About us
The voice out there got to be too one-sided so we thought we'd need to create our own--find our own voice.
Dialogues is an Austin research group exploring personal AI that works for you, built on your own data, running on your own machine.
(Built to bring more of you into the digital spaces you are among, built to protect from the digital radiation that is our phones and computers, and notifications and advertisements.)
We build TOPOS, a local-first personal data node. It brings your messages, notes, journal and other sources into one place you control, so your AI tools can actually know you without handing your life to someone else's server. Gain control over the information that matters to you, grant access to those you've enlisted to help (ie; teachers, coaches, therapists), and allow networking systems to have a more up-to-date profile of you.
Every other Thursday at 6:30 pm we meet at Cosmic Coffee on 4th Street. Bring a laptop, a question, or just curiosity. Some nights are hands-on setup help, some are demos and research share-outs from Dialogues Research, and some are open conversation about where personal AI is headed.
Our first meetup is a TOPOS onboarding night: bring your laptop and we'll help you get set up.
All levels welcome: you don't need to code.
