Aoraki is the tallest mountain in New Zealand. In Maori, it means "cloud piercer."
We thought that was the right name for what we're building.
The entire AI industry sits behind a cloud. Your conversations, your data, your memory — stored on servers you'll never see, owned by companies that can change the terms whenever they want. You rent access. You never own anything.
Aoraki pierces through that.
A box on your desk. An agent that runs locally. Intelligence that routes to the cloud only when it has to — and comes back. Your data stays where you can see it. Your memory compounds over time instead of disappearing when you close a tab.
That's it. That's the whole idea.
