Aru Ai

About the startup

Meet Aru AI: a deeply personal, privacy-first AI assistant that lives in your browser but acts like a native app. Tired of AI platforms tracking your chats or locking features behind expensive paywalls? Aru AI is built differently. It provides a rich UI for your favorite LLMs while ensuring that your data, chats, and files never leave your device. 🔒 100% Privacy & Local Storage Aru saves absolutely nothing on external servers. All your chats, custom settings, and embedded memories are stored purely on your device inside an encrypted SQLite database. You own your data. 🧠 Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) Aru doesn't force a specific model on you. Connect your preferred AI using API keys (Gemini, OpenRouter) or run completely local models via Ollama/LM Studio. ⚡ Key Features: Semantic Memory: Aru learns about you over time. Tell her your name, allergies, or hobbies, and she will store them as embeddings locally. She uses this context to give you highly personalized answers. Smart Artifacts & Canvas: Ask Aru to write code, create analytical charts (via Chart.js), draft documents, or even code mini-games like Tetris. These open in a dedicated Canvas window and can be saved to your personal Offline Library for future use. Age-Restricted Modes: Share your AI with your family safely. Aru features password-protected Child, Teen, and Adult modes. In Child mode, Aru won't just solve homework—she will guide the child through the learning process step-by-step and block inappropriate topics. Heuristics & Personality: Aru has a mood based on your interactions! She uses a mathematical expression to adjust her tone and replies with custom UI stickers. Be nice, and she’s friendly; be rude, and she might get sarcastic. Built-in Tools: Process local files (PDFs, docs, code), check the weather, or read custom RSS news feeds directly inside the chat. Fast & Offline-Ready: Built in pure JS with PWA support. Install it on your desktop or mobile device and access your local database anywhere. Who is Aru AI for? For developers, privacy advocates, parents, and AI enthusiasts who want total control over their AI experience, costs, and data. Try Aru AI today. Connect your model, set up your local database in seconds, and experience what a truly personal AI feels like!
