Show HN: A privacy first companion AI
I'm flabbergasted that people share their most sensitive messages with companion AI apps. Read their privacy policies. They can read your messages. They also have your email. That combination is a serious security threat. Replika was just fined €5M in Italy over exactly this. Yes, this is something I built. All inference runs on-device, no account, no chat data leaves your phone. Happy to defend every claim. www.friendai.pro https://apps.apple.com/au/app/friend-ai-private-chat/id67616...

updated the AI tools library, new tools, a whole new category, and a new home
been getting DMs asking about tools that don't fit the usual "AI coding assistant" box. so i finally did something about it. tolop.space (yes, new domain — more on that below) what's new: added Atoms :- multi-agent app builder where 7 AI roles (PM, engineer, architect, SEO specialist, data analyst, researcher, team lead) collaborate to build your product. has a genuine forever-free plan with 15 credits/day, not a time-limited trial. added Leadline :- finds Reddit posts where people are actively looking to switch tools or asking for recommendations, with AI-drafted replies included. starts at $9/month which is the cheapest Reddit lead tool i've found. but the one i'm most excited about is Transcrisper :- and it's the reason i added a whole new category. niche tools :- for single-purpose utilities that are completely free, do one thing well, and don't fit anywhere else. Transcrisper is a good example of what belongs there. free, unlimited audio/video transcription that runs entire
Built cross-model persistent memory - told GPT-5 Nano I live in Bahrain, asked Sonnet 4.6 where I live, it knew instantly
https://reddit.com/link/1svixo0/video/hgwrueuekdxg1/player No tricks, no copy-paste. Two completely different AI models, separate conversations - one remembers what the other was told. The way it works: every message gets embedded and stored. When you open a new chat with any model, your memory is injected into context automatically. GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek - they all share the same memory layer. So when I told GPT-5 Nano "I live in Bahrain" and then opened a fresh Claude Sonnet 4.6 conversation and asked "where do I live?" - it said "Based on your memory, you live in Bahrain 🇧🇭" Live on asksary.com now submitted by /u/Beneficial-Cow-7408 [link] [comments]
