This next year is going to see a much bigger privacy wave in AI and beyond. Some conversations in life only make sense when the door is closed – the same should be true for personal AI. There should always be an option for it to be genuinely private, and we’re betting hard on that future. With Silo, we’ve been building as with privacy as non-negotiable. That’s why this release leads with encrypted sync, and with afaik is the first truly private deep research system you can actually use day to day. Encrypted sync makes it so that your chat history is end-to-end encrypted and only decrypted on your devices. The infra only ever sees ciphertext. The trade-off is real: if you lose every device and lose your keys, you lose your history too. Silo started as a private chat interface to strong models. With the new webapp, encrypted multi-device history, and private deep research, it’s turning into an encrypted workspace for self-owned cognition. Deeper dive in first reply.
