EtherHall

Built after dark.
Tested in real life.

One person. A salaried retail job. Midnight hours. A simple intent: make powerful, private AI useful for everyday people.

Our Mission

Private AI that runs on your machine.

EtherHall builds local-first AI for people and organizations that cannot rely on the cloud — due to privacy, legal, or operational constraints. Your data stays with you. The AI grows with you.

How it started

AION was born from a simple observation: powerful AI should not require a monthly payment to a cloud provider. It should run on your machine, know your context, and grow with you. What started as a midnight project became a working system — and a company.

What drives us

Principles, not features.

Ownership

Your data and tools belong to you. Not a company. Not a cloud provider. You.

Simplicity

Fewer knobs, more results. Power should not require a PhD to access.

Transparency

Clear behavior. No mystery calls home. You can see what AION is doing and why.

Community-first

AION grows step by step with its community. Your usage and feedback shape what ships.

Local-first

Runs on your machine. Data stays with you. Network features are opt-in and transparent.

Built to grow

From one workstation to every household that wants it — without compromising what makes it special.
