One conviction.
Intelligence is becoming the record of how we think. We are building so that record stays yours.
Own the word. Sovereignty.
Money proved the thesis. Intelligence is the second application.
A policy about what a host chooses to do with your data.
A physical fact about where data sits and who can reach it.
YveChat is built on custody.
Own your compute
Ollama runs open models on your hardware. Prompts, output, and weights stay on your machine.
Own your data
Conversations, generated images, and credentials persist on your computer, in your custody.
Own your access
A six-digit code pairs the workspace to your machine, and you approve it locally.
YveChat is the sovereign AI workspace for people who run or control their own AI infrastructure. It suits local-AI users, self-hosters, builders, and privacy-conscious operators who are ready to install a local component.
Dan Leong
“AI is becoming a record of how we think. Ownership of that intelligence will be one of the defining questions of the next phase of AI.”
Dan founded YveChat around a single conviction. The intelligence accumulating inside our AI workspaces, our research, unfinished ideas, decisions, questions, and years of conversation, is becoming a record of how we think.
He believes that record belongs to the person who created it, and he leads YveChat's bet that self-custody of intelligence is the defining question of AI's next phase.
Alvis Sim
“The next phase of AI will be shaped by who controls the infrastructure around intelligence. YveChat is our answer.”
Alvis leads the engineering behind YveChat. He is obsessed with local AI systems: model infrastructure, self-hosted data, provider-neutral architecture, and agent tooling.
He is building a workspace where you keep control of your models, conversations, compute, credentials, and identity, because the infrastructure around intelligence is what will decide the next phase of AI.
Sovereignty, in practice.
