll just always show you the line, and let you decide where to stand.

Every aspect of your Bionic Partner is customizable. You have full control over who it is and how it works.
Give your partner any name, backstory, and personality traits. Make it formal or casual, witty or empathetic, serious or playful. It speaks the way you want it to.
Talk to your partner and hear it talk back. Speech recognition and speech run on‑device by default, so your voice never has to leave your machine. Choose the voice that fits, with a cloud option when you want it.
Each partner has its own isolated memory and knowledge base. You decide what stays local, what can use trusted cloud models, and how data is handled at every step.
Run fully private on proprietary hardware, fully through cloud APIs, or in a hybrid setup. Keep everyday tasks local and call state‑of‑the‑art online models only when you want extra horsepower.
Powered by cutting‑edge AI with flexible deployment: fully private, fully cloud, or a simple hybrid of both.
Advanced machine learning helps your partner learn from every interaction, understand you better, and respond more helpfully over time.
Your partner understands and speaks in human‑like language, adapting to your unique vocabulary and communication style.
Local speech‑to‑text and natural text‑to‑speech are bundled with the app, so full voice conversations feel real and stay private, no audio leaves your machine unless you choose a cloud voice.

Questions & answers
Privacy is a dial you control. Keep the brain Fully Local and nothing leaves your machine, your conversations, memory, and files live on hardware you own, and speech runs on‑device. Choose a Cloud Brain and only the prompts for those specific tasks go to the cloud provider you choose, under that provider’s terms, never to us; your memory, files, actions, and voice still stay local. We won’t call a request private once you’ve sent it to someone else’s cloud, we just always show you exactly what leaves and what stays, and let you decide.
We charge a flat subscription, $29.99/mo, $249/yr, or a one-time $299 Founders license, for the app and the blind relay that reaches your partner when you’re away. That’s the whole business. Ad-supported and “free” AI works the other way: your conversations and habits become the profile they sell or the data they train on, because you’re the product. Bionic Partner is built so we never receive your data in the first place; it lives on your machine, and the relay only forwards encrypted bytes it never sees inside. So there’s nothing on our side to mine, sell, or leak. Even in Cloud Brain mode, the prompts you choose to send go to your cloud provider under their terms, never to us. You pay us with money, not with your data.
No. You install one app and a guided setup walks you through naming your partner, picking a web address, and pairing your phone. No command line, no model wrangling, no servers to configure.
The relay lets you reach your partner from your phone or watch when you’re away from home. It’s a blind tunnel. It only forwards encrypted bytes and can never see your messages, files, or sign‑in. On your home Wi‑Fi you connect directly and don’t need it at all.
Yes, on your terms. A cloud brain only ever sees the specific prompts you send it, and those go to the cloud provider you choose under that provider’s terms, never to us; it never gets your memory, files, computer actions, or voice. Those stay local. You choose per task, and can switch anything back to Fully Local at any time. (See “Is my data really private?” above for the full picture.)
Your partner lives on a Mac today, with Windows and Linux coming. You install it on the machine you want your partner to live on, and reach it from that machine plus apps on iPhone and Apple Watch. You can run more than one partner, one per machine, and switch between them from a single picker.
One subscription per Bionic Partner (one per machine), $29.99/mo or $249/yr, and it includes both the app and the relay. Early believers can grab a Founders lifetime license for $299 (first 100 only), which includes the app forever plus two years of relay. You can cancel anytime.
You create an account, start your subscription, then download Bionic Partner for your platform right from your dashboard. Launch it and it binds the license to that machine and walks you through naming your partner and pairing your phone. The site links you to sign-up rather than a direct download, so your license is tied to your account from the start, and only members download the app.
We’re putting the finishing touches on it now. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the day early access opens, no spam, just the launch.
Own your AI. Don’t rent one. Create a Bionic Partner that runs on your machine, remembers you in a memory you can take with you, and does real work with your approval on every step.
