A private, local home computer

DecentAI

Private. Local. Yours.

The AI and your household services run on the device in your home. No account, no telemetry, no phoning home. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Announcing publicly on October 1, 2026. Kickstarter launches November 15, 2026.

Why DecentAI

Most "AI devices" are a subscription and a server farm with a friendly face. DecentAI is the opposite: a computer that lives in your house and works for the people in it.

Privacy

Private by architecture

Nothing is sent anywhere. The AI, the search, the files - every service runs on hardware you own, inside your home, and none of it calls home.

Ownership

Owned, not rented

You are not buying a device. You are buying ownership. The core experience has no subscription, and update checks happen when you ask, not when we want.

Honesty

Stated plainly

No account required. No telemetry. What the device does - and what it logs (nothing) - is stated in plain language, on this site and on the box.

A whole fleet of services, already installed

The local AI is the headline. The bundle is the point: the services a household actually uses, running on the same box, behind the same private front door.
