THE MANIFESTO
Sovereignty by Design
Kovalent AI was born from a simple realization: in the age of intelligence, privacy is not a feature, it is the foundation.
Absolute Ownership
Your data, your weights, your infrastructure. Kovalent is the orchestration layer, but the intelligence remains entirely yours.
Zero Trust Infrastructure
We operate on a "Zero Knowledge" principle. We cannot see your queries, your configurations, or your results.
Sovereign Compute
By leveraging private cloud nodes and decentralized mesh networking, we bring frontier AI to your doorstep.
The Three Pillars
1. The Private Mesh
We don't use the public internet to connect you to your AI. We build a private, encrypted WireGuard-based mesh between your devices. Whether you're using our CLI or our iOS Shortcuts, your data travels through an invisible tunnel that never touches Kovalent's central servers.
2. Local-First Experience
We believe that the best AI is the one that feels local. Our Knaix engine is optimized for high-performance streaming and unified state. When you interact with a node in Tokyo from your office in New York, it should feel as fast as a script running on your own CPU.
3. Community Governance
Digital sovereignty is a collective effort. We are committed to open-sourcing our core orchestration engines and maintaining a transparent billing model. Your trust is our only currency.
