About EtherHall
Built after dark, tested in real life, and carried forward by a community committed to privacy‑first local AI.
Our Mission
EtherHall builds local‑first AI systems for people and organizations that cannot rely on the cloud due to privacy, legal, or operational constraints. We believe in empowering individuals and businesses with AI that runs on their own hardware and keeps their data private.
How EtherHall started
It began with one person, working a salaried retail job and building AION in the midnight hours with a simple intent: make powerful, private AI useful for everyday people.
Built for the community at large
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 scale and grow
From one workstation to every household that wants it.
Portable & interchangeable
Run AION from a portable SSD so you can use it alongside your current system without replacing anything.
What we value
- Ownership — your data and tools belong to you.
- Simplicity — fewer knobs, more results.
- Transparency — clear behavior, no mystery calls home.
