Like ChatGPT, but it runs on your own computer
and answers from your own files.
Connect your AI to the apps you already use
You already use AI for the safe things: a social post, tidying up an email. The genuinely useful work sits in files you’d never paste into a chatbot. Client records, contracts, quotes, staff manuals. That’s the work Ngaro is for.
“Which of our quotes last year included scaffolding?” Ngaro reads your invoices, PDFs and spreadsheets and answers from them, then tells you which document it got it from. No more digging through folders for something you know you’ve already answered.
Point it at your policies, manuals and procedures, then hand it to your team. New starters ask it how the job is done. You stop being the bottleneck for the same question a hundred times.
The quote, the client email, the report, all written from your own past documents, so it comes out in your format and your language instead of generic AI mush. It’s seen how you did it last time.
Summarise a long contract Compare two versions Pull the numbers out of a report Answer client questions
Every file you paste into a cloud chatbot leaves your building: your client records, your contracts, your margins. Ngaro exists so that never has to happen again.
Not a promise about how we handle your data, but an architecture in which we never receive it. Here is what that actually buys you.
0 documents
reach us, on any tier. Your files, the index built from them and every conversation stay on your disk, so there is nothing here for us to lose.
100% open models
The models that answer you are open: anyone can download them, inspect them and run them without us. They are the Qwen3 family, and they are not ours to switch off.

Yours, forever
If Ngaro ever shut down, self-hosted AIs keep working, free of charge, permanently. The model is already on your disk.
You approve every stage, and you always see the whole plan before anything runs. Close the tab halfway through and you’ll pick up exactly where you left off.
Describe the job in your own words. You get back a plan: what it will read, where it will build, the rules it will hold to, and what it will refuse to do. Nothing runs until you approve it, and you can change any part of it first.
Drop in PDFs, Word files, notes or links, or let it research and gather sources for you. Then sign off the complete list, marked by where each item came from, before any of it is built in.
Chat with the real model in your browser, and set the name, greeting and colour the people using it will actually see. Change anything and try again as often as you like: your subscription is one flat monthly price, so rebuilding costs the same as not rebuilding.
Install the Ngaro app on Windows or Mac and sign in. Choose self-hosted and it downloads the model onto your machine; choose hosted and it calls a larger one we run. Either way your documents and every conversation stay on your disk, and the app is where you manage your subscription, your devices and the chats you share between them.

Private by default, connected the moment you say so. Your finished AI can hand out a key that speaks the shape every tool already understands, so it talks to your other software without us building a single integration.
Same assistant, same documents, same disk. The only difference is where the model doing the thinking runs.
One AI only Rate limited Revoke any time Trains nothing
The models that answer you are open weight and independently verifiable, so the part that produces your answers is a part you can check against the public release.

We’re not affiliated with any of the tools named here. They speak HTTP, and so do we. Nothing on this list needs our permission, or theirs.
The private preview is open, and we’re letting people in a handful at a time. Put your name down and you’ll be among the first to build an AI that never leaves your machine, plus you’ll hear the launch date before anyone else.
