For people who've tried building it themselves. Persistent memory. Runs locally. Under 5 minutes to set up. Your data stays home.
Every memory is preserved with the context behind it and the intent you gave it. An understanding of your life, not a record of it.
Runs locally by default. Nothing leaves your home unless you say so. No cloud sync, no training on your data, no subscriptions to their servers.
We built what you'd spend a weekend trying to configure — pre-installed, pre-tuned, and actually reliable. Plug in. Done.
aion captures life stories, preferences, and knowledge and passes them forward across generations. No other product does this.
