What is Okara AI?

Okara AI is an open-source chat interface that lets you work with multiple AI models while keeping your conversations encrypted. It's designed for people who need to discuss sensitive information, confidential documents, or proprietary work without worrying about data retention or third-party access. You can switch between different language models within a single conversation, compare their outputs, and maintain full control over your data. The encryption-first approach means your prompts and responses stay private by default, making it suitable for professionals in law, healthcare, finance, and other regulated industries.
