Private by construction
With a local model, your book, your answers, and your voice never leave the machine. Nothing to leak, nothing to retain.
Local-first AI applications
JMNI Labs builds AI applications that run on hardware you own — no data sent to someone else's cloud. Our first is Recitation, a private AI professor that turns any textbook into a complete course.
Recitation
Most AI tutors answer questions. Recitation teaches: it reads your book, designs the syllabus, lectures section by section, assigns problems, grades them — and remembers where you left off.
Any textbook — PDF, text, or Markdown. Chapters, tables, and figures are indexed on your machine.
Units, lessons, and objectives built from the book's own structure, paced to your level and prior courses.
Streamed lectures that stop for questions, check comprehension, and cite the pages they draw from.
Graded problem sets with hints and explanations. Mastered concepts are tracked across every session.
Why local-first
Textbooks, lecture notes, internal manuals, student records. The things people most need to learn from are often the things they can't — or shouldn't — upload to a third party.
With a local model, your book, your answers, and your voice never leave the machine. Nothing to leak, nothing to retain.
Answers come from your book first, with page citations. The professor is built never to invent a source.
A laptop running Ollama, a server down the hall, or a cloud API you trust. Weak local models are supported gracefully.
No per-seat meter for individuals, no deprecations, no terms-of-service surprises. It keeps working offline.
Who it's for
Work through the textbook you always meant to finish — with a professor who never runs out of office hours.

JMNI Research
Behind the products is our research lab: six NVIDIA GB10 systems where we run frontier open-weight models across switchless multi-node rings — and record every result.
It keeps us honest. Recitation is designed around what local models actually deliver, not what a cloud API promises.

Field Notes
Recitation is in private preview. We're onboarding individual learners, and a small number of schools and teams as design partners.
