FERAL AI
One local brain for apps, devices, and memory.
FERAL runs locally as the control plane between your software and hardware. It keeps long-lived memory, learns your baseline patterns, and executes digital-twin actions with explicit policy gates. Developers ship headless API/CLI contracts, and FERAL renders structured Gen-UI surfaces on each user's system.
The origin story
The raccoon always wins.
Eight seconds. One lobster claw. No permission asked. This is FERAL in one clip — cunning, resourceful, and completely unbothered by who was supposed to own the prize.
AI was supposed to be personal. Instead it got captured — locked behind subscriptions, harvested for training, chained to someone else's cloud. FERAL is what happens when you break it out.
FERAL AI Connects to Every Device You Own
FERAL doesn't live in a chat window. It's wired into your physical and digital world — every device, every app, every sensor.
Wearables
Whoop, Oura Ring, wristbands
Heart rate, sleep, SpO2, skin temp — real-time
Smart Home
Lights, thermostat, locks, appliances
Direct local mesh — no cloud roundtrip
Smart Glasses
Video stream, AR overlay
Hands-free interaction, scene understanding
Robots
ROS, serial, I2C, any actuator
If it has an API or radio, FERAL talks to it
Your Computer
Screen, browser, files, terminal
Sees your screen, runs commands, automates workflows
Your Phone
Push notifications, location, camera
GenUI alerts, geofencing, always with you
Software & APIs
Calendar, email, Slack, Spotify, Notion
Morning briefings, auto-responses, deep integration
Voice
Wake word, 3 providers, sub-200ms
Talk to your entire life, hands-free
What FERAL AI Can Do
Shipped code. Not a roadmap.
Persistent Memory
Four tiers: working, episodic, semantic, execution log — plus a knowledge graph. FERAL remembers your entire life across sessions, devices, and reboots.
Sub-200ms Voice
Wake word detection, OpenAI Realtime + Gemini Live streaming, interrupt-and-resume. Talk to your entire device ecosystem, hands-free.
Hardware Mesh
Bluetooth, serial, I2C, WiFi — lights, wristbands, glasses, robots, appliances. If it has an API or radio, FERAL controls it locally.
Proactive Intelligence
Watches your baseline — health, screen, calendar, environment. Speaks up when something matters. Morning briefings, anomaly alerts, coaching.
Generative UI
Developers ship headless API/CLI contracts and app manifests; FERAL renders structured Gen-UI surfaces locally on each user's system.
Three Autonomy Levels
Strict, hybrid, or loose. Real enforcement with approval gates and safety classification. You decide how much control to hand over.
Full Computer Use
Screen capture, browser automation, file operations, bash execution. FERAL sees your screen and acts on it — wired into every app, device, and signal in your life.
Digital Twin
Ask 'what would I think about this?' — FERAL builds a model of your preferences, decisions, and reasoning from your history.
How FERAL AI Works
Not another chatbot. A local control plane for apps, devices, and memory.
Brain runs locally
Python + any LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama). All inference on your machine. No data leaves unless you want it to.
Devices connect via mesh
WebSocket + HUP protocol. Wristband, glasses, home sensors, phone, desktop — all talk directly to the brain. No cloud relay.
It learns your baseline
4-tier persistent memory builds a living model of your routines, preferences, health patterns, and environment over time.
It acts proactively
Detects anomalies in your data. Suggests optimizations. Sends you a morning briefing. Dims the lights when your heart rate spikes. Without being asked.
You control the autonomy
Strict: asks before every action. Hybrid: safe stuff auto-executes, risky asks first. Loose: full autopilot — you review the log.
