cognira is an independent, self-learning, low-energy AI assistant built by Thomas Conway. Teach it a preference, a fact, or a word and it is saved to your private memory immediately — every reply that used a memory shows you which one, with a one-tap Forget. Its own model, cognira Retrain 12B, is served through MLX from a single 16GB iMac, not forwarded to someone else’s API. Free to use, no credit card. No ads, no selling your data.

• Self-learning private memory: teach it in one sentence, see exactly what it saved, and remove any memory with a one-tap Forget
• Independent model: cognira Retrain 12B, served by the developer from a single 16GB iMac using Apple MLX
• Runs locally too: cognira Entity brings the same models to your own computer, so chats and memory stay on your disk
• Free plan with no card required; Pro £15/month and Max £30/month
• Promo code "kindness" for one month of Pro or Max free
• Guarded learning loop: only safe, useful examples are used, updates must pass checks first, and rejected examples are listed in a public ledger
