Overview
More than just chatbots, these companions combine knowledge with personality. They can answer questions, provide in-depth reports, or offer quick conversational replies depending on how you’d like to interact. If your question requires the latest data, Your Own AI’s built-in web search ensures that your companions can provide up-to-date and reliable answers, all while maintaining their unique voice.
Privacy is at the heart of the platform. Every user gets their own secure cloud server with a custom subdomain (like yourname.yourownai.net), ensuring that your interactions are accessible only to you. Unlike most AI platforms, Your Own AI doesn’t store or share your conversations, offering the closest experience to running AI on your own machine, but with the added convenience of easy access from anywhere.
Whether you’re looking for guidance, companionship, or a trusted partner to help you think, reflect, and grow, Your Own AI provides a personalized and private way to interact with AI that feels meaningful and human.

some personalities feel too similar. I'd like to see more variety and better memory.
I found the AI easy to use after watching the intro video on youtube. I like the conversational nature. These Personalities are engaging. The report feature is useful.

Yes, you can choose how your AI responds. Each companion can give short conversational replies or longer, detailed reports.
Our default AIs start out in chat mode, but if you start your query with "Write a report" or "What's the latest" then the AI will give you a detailed report.
You can edit the AIs in the AI Console to change their default response length between Chat and Report.
The ability to change the default chat type for both our default and custom AIs is available in the AI Console.
What AI models does Your Own AI use?
🛠️ 1

Our main Large Language Model (LLM) is a privately hosted version of DeepSeek R1 0528. We chose this model because it's the best open source model available.
When a question you ask is deemed to require up-to-date data from a Web search, then the Perplexity API is queried. No personal data is sent to Perplexity, so that information is always anonymous.
Do the AIs have memory or save chats?

Not Yet
Your Own AI is a privacy-first AI service, so we won't store your private conversations in a database like most AI services do.
We're working towards implementing a service that will give your AIs memory and save your chats to read later on, but with world-leading privacy tech. Sign up for the mailing list to be the first to know when we launch it.
