Local-first AI applications

Capable AI that stays on your machine.

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

Not a chatbot. A course.

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.

Upload your book

Any textbook — PDF, text, or Markdown. Chapters, tables, and figures are indexed on your machine.

Get a curriculum

Units, lessons, and objectives built from the book's own structure, paced to your level and prior courses.

Learn interactively

Streamed lectures that stop for questions, check comprehension, and cite the pages they draw from.

Prove it

Graded problem sets with hints and explanations. Mastered concepts are tracked across every session.

Why local-first

Your material is yours. It should stay that way.

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.

Private by construction

With a local model, your book, your answers, and your voice never leave the machine. Nothing to leak, nothing to retain.

Grounded, not guessed

Answers come from your book first, with page citations. The professor is built never to invent a source.

Any model you choose

A laptop running Ollama, a server down the hall, or a cloud API you trust. Weak local models are supported gracefully.

Yours to keep

No per-seat meter for individuals, no deprecations, no terms-of-service surprises. It keeps working offline.

Who it's for

Built for people who study seriously.

Independent learners

Work through the textbook you always meant to finish — with a professor who never runs out of office hours.

JMNI Research

We measure what local AI can really do.

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.

Bring a textbook. Leave with a course.

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