Chats.
Every conversation, stored in a database that runs inside the app, on your laptop.

Nothing leaves.
Private AI that lives on your laptop.
KChat is the AI workspace that lives on your laptop. Your chats, files, and memory stay on your disk. Only the question goes out, and no one keeps it.
macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon · Windows 10 or later on x64
Your work stays
on your disk.
KChat is a real desktop app with its own database inside. There is no cloud copy of anything you type or upload.
Files.
PDFs, Word, Excel, scanned pages. Kept in the app's own folder on your disk, not on a server.
Memory.
What KChat remembers about you and your work. Stored locally. Yours to read, edit, and delete.
Locked by your disk encryption, FileVault on Mac and BitLocker on Windows. Your sign-in lives in the system keychain. We host none of your content, so there is nothing of yours for us to leak.
The best of local.
The best of cloud.
Privacy, security, and confidentiality on your side of the line. Scale, price, and the best models on the other. You do not have to choose.
The detail, for your IT teamYours stays yours.
Chats, files, and memory live on your disk. No server holds a copy, there is nothing to sync, and nothing of yours for anyone to leak.
The thinking happens in the cloud.
Only the question goes out, with the context that one answer needs. It is processed under zero data retention and forgotten the moment it is answered. No logs, no training on your data.
The best models, without the GPU.
Cloud inference scales, costs a fraction of hardware on your desk, and gets better every time a new model arrives. We switch it underneath. Your app never changes.
Everything a
serious desk needs.
One model, tuned for work. No menus to learn, no keys to paste, no settings to get wrong.
Documents
Drop in PDF, Word, and Excel files and talk to them. Scanned pages are read too.
Memory
Tell it once. It remembers across chats. Switch memory off for any single chat.
Web search
Cited answers from the live web when you want them. Off unless you switch it on.
Find anything
Search every old chat by a word you remember from it.
Works offline
Your whole history opens without a network. Only a new answer needs one.
Export
One button. Every chat and file goes to a folder any human can read.
Enterprise-grade, without the enterprise
Made for companies.
Sold like an app.
Everything a security review asks for, and nothing an employee has to configure.
Team seats and single sign-on arrive in version two. Rolling KChat out to a whole company? Talk to us.
Sign in with email.
Verified email sign-in. See every laptop signed into your account and sign them out from the browser.
One model. Zero setup.
No model picker, no API keys, no temperature sliders. When a better model arrives, we switch it underneath. Your app never changes.
One number.
A monthly plan, shown as a single percentage used. No tokens to decode, no surprise bill. Run out and you top up on the spot.
Installs itself. Updates itself.
Signed installers for Mac and Windows. Installs per user with no admin rights, and keeps itself current.
The first piece of
something larger.
Confidentiality, zero data retention, and owning your own AI are the ground.
What we are building on it is ambient AI: there for you around the clock, proactive rather than waiting to be asked, carrying enough context about your work to upgrade what you already have. KChat is the first snippet of that infrastructure, shipped now so the foundation is real before the rest arrives.
Where this goes: Karya InfraNothing leaves.
Your work stays where you are.
Public beta
KChat is in public beta. It is not signed yet, so the first launch needs one extra confirmation. Tell us what breaks: support@the-karya.com.
