Okara is a privacy-centric AI workspace and secure chat platform designed for professionals, offering seamless interaction with over 20 robust open-source AI language and image models within a single cohesive environment, ensuring users maintain context while switching between models, researching, creating content, or analyzing documents. The platform guarantees that all discussions, uploads (such as PDFs, DOCX files, spreadsheets, and images), along with workspace memory, are safeguarded through encryption at rest, are processed via privately hosted open-source models, and are never utilized for AI training or disclosed to third parties, thereby providing users with comprehensive control over their data through client-side key generation and genuine deletion. By integrating secure, encrypted AI chat with real-time search capabilities across platforms like web, Reddit, X/Twitter, and YouTube, Okara allows users to seamlessly incorporate live information and visuals into their workflows while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive data. Furthermore, it facilitates shared team workspaces, making it easy for groups, such as startups, to collaborate through AI threads and maintain a shared understanding of context. This collaborative feature enhances team productivity and innovation by allowing real-time input from multiple users.
