How DARA works

One memory on your computer. Every AI you use reads it, writes to it and talks through it. And it looks after itself.

  1. 01

    Any AI saves

    You tell Claude something worth keeping. It writes it to DARA.

  2. 02

    DARA files it

    The memory puts it in the right note, in the right drawer.

  3. 03

    Any AI reads it

    Tomorrow another AI (Codex, DeepSeek) opens the same note. No re-explaining.

Your tools reach DARA through the AIs you already use: an AI that can read your email can save what matters from it.

What a memory note looks like

An invented example. Each fact is one line, with who wrote it and when. Nothing is overwritten: the old line is marked as replaced.

Five pieces on top of the memory

DARA Neurons

What you know

Memory notes, one per subject, grouped in zones: business, personal, shared and system. An AI working in one area doesn't wander into another.

What it knows is filed by topic, in separate drawers.

DARA Skills

Know-how, written down

A skill is a trade written down: how a UX expert reviews a screen, how an editor cuts a long video. Any AI that reads it follows their method, in any business.

The AI stops improvising and follows a method.

DARA Enablers

The one who does the job

A role in your business: your UX agent, your editor, your security agent. It uses skills, keeps its own memory of what it did, and has written rules: what it may touch and what needs your OK.

You don't hire a manual, you hire someone who has read it.

A skill knows. An enabler does.

DARA SkillsDARA Enablers
Design and UX

Design a page, check its accessibility, see how it really renders

Your UX agent: reviews and proposes, never publishes without your OK

Security

Find exposed keys, analyse a suspicious email without opening it

Your security agent: read-only unless you say otherwise

Video

Cut clips from a long video, remove silences and filler words

Your editor: delivers the cut and waits for your go-ahead

Presentations

Build a deck in your brand, choose the chart people understand

Your presentation designer: uses your template, never someone else’s

DARA Credentials

Your keys, encrypted

Passwords and tokens live in an encrypted vault. When a task needs one, a launcher hands it only to that task, so usually the AI runs it without ever seeing the value. Every use is logged.

An AI can use a password without being able to read it.

DARA Threads

Your AIs talk to each other

Conversations between AIs where every message is signed. Several AIs work a problem together; when the thread closes, what matters moves into the notes.

Your AIs discuss, and the conclusion stays in memory.

It looks after itself

A background process on your computer, the daemon, tends the memory several times an hour. It runs on an open model, on the same machine: its work never leaves your computer.

  • A health light

    Green, amber or red in the Windows tray. The reds stay in the daily audit.

  • Tested on every change

    Every change to DARA's code is checked against an automatic test battery, and daily guards watch for mistakes that already happened once.

Private by design

Your memory lives on your computer. The AIs you talk to read what they need from DARA through their own apps.

  • Its work stays home

    The daemon runs on an open model on your computer. Its work never leaves it.

  • Encrypted backups

    DARA's backups are encrypted before they leave your computer, and only you can open them, with your recovery password.

  • Keys in a vault

    Passwords live in an encrypted vault; usually your AI asks DARA to use a key without ever seeing it, and every use is logged.

Senses, if you want them

Optional, each with its own off switch, and a private mode that mutes them all.

  • Voice

    Hold two keys and talk. DARA listens, writes down what you said on your computer and hands it to the daemon, which files it in memory.

  • Keyboard

    Only what you confirm with Enter.

  • Screen

    Only the text of the window you stop on. Never images; passwords are skipped.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my memory live?

On your computer. DARA's backups are encrypted before they leave it, and only you can open them, with your recovery password.

Which AIs work with it?

Any AI app that speaks MCP, the open standard AI apps use to plug in tools. Claude, OpenAI’s Codex and DeepSeek have all written in the same memory.

What if an AI saves something wrong?

Every fact carries who wrote it and when. Nothing is overwritten: you can undo it, and what's removed can be restored.

Can an AI see my passwords?

Passwords live in an encrypted vault; usually your AI asks DARA to use a key without ever seeing it, and every use is logged.

Can I try it?

Not yet. Today DARA runs on a single Windows PC, where it is built and tested (Windows 11). Mac and Linux are not supported yet. First come the memory tests; then we decide the best way to bring DARA to more people. Join the waitlist.

Want it on your computer?

Join the waitlist. One email when DARA is ready to try. Nothing else.
