sudo Be a beta tester

rethinking who owns your ai

Own your intelligence. Skip the setup headache.

sudo is a small machine that plugs into the wall and becomes an agent that's actually yours — not a login, not a subscription, not somebody else's server.

how we got here

Three chapters of AI you never quite owned.

01
self-hosted

Full control, if you could reach it

full control

OpenClaw and Hermes proved you could run an AI on hardware you owned. The catch: a server, a config file, a free weekend. Ownership existed — almost nobody could reach it.

02
the convenience bots

Easy to start. Hard to call yours

their servers

The Muses, the Groks, the assistant in every app. Setup became a sign-up form — but your memory and personality live on their servers, on their terms.

03
right now

AI is becoming your life's command center

up to you

The same assistant drafting your replies is starting to read your invoices, your health data, move your money. The question isn't which AI is smartest — it's whose infrastructure your life runs on. And it should be yours.

the actual decision

Hand your life to a company. Or build an asset that's actually yours.

Every "AI life OS" still asks you to rent the OS. Stop paying and your agent — its memory, its personality — stays exactly where you can't reach it.

That's not a teammate. That's a lease you can never buy out.

Renting the AI OS

  • Memory lives on their servers
  • Cancel and it's gone — or stays, without you
  • Model, price and terms change on their schedule
  • Reachable only through their app
vs

Owning your agent

  • Memory lives on hardware you hold
  • Unplug it, it's still yours, still whole
  • You pick the model, the price, the terms
  • Yours over WhatsApp, browser, terminal, anywhere

Your AI. Your Rules.

the ai race never stops

This month's smartest model won't be next month's.

Chasing the leader by hand means re-teaching a whole new assistant, over and over. Sudo just swaps the engine — the memory stays put.

your memory & personality — unbroken, the whole way through

meet sudo

Your first starter kit for an AI that grows old with you.

Plug it into power. Leave it on a shelf. That's the entire installation.

$

Local model included — or bring your own key

It ships with a model running on the device, free forever, zero internet required. Want more power? Plug in your own API key to any cloud model — Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, whichever. Either way, it's yours.

⇄

Swap the brain, keep the memory

Claude, GPT, DeepSeek — whichever is sharpest or cheapest today. Same context, same personality, every time. Routed automatically, or fixed by hand.

▭

Pay for what you use, nothing else

Cloud calls are metered as you go. No seat, no tier, no "upgrade to keep your own history." Use your own key and pay the provider direct if you'd rather.

⇪

Back it up wherever you trust

Sync your agent's memory to GitHub, Drive, wherever you already keep things that matter. It's a folder on a machine you hold, not a walled garden.

↗

Move it when you upgrade

Outgrow the hardware, carry the agent to the next box. You upgrade the machine — never the relationship you've built.

Two ways in — bring your own Raspberry Pi and we'll send the source code, or let us build and ship you a ready-to-go unit for just the cost of hardware and shipping. No extra charge during the beta, either way.

We'll email you the two options right after you sign up. No spam, no list-selling, ever.
