CIRIS is a free, open-source AI assistant with visible reasoning, privacy-preserving traces, and a public ethical framework. Available on iPhone, Android, desktop, and pip.
Open source, free, privacy-preserving, and built for accountability.
Ask it the things you'd ask any AI assistant. The difference is you can see exactly how it reasoned, verify it didn't drift from a public ethical framework, and run it on a phone in 228 megabytes. Plug it into Home Assistant for fully open-source home control. Production deployments today include a Discord moderation bot and mobile apps across 29 languages.
An open-source assistant for the questions you'd otherwise put to a closed-source model. Polyglot across 29 languages — including low-resource ones — and runs in 228 MB on a commodity Android phone.
Every decision is signed, replayable, and inspectable. Four conscience faculties evaluate each action before it executes. The reasoning trace is part of the product, not buried.
Plugs into Home Assistant for fully open-source home control. Discord moderation bot in production today. CLI, HTTP API, and SQL adapters available. MCP, weather, and navigation integrations on the way.
Get CIRIS running through pip, desktop, or mobile. Use a model you trust. Keep your data under your control.
Read the public ethical framework behind the runtime. Principles are explicit, published, and open to scrutiny.
Use the hosted path, mobile apps, and platform surfaces when you want to evaluate, integrate, or deploy faster.
An agentic system you can inspect is easier to keep accountable than one you can't. CIRIS makes reasoning visible, keeps the framework public, and uses privacy-preserving traces to measure the shape of behavior as systems scale.
We make the safety claim in public and put it next to alternatives. Completion corridors, refusal boundaries, and behavioral evidence are all inspectable.
The app and framework are open source and free. The trust model is meant to survive commercial pressure, not depend on it.
Privacy-preserving trace schemas and a live compendium let outsiders inspect aggregate behavior without exposing private reasoning content.
See the public case for why CIRIS is the safest and most ethical AI in production today — checked against other approaches, with the receipts.
Read what the current trace corpus supports, what we are learning, and how the public research loop works.
Inspect a concrete example of how the runtime reasons, checks itself, and decides to act or defer.
