One private AI for your work, your life, and your home.
It runs on your own computer, and what it knows stays there.
Install Corax · See it · What works today · Docs
Every AI assistant today asks you for two things: to learn how to use it, and to hand over your life to its servers. Corax asks for neither.
You just talk to it. Type or speak, like you would to a person. No prompts to learn, no workflows to build.
It remembers. People, plans, decisions, things left open. Tell it once, and it brings it back when it matters, without you repeating yourself.
It gets things done. Calendar, email, documents, your home. It checks, prepares, follows up, and hands longer jobs to specialized agents while you do something else.
What it knows stays yours. Your memory, database, and agents live on your machine. Not on ours. Not on anyone's.
No lock-in. Use a local model, or the cloud provider you prefer, and switch whenever you want. The memory stays the same.
The model is not your AI. Your memory, context, tools, and decisions are. Corax keeps them yours.
At work
- Reads and helps with email, documents, and the tools you already use
- Prepares briefings, does research, and follows up on open items
- Hands off longer tasks to specialized agents while you do something else
In your life
- Remembers people, plans, and things you've told it before
- Keeps track of your calendar and commitments
At home
- Connects to Home Assistant, so you can ask what's happening at home in plain language
- "What's on today?" Corax checks your calendar, pulls the relevant context from memory, and gives you a short briefing.
- "Remember we decided to move the launch to March." Weeks later, it brings that decision back when it's relevant.
- "Research this and tell me when you're done." An agent works in the background while you do something else, and reports back.
- "Is everything off at home?" With Home Assistant connected, it tells you.
Overview — a voice-first home screen: today's calendar, agents at work, and a mic to just talk.
Agents — the specialized agents Corax can delegate to, each with its own role.
Integrations — the tools and services Corax connects to, with visibility into what each one can access.
Devices & Channels — pair a new device with a QR code (no terminal required), and talk to Corax from Telegram or Discord.
More in the dashboard tour.
- Your memory, database, and agent runtime stay on your machine.
- No account is needed to use Corax.
- External services (Gmail, Home Assistant, a cloud AI model) are contacted only when you choose to connect them.
- With a local model, your conversations never leave your computer. With a cloud model, the text of each request goes to the provider you picked; your memory still stays with you.
- Back up everything by copying one folder. No export step.
Personal assistants and coding tools usually keep separate memories. Corax gives them one, under your control.
Through MCP (Model Context Protocol), the memory Corax builds is available to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw and any MCP-compatible client. Claude Code and OpenClaw also get automatic, hands-off memory through native lifecycle hooks. You stop explaining the same context twice.
The engine is written in Rust, runs as a single self-contained binary, and stores memory in a local database. Setup: INSTALL.md.
Status: alpha, early testing. We're looking for a small group of early testers. If something breaks, confuses you, or should work better, start a discussion or open an issue.
Working now:
- Dashboard — chat, manage agents, integrations, devices and channels, and inspect memory, in a local browser UI
- Chat — text and voice, plus Telegram and Discord
- Agents — research, writing, home automation, scheduling, memory; delegated to from chat
- Integrations — Google (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Tasks, YouTube), Home Assistant, and any MCP server you add
- Models — local (Ollama, LM Studio) or cloud (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Together, Mistral, OpenRouter, Gemini)
- MCP server — accepting connections from supported coding clients
- Remote access — reachable from another machine over a private network or VPN
- Platforms — Linux, macOS, and Windows
On the roadmap: WhatsApp and email as messaging channels.
