Urfael
We make friendly AI that stays on your side. Today that means an open-source assistant that runs on your own computer. Next comes Uru: a little AI with a face, a mood and a memory, made to come with you everywhere. We’re keeping it under wraps for now.
The assistant is free and open source (MIT). Uru is in development, and nothing is for sale yet.
Available now · Open source
A personal AI that runs on your own machine. It listens and speaks with local voice, keeps a searchable archive of your conversations, sets reminders and scheduled jobs, and helps you code with checkpoints you can roll back.

A little creature made of AI, with a face, moods of its own and a memory for what you choose to tell it. We’re building it into something small and beautiful that you carry every day. One shape is round. One is square. That’s all we’re saying for now.
Meet UruOur mark is ᚢ, Uruz, a rune from the Elder Futhark. It is often read as strength, health and vitality. We took it as a brief: make AI that leaves people a little stronger and a little better looked after.
We started with software, because that’s where trust is earned. The assistant lives on your machine, works for you, starts in its safest setting, and says plainly what hasn’t been tested yet.
Uru carries the same rules into something you can hold, and take everywhere.
Our AI works for the person it lives with. The assistant runs on your hardware, under your settings.
The safest setting comes first. Your archive and memory stay on your machine, and your messages go to the model you choose. You decide what to open up, and we tell you what each choice means.
We publish what’s lightly tested right next to what works. If we don’t know yet, we say so.
No dark patterns. Good technology should leave your day a little lighter.
The assistant is open source under the MIT license. Anyone can read the code, run the tests and tell us where we’re wrong.
The assistant’s code, tests and threat model are public on GitHub. Read them, run them, and open an issue when something’s off. A clear bug report is one of the kindest things you can send us.
Star the project on GitHub to follow releases, or write to us. We’d especially like to hear from designers, hardware builders, and anyone who has ever loved a small, well-made gadget.
