What Virtues is.
Virtues is two things at once. A premium home server that holds the data of your life — emails, messages, calendars, health, transactions, journals — under your roof. And the operating system that turns that data into self-knowledge.
The result: a private AI that learns your patterns, writes an honest record of your days, and grounds every model you use in who you actually are. Less brilliant stranger. More personal intelligence.
We're still building.
These docs aren't finished yet. We're heads-down finalizing the software, and the real reference — setup guides, schemas, the API, the app SDK — will land here alongside the server's first units, which we're targeting for July 2026. In the meantime, here's what we're working on and where it's all headed. We're genuinely excited to show you.
The heart of it is simple: a data lake that lives at home. We take the raw mess of your accounts and abstract it away from rows and tables into something you'd actually recognize — the clean narrative of your day. That narrative is what makes the rest possible. It's how a model can reason about your life from your actual life instead of a generic profile, and it's where personal intelligence really begins.
We're building it for two kinds of people at the same time. If you never want to touch a
terminal, you'll plug the server in, connect your sources, and just live your day with it — no
command line required. And if you do, it's your machine: full ssh access, root over
your own data, a stack meant to be read and extended. A big part of that is what we can't do. Virtues has no path into your device — no remote access, no backdoor. That
isn't a promise in a policy, it's how the thing is built.
For people who want to own every layer, there'll be a full DIY mode — the whole stack, self-hosted on your own hardware, no Virtues server required. And whatever model you want to point at your data, you can: local weights on the server, or a hosted model you trust. Your lake stays the ground truth; the AI is just the lens, and you can swap it whenever you like.
One honest note on the Virtues API. For now, a few things a home server can't do alone — OAuth proxies and a handful of hard-to-reach APIs — run through us, which you connect to as a Virtues customer. We think of it as a bridge, not a destination. As more models and capabilities move on-device, we'll slowly deprecate it over time. The direction is always the same: more of your life living under your roof, less of it leaving.
Stay in the loop.
We'll send a short note when the docs and the first units are ready. One email a month, nothing more.
