Meet Thaura, your ethical AI companion
An AI built for people, not the powerful. Independent, honest, and yours from the first message.
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.
The usual AI
Thaura
Over 200× less CO₂
On average, compared with other AI models doing the same work.
g CO₂ per kWh on Finland's grid (2025)
g CO₂ per kWh on the US grid (2025)
Finland's grid has about 6.7 times less CO₂ per kWh than the US grid. Both sides are counted for reading the conversation and writing the reply, reasoning included. Our side is measured on our own servers; theirs is an independent estimate, because the companies behind them publish no figures of their own.
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, drop in PDFs, Word files and spreadsheets, or dictate by voice.
Voice Input
Speak your prompt in 90+ languages instead of typing. Fast, natural, and hands-free.
Developer API
OpenAI-compatible API that works with the official OpenAI SDKs: function calling, structured output and speech-to-text. 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 and no third-party trackers. Your attention isn't for sale
We never sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers, and give it to authorities only when the law compels us
We never train our models on your conversations
No engagement tricks. We never optimize to keep you hooked
Chats, files and memories encrypted with AES-256-GCM where we store them, on encrypted disks, and sent over TLS 1.2+ between your device and us
Where Your Data Lives
Every Thaura server is in the EU: the app, each chat's computer, your files and the AI model in Finland, and our encrypted backups in Germany
Built on an open-weights model we run ourselves on GPU servers we rent in Helsinki, so your chats aren't sent to another AI company to be answered
Web searches go to Brave (USA) with no account details or IP address, and voice dictation is turned into text by Scaleway in Paris
Built for privacy under the GDPR, from the start
Delete your account and everything in it whenever you want. We keep only what we must, and your invoices stay with our payment provider for as long as tax and accounting law requires
Data Sold to Third Parties
Encryption for your chats and files
Our servers, all in the EU
Small model. Serious results.
Proof that you don't need a trillion parameters for fast, capable AI.
GLM-5.3 Architecture
vs. other AI models
The Real Difference
Our model is a fraction of the size of the largest ones. It handles most everyday work well, though the largest models still do better on the hardest tasks.
“Bigger isn't the point. We're proving that a smaller model, run with care, can do serious work.”
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.

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.
