LAIKA
Your AI. Your data. Your intelligence.
Your AI. Your data. Your intelligence.
You're renting intelligence. Paying monthly to access AI that learns from you but gives you nothing back.
Production-grade engineering. Security-first design. Obsessively tested.
Everything you need to own your AI experience
Deep, Main, and Fast tiers with automatic escalation. Complex tasks get powerful models; simple queries stay cheap.
Cost OptimizedCapability-based access control, encrypted vault for secrets, OS-level sandboxing. Zero access by default.
Zero TrustMarkdown files with YAML frontmatter. Hot-reload on change, skill chaining, capability enforcement per skill.
ExtensibleTOML automation pipelines with cron schedules, webhooks, file watchers, and message triggers. Visual flow builder.
AutomationPer-tier spending caps with alerts at 50%, 80%, 95%, and 100%. Never get surprised by AI bills again.
No Surprises5 learning layers: outcome tracking, routing optimization, preference learning, skill generation, prompt refinement.
AdaptiveTalk via CLI, web dashboard, Telegram, Discord, or any custom connector. Same AI, everywhere you need it.
OmnipresentQueue messages when offline, process when back. Local Ollama models work with zero internet connectivity.
ResilientOne executable, all features. Skills and dashboard embedded. No Docker, no complex setup. Just run it.
Simple5 crates, clean boundaries, single binary deployment
Right model for the right task. Never overpay for simple questions.
Multi-step problems, architecture decisions, deep analysis, creative work
Conversations, explanations, everyday coding help, content generation
Simple queries, formatting, classification, intent detection
From daily tasks to complex automations — Laika adapts to how you work
Code reviews, debugging help, architecture discussions, and documentation — all without leaving your terminal or IDE.
Wake up to a personalized summary: calendar, priorities, news in your field, and what needs attention today.
Deep dive into topics with an AI that remembers your knowledge level and builds on what you already understand.
Draft replies in your voice, summarize long threads, and prioritize what actually needs your attention.
Track spending patterns, get budget alerts, and receive insights about your financial habits — all locally, all private.
Natural language control for your devices. "Turn off everything except the bedroom" just works.
Blog posts, social media, documentation — write in your authentic voice, not generic AI-speak.
Ask questions about your documents. "What did I write about X last month?" gets an actual answer.
"Opus teaches your local model.
Your local model becomes Opus.
Opus becomes unnecessary."
— The path to owned intelligence
From renting cloud AI to owning your personal intelligence
Use cloud LLMs normally while Laika logs all interactions. Build up 1,000-5,000 high-quality conversations that represent your actual usage patterns.
~$20/monthTrain tiny embedded models from your data. Tier classifier for routing, intent detector for skills. These run in 0.1ms — essentially free.
$0 runtimeFine-tune Llama 8B (or similar) with QLoRA using your collected conversations. Your personal model, running locally via Ollama.
$5-20 one-timeWeekly re-fine-tune cycle. Cloud handles edge cases, local learns from the corrections. Knowledge transfer from expensive to cheap.
$5-10/monthLocal model handles 95%+ of your tasks. Cloud only for genuine edge cases. You own the weights, the data, the intelligence. Forever.
~$2/monthWatch your AI costs drop as your local model learns
