Okara

What is Okara?

Okara is a secure research and writing workspace designed for professionals who require strict data confidentiality. Unlike standard chatbots that process data in plaintext, Okara employs a zero-knowledge architecture where encryption keys are generated on the user's device, ensuring that neither the platform nor model providers can access conversation history or use it for training. It consolidates top-tier open-source models—such as DeepSeek, Llama 3, and Mistral—into a single interface, allowing users to switch between models mid-conversation without losing context. The platform integrates real-time web search and secure file analysis, making it a comprehensive tool for sensitive workflows.

Key Features

• Zero-Knowledge Privacy Architecture

  Utilizes client-side key generation and end-to-end encryption, ensuring that decryption of chat history occurs exclusively on the user's device via a personal passcode.

• Unified Context Memory

  Enables seamless switching between different models (e.g., from DeepSeek for reasoning to Mistral for writing) within a single conversation thread while preserving full context.

• Private Open-Source Model Access

  Hosts over 20 leading open-source models, including Llama 3, Qwen, and DeepSeek, on private servers to guarantee that data is never exposed to third-party API training loops.

• Integrated Research & Search

  Features built-in search capabilities across the Web, Reddit, X (Twitter), and YouTube, allowing users to pull real-time information directly into their encrypted chats.

• Secure File & Image Analysis

  Supports encrypted uploads of PDFs, DOCX files, and images for summarization and analysis, alongside image generation capabilities using models like Diffusion 3.5.

Use Cases

• Legal & Compliance Drafting : Attorneys and legal teams can draft sensitive contracts and summarize case files without risking attorney-client privilege or data leakage.
• Clinical Research Analysis : Medical professionals can interpret research papers and summarize clinical notes while ensuring patient data remains encrypted and HIPAA-compliant.
• Proprietary Code Development : Developers can debug snippets and architect systems using coding models like Qwen without exposing proprietary IP or source code to public model training.
• Confidential Financial Strategy : Advisors and consultants can analyze market trends and client portfolios within a secure environment that prevents sensitive financial data from leaving the private workspace.
