Profile

Hi HN,For the past year, I’ve been building a personal AI assistant from scratch. I was frustrated by two things: cloud-based LLMs using my conversations for training, and the lack of persistent, cross-chat memory in most UIs.I wrote Aru Ai entirely in Vanilla JS as a PWA. There is no backend, no telemetry, and no data collection. Everything lives in your browser.Here is how it works under the hood:Local Storage: All chats, settings, and vector embeddings are stored locally in a SQLite database on your device. Bring Your Own Model: It connects directly to Gemini, OpenRouter, or local models via Ollama/LM Studio. Semantic Memory Module: It extracts facts about you (e.g., allergies, preference

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
