The Manifesto

Reclaiming the Interface Between Human and Machine

The personal computer has been drifting away from its namesake. We believe AI should be an extension of your agency—not another surveillance subscription.

Sovereignty First

Your computer should belong to you. We build local-first systems that don't depend on cloud permission. Your data, your keys, your machine.

01

Radical Openness

Apache 2.0 licensed. No black boxes. The tools that control our systems must be audit-able, fork-able, and free forever.

02

Governed Autonomy

AI shouldn't be a loose cannon. Our 'Approval Ladder' ensures you are always the final authority, especially for destructive actions.

03

Agency for All

We aren't building a chatbot; we're building a new layer of the OS. One that understands intent and acts on your behalf.

04

Not Another Copilot

TerminaI is a System Operator—built for the SRE troubleshooting a production outage, the researcher organizing terabytes of data, and anyone who wants their machine to work for them.
