Meet Thaura, your ethical AI companion
No ads, no investors, no training on your data. An AI that does the work for you, on a secure computer of its own.
How You Can Use Thaura
Files, research, apps, data, your own computer and your projects. See what it actually does, not what it claims.
The difference is who it answers to.
One of these answers to advertisers. The other answers to you.

Thaura
AI That Doesn't Cost the Earth
The biggest AI models burn staggering amounts of energy, and most of the labs behind them won't even publish their footprint. We built the proof it doesn't have to be this way.
Light by Design
A mixture-of-experts model that uses only about 16B parameters per token does the job with a fraction of the giants' computing power. Published estimates put typical large-model replies at several times more energy, before reasoning modes multiply it further.
Heat That Doesn't Go to Waste
In Finland, data centers warm homes. Our GPU provider feeds server heat into district heating instead of venting it into the sky.
Clean Power, On the Record
Our GPUs run in Helsinki on hydro and wind under renewable supply contracts, on a grid that averaged 26 g CO₂ per kWh in 2025 (Fingrid), among the cleanest in the world.
Active Parameters
Less CO₂ (est.)
Renewable
“Efficiency isn't just about speed. It's about the planet.”
We came from a revolution. So we built one.
Two brothers from Syria who know what it costs when the powerful own the tools. Thaura is us taking them back, for everyone.
Syrian Engineers
Two brothers who left Syria before the war. They build for the people Big Tech overlooks.
Independent by Design
No investors, no ads, no agenda. Built to answer to the people who use it, not shareholders.
Power Back to People
Every line of code is about giving people genuine control over their data and their tools.
Why We Built Thaura
“We grew up watching the powerful decide everything: who gets heard, who gets watched, who gets left out. We built Thaura to put that power back where it belongs, with you.”
Thaura Founders
All the power. None of the catch.
Every chat gets its own computer. Thaura searches, reads, runs code and hands you real files, connected to the tools you already use. Everything you'd expect from a serious AI, built on ethics we put in writing.
A Computer for Every Chat
Each chat runs on a secure computer of its own on our servers in Europe: 2 processors and 8 GB of memory, walled off from every other chat. Thaura installs what it needs and runs code there. It sleeps when you step away and wakes with your next message.
Real Files, Not Just Answers
Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint decks, PDFs, charts, code and whole websites. Open them beside the chat to preview, then download them.
Your Computer, When You Say So
With the desktop app, Thaura can work on your whole computer: read and edit your files, run commands, and move files between your computer and the chat. Manual mode asks before each change; Auto mode doesn't.
Connected to the Tools You Use
Connect Thaura to the apps and services you already use in one click, including tools made for our community. You choose which ones each chat may use.
Searches and Reads the Web
Private search through Brave, whole pages read when it needs them, and every claim linked to its source.
Projects
Group chats and source files into one workspace. Custom instructions, shared context. Every chat inside picks up where the last left off.
Persistent Memory
It remembers what matters about you and your work, and can look back through your past chats. See what it keeps, or turn it off anytime.
Artifacts & Sharing
Interactive pages, apps and dashboards that run right in the chat. Share any artifact, or a whole chat, as a read-only link.
Skills
Teach Thaura a way of working once, and it uses it whenever it fits. Built-in skills make polished documents, spreadsheets, decks and charts.
You Approve What It Does
In Manual, Thaura asks before it changes a file or runs a command on your computer, or acts through a connector. Switch to Auto and it gets on with the job.
Long Chats Keep Going
A 150K-token context window holds long documents and conversations, and when a chat grows long, Thaura summarizes it and carries on.
Incognito Chats
Chats that stay out of your history and your memory, and are deleted when you leave.
Sees, Hears, and Reads
Show it photos and screenshots, send audio to transcribe, drop in PDFs, Word files and spreadsheets.
Voice Input
Speak your prompt in 90+ languages instead of typing. Fast, natural, and hands-free.
Developer API
OpenAI-compatible API with function calling, structured output, speech-to-text, and full SDK support. Build ethical AI into your applications.
Available Everywhere
Web, desktop (Mac, Windows, Linux) and Android, in eight languages. Your chats follow you from one device to the next.
Proof, not promises.
We don't just claim to be ethical. We prove it: a public constitution, EU servers, and a no-training policy you can hold us to.
You're Not the Product
No ads, no trackers, no behavioral profiling. Your attention isn't for sale
We never sell or share your data, not with advertisers, data brokers, or governments
We never train our models on your conversations
No engagement tricks. We never optimize to keep you hooked
Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256-GCM)
Data Sovereignty Guaranteed
All data is stored and processed only on EU servers, under EU jurisdiction
Built on an open-source model that we run ourselves on GPU servers we rent in the EU, so no third-party AI provider ever sits between you and Thaura
Fully independent, EU-based infrastructure that we run ourselves, with no investors behind it
GDPR-compliant by design, not as an afterthought
Delete your data permanently and completely, whenever you want
Data Sold to Third Parties
AES-256-GCM Encryption
Data Residency, Always
Small model. Serious results.
Proof that you don't need a trillion parameters to deliver fast, world-class AI.

The Real Difference
Our entire model runs on a single server. Frontier models run on data centers full of them, and most of the labs behind them publish few or no measured environmental figures. We publish our numbers and our assumptions, and a Thaura reply is estimated to use several times less energy, with none of the drop in quality.
“Efficiency isn't a compromise. It's a revolution. We're proving that the best AI isn't the biggest, it's the smartest.”
The people want it back.
Thaura isn't just an AI company, it's people taking back tools that were never built to serve them. You're one of them now.
Tech for Palestine Incubator
Part of a global network building ethical, independent alternatives to surveillance-driven tech.
Independent AI
Not a user, not a data point. A person who chose an AI with a conscience, and helped it exist.
Shaped by You
Built by two brothers and shaped by the people who use it. No boardroom, no investors, no shareholders steering the direction. Just the people it's for, and their feedback.
This is where you take it back.
An AI built for people, not the powerful. Yours from the first message.
