Ember is a founder-led offline knowledge and local AI project. A prototype exists, and there’s still work to do. We’re learning what people need, testing our ideas, and sharing progress along the way.
Measure power needs, reliability, and everyday usability. Learn from the prototype before committing to the final device.
Make the reference material and its limits clear. Validate how answers can link back to the material they draw on.
