Apps & Agents That Run Where Your Data Lives
KnotBots.ai builds on-device AI applications that respect privacy, work offline, and deliver real utility — no cloud dependency, no data harvesting.
From the makers of KnotTheory.ai — the on-device AI tax company.
Our Apps
Intelligent software that runs where your data lives — on your device.
Tess-Hoshi
Record conversations, meetings, and lectures on your iPhone with a live on-screen transcript — 100% on-device speech recognition. Now on the App Store.
Swapétit New
Your kitchen sidekick for iPhone — ingredient substitutions with exact ratios, cups-to-grams conversions, and a Novelty Chef that invents recipes from what's in your pantry. Coming soon to the App Store.
Tesseract-Prime
A macOS personal AI assistant powered by local LLMs via Ollama. Agentic tool orchestration, MCP integration, multi-model support — all running privately on your Mac.
Machine Intelligence
Our research into on-device AI, vision-language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic workflows — pushing the boundaries of what runs locally.
Why On-Device AI?
Your data never leaves your device. Period.
Privacy First
No cloud uploads. No telemetry. Your recordings, photos, and personal conversations stay on your hardware — encrypted and under your control.
Works Offline
Full functionality without internet. Record and transcribe in airplane mode. Run AI models on your Mac without a network connection.
No Subscription Tax
Own your tools. Local LLMs mean zero API costs — the silicon you already own does the work. Our app subscriptions cost less than a coffee per year.
Partnerships
Working with companies that share our conviction — AI belongs where your data lives.
MoolAI is building the agentic factory for enterprise back-office operations. They help companies automate workflows that span systems like Workday, SAP, and ServiceNow using AI agents that operate across HR, Finance, Legal, and IT — not prototypes or pilots, but production-grade agents that are stress-tested, governed, and live in weeks.
For organizations with strict compliance requirements, MoolAI also offers its own scalable on-premise AI infrastructure: a dedicated box that sits inside the customer's walls. The agents run locally, the data never moves, and it scales as the workload grows. For regulated industries, that's the only deployment model that actually gets past legal and security.
That philosophy is exactly why we work together. KnotBots.ai builds AI that runs on your device; MoolAI builds AI that runs inside your enterprise — same principle, different scale. Founder Gopal Anantharaman serves on MoolAI's Advisory Board, and the two companies collaborate on private, locally-deployed machine intelligence.
