I'm Victor — 22, self-taught, building private personal AI from Saint-Martin, a long way from any tech hub.
Privacy isn't a feature. It's the starting point.
I started from a simple discomfort. The more personal AI becomes, the more it knows about us — our doubts, our habits, the things we'd tell no one. And almost all of it lives on someone else's servers. We've accepted that the price of intelligence is handing over our private lives. I don't believe that trade is necessary anymore.The phone in your pocket can finally run real intelligence on its own. So I'm building the alternative: personal AI that knows you and never leaves your device.
The idea was never the hard part. Making it real was.
This isn't a landing page looking for a product. To get here, I trained language models from scratch to understand them from the ground up, then built and tested TAU's on-device memory until the thing it does best — remembering you, privately — actually worked. I validated it before writing a line of the app. The idea was never the hard part. Making private, on-device memory feel like a real companion is. That's what I've spent months on.
Built to make you more capable — not more dependent.
I build the way I want the product to behave — honestly. TAU is made to leave you better off when you put your phone down, not to manufacture a habit that keeps you on it. No engagement tricks. No data sold. That isn't positioning. It's the reason I started, and the line I won't cross.
