What is orkai?

On your machine — saved by your agent, owned by you.

Structured persistence

Connected agents save documents, plans, sessions, standards, and skills — typed entities on your machine.

Preferences that travel

User and agent preferences are global. How you work stays with you across Cursor and Claude Desktop.

Index code and data

orkai index repos and CSVs. Search documents without re-uploading every chat.

Who it's for

You work with an AI. orkai gives it persistent context — role by role.

Developers

Index repos, persist standards and plans, search_code with annotations — ship in Cursor.

Data analysts

Index CSV exports, query datasets in Claude Desktop — interactive meetings, same metrics every time.

Planners

Plans per project on your local DB — execute now or park for later.

Writers & researchers

Sources and drafts persisted by your agent — search without copy-paste archaeology.

What's included

Structured context your agent manages — on hardware you own.

Persistence

Your AI saves and updates context

FAQ

Do I need an OpenAI API key?

Only for embedding generation during indexing. Use OpenAI, Anthropic-compatible providers, Ollama locally, or bring your own vectors. Your key stays in ~/.orkai/.

Does my code get sent anywhere?

No. Parsing and storage are local. Embeddings may call your chosen provider's API (or Ollama on your machine). Indexed entities live in ~/.orkai/ on your disk.

How many devices can I use?

Trial: 1 device. Single-device lifetime ($49.99): 1 device. Three-device lifetime ($99): up to 3 personal machines (laptop, desktop, etc.).

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 7 days, full product access, 1 device, $0 checkout via Polar. When it expires, purchase single-device or three-device and run orkai activate <PAID_KEY>.

Can I use it with multiple projects?

Yes. Each indexed project gets its own category. Index as many repos as you want on that one licensed machine.

What if I switch AI tools?

Everything stays on your machine. Connect Cursor today, try Claude Desktop tomorrow — the same context travels with you.

What happens after the 1-year update period?

Your version keeps working forever. New major versions are optional $49 upgrades for another year of updates.
