About
Why Ora exists.
AI has become extraordinarily capable and has nowhere to live. The work happens in a browser tab that closes when you walk away, on infrastructure sold as words on a page: no object, no origin, nothing you own.
Ora takes the other position. A machine you own, on your desk, holding your files and your keys, running software designed for the agents you set to work. The models themselves stay in the cloud, on an account you connect — because that is where they belong and Ora is not pretending otherwise.
Ora is at reservation stage. Parts of the story are real and parts are not written yet. This page keeps the two apart, and says which is which.
What we are building
A device, an experience, a connection.
Three pieces, and it matters which does what. Getting that division wrong is how AI hardware ends up over-promising.
- The device
A computer for your agents
A quiet machine that lives on a desk and stays on. It holds your files and the key to your AI provider account, and it is designed and assembled in the United States.
- The software
The experience that runs on it
Ora ships its own experience: somewhere to create agents, keep the work they produce, and schedule the automations that run while you are away.
- The connection
Your provider, your account
The AI models run in the cloud, on an account you connect with your own key. Ora does not run large models on the device and does not resell AI usage.
The architecture is set out in full on the technology page, and how the devices are made on the manufacturing page.
What we believe
Four principles, held in public.
These are the rules the product and this website are built against. They are checkable, which is the point of writing them down.
Show the thing
A hardware company should let you see the hardware. Ora leads with the object, not with a description of a category.
Say only what is true
If a figure is not confirmed, it appears as a marked gap rather than a convincing number. The gap is the honest version, and it is the one that can be closed.
Build it here
Ora devices are designed and assembled in the United States. The details of where and with whom get published as they are settled.
Restraint is the feature
One accent colour. Short sentences. No third-party tracking scripts on this site. Quiet is a decision, repeated.
Where things stand
The honest status of the company.
Not a roadmap, because a roadmap would need dates Ora cannot commit to. This is simply what is true today.

Not announced
The company details we have not published.
Who founded Ora, when, from where, and on whose money are all reasonable questions. None of them are answered yet, so none of them are answered here.
Each row names the fact that belongs in it. The marker stands in for that fact until it is confirmed, and then the marker goes away.
