Back to Celis
Manifesto

Your memory
should be yours

Your knowledge is scattered across files, emails, and a memory that fades. Big Tech's fix is to pull it onto their servers, train on it, and rent it back. Celis does the opposite.

Big Tech has split you into pieces

Your calendar lives with Google, your docs with Microsoft, your thinking in Notion, your conversations in Slack. Each tool owns a shard of you, none talk to each other, and all of them train on your data. None of it is yours.

Celis puts you back together. Your knowledge lives on your own devices as a graph of Cells: living models of every person, project, and company you work with. An agent keeps them current, and it works only for you.

Privacy by architecture, not by promise

  • Local by default. Your device is the source of truth.
  • Only you hold the key. We have nothing to read, sell, or hand over.
  • Masked before it leaves. Names, companies, and figures are stripped per-Cell.
  • Outlasts us. The format is open; if we shut down, the code releases and your graph keeps working.

The one law we never break: the moment you put intelligence on the server, you've become Palantir.

Your data is free. You pay only for the cloud

Your Cells are yours and cost nothing, and the agents are open, so anyone can verify that "private by design" is true, not just said. You pay for one thing only: the always-on node that keeps your graph synced, awake, and shared.

We're bootstrapped, with no venture capital. The moat is your graph, not secret code. Because privacy is architectural and not contractual, we couldn't betray you even if we wanted to.

Why Celis

Celis is Latin for the small rooms a structure is built from: its cells. Your knowledge isn't a monolith you rent access to; it's many small rooms you keep, connect, and walk through. And the point isn't just what you know. It's seeing how your understanding changed: what shifted, when, and why.

Everything you learn, kept in your own hands. Synced, awake, and yours forever.
