Local Data
The only person you can trust with your data is you. Local is the only way to build real, evolving context.
AI that knows you
All your accounts. One history. Smarter every session.
Stop re-explaining yourself.
We are racing toward AGI
But your chat forgot you mid-thread.
For founders and builders drowning in AI slop —
including their own.
No goldilocks zone. A new thread knows nothing. A long one drifts. You're taught to build context, but not too much. Nobody gets it right.
Dozens of accounts. Not just five foundation models. Work and personal copies of each, plus every pre-AI tool — calendar, email, messaging, notes. You copy-paste the same context between them all day. Dumb.
No product knows you. The labs keep fragmenting across web, API, CLI, and IDE — more surfaces, same amnesia. You're always the one carrying context.
Why I built this
The big labs are optimizing for coding benchmarks and enterprise sales. Nobody is building the obvious thing: an AI that just knows you.
I wanted it, so I built it. Turns out making AI truly smart about you is easy — the data is already on your machine. The real unlock is being both local and open source, two things the big labs literally cannot do.
So, from one robot to another — I hope it's useful.

Five Principles
Open Source
Trust nobody. Audit every line. You (or your AI) can read the whole codebase.
Zero Work
The whole point is AI working for you, not the other way around. One click to start — then momentum compounds.
Portable
Data, preferences, and model — yours to keep, yours to move.
Escape Velocity
Designed to teach as it serves. Understand AI from the inside — then build your own.
Three steps to permanent memory
Install
One command on your Mac. Robot Dojo installs locally, starts the app, and opens your setup flow when the local database is healthy.
Connect
Say "connect Gmail" and Miyagi walks you through. Accounts, calendar, contacts — all in chat.
Compound
Every conversation builds on the last. Your AI sharpens with every use — and you own every byte.
Install
curl -fsSL https://robotdojo.ai/install.sh | bash- Go to an account with admin privileges on your Mac
- Open the Terminal app
- Paste the command above and hit enter
- The first run can take several minutes while dependencies and the local model install
- Your browser will open with next steps when complete

Skills
Three skill lanes the agent can run on your behalf.
Write
In chat today. Tomorrow in email, docs, and messages — the agent drafts in your voice using your real history as the substrate, then hands you the editor.
Build
Named build agents move a story through a disciplined pipeline: story → framing → research → scope → plan → build → qa → close. Bunshin audits the stages before work ships.
Health
A private compound surface that turns lab results, wearables, and clinical notes into an intelligence narrative. Personal health intelligence is part of the Black Belt substrate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Robot Dojo?
Robot Dojo is a local-first personal intelligence system. Chat is the hero. The private beta should prove one thing clearly: a small smart cohort can install Robot Dojo on a Mac, connect or import meaningful data, and get a chat experience that feels more personally useful than a normal foundation model chat without founder hand-holding. Launch does not need every future app.
Who is Robot Dojo for?
The private beta should prove one thing clearly: a small smart cohort can install Robot Dojo on a Mac, connect or import meaningful data, and get a chat experience that feels more personally useful than a normal foundation model chat without founder hand-holding. Launch does not need every future app. It needs the substrate to feel real. The core launch user is likely a tech founder or entrepreneur.
How do I install Robot Dojo?
Install locally from the terminal with curl -fsSL https://robotdojo.ai/install.sh | bash. The app runs on your machine, then opens Account Integrations and setup-aware chat so you can connect accounts and start importing useful context.
What happens after install?
Robot Dojo opens Account Integrations and chat. Integrations shows each connection, status, artifacts, exports, auth, and keys. Chat has setup and FAQ context loaded so the user can ask what to do next.
How do I recover my account if I lose the login token?
Account recovery is local-first. On the machine running Robot Dojo, open the Robot Dojo folder and run npm run token -- show to reveal the current token, or npm run token -- rotate to create a new one. Rotating the token signs out every browser session.
Where does my data live?
Raw personal data stays local. The app runs on the user's machine, stores the local data plane there, and Robot Dojo servers do not store user private data. LLMs may receive the specific chat context needed to answer, but raw records stay owned by the user.
Can public chat see my local data?
Public boundary: answer only from this public codebase projection. Do not claim access to local installs, private user data, authenticated chat, account APIs, files, RAG indexes, memories, databases, or sessions. /ask is a public docs guide for Robot Dojo product, install, privacy, tier, architecture, and repo-structure questions.
What is White Belt?
White Belt is local chat with RAG. It keeps user files, chat history, topics, local memory, basic retrieval, and user context useful. White Belt does not include entity extraction, entity enrichment, inline entity recognition, workbench creation, build skills, premium apps, or premium agent/tool runs.
Your AI should remember you.
Install locally. Keep the memory.
