Every always-on device and cloud pipeline is one more place your life is recorded, retained, and — eventually — leaked, sold, or subpoenaed.
Intelligence that runs on the device in your room, with nothing sent to a server, removes the data-at-rest an attacker or broker could ever reach.
People who run infrastructure live by one rule: never connect what you can't afford to lose. The same logic applies to your home — the safest device is the one that was never listening out to a server in the first place.
Aura runs entirely on the device in your room.
Wake word, speech recognition and the language model all run locally on a 16 GB on-device neural core — no cloud round-trip, no account, no server that ever hears a word. Custom AI hardware + Continuum OS, the first AI OS. Nothing leaves the room.
