Your AI. In Your Pocket.
A portable USB device that lets you run AI locally on your computer. No cloud, no subscriptions, no data leaving your hands.
Mait is a pocket-sized USB device that spins up a full AI server ecosystem on your host computer. Plug it into any compatible device and get instant access to your own powerful AI. Your conversations, your data, your preferences, your control. All in the palm of your hand.
No more excessive token fees or subscriptions; use mait as much as you want, without limits. AI you actually own. Buy once, own forever.
Core Features
Personalized AI
Mait learns from you. It builds a local database from your interactions, adapts to your preferences, and applies your knowledge to its responses. Provide it files, data, preferences, and roles — it will learn it all. Smart enough to converse naturally, but grounded in the data you trust it with. Pick up right where you left off — mait resumes conversations and tasks from your last session.
Complete Privacy
Your data never leaves the device. No tracking, no data mining, no telemetry. Mait processes everything locally on your machine with zero data transmission to external servers. This isn’t a privacy policy — it’s a physical architecture. There is no cloud for your data to leak to.
- 100% offline — big ideas, passwords, financial records, and proprietary information stay local
- Use it for financials, medical notes, consulting, journaling, or anything you need to keep private
- Designed for compliance with HIPAA, FERPA, GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection frameworks
- No install required on the host machine — data follows the device, resume elsewhere with ease
- Fully encrypted — data is kept private from prying eyes, even if the device is lost
Ultra Portable
Mait is a pocket-sized USB device. Take your AI companion anywhere, plug it into any compatible computer, and your entire AI ecosystem is right there — your data, your preferences, your conversations, your tools. Store it safely when not in use. No accounts to log into, no environments to configure, no installations to maintain.
Local AI — No Internet Required
Your AI runs entirely on your local machine. No internet connection is needed for any core functionality. Mait works on an airplane, in a remote cabin, at a secure facility, or anywhere connectivity is limited, unreliable, or intentionally restricted. Full functionality, always available, regardless of network conditions.
Instant Access
No complicated setup. Plug in and go. Mait is designed for everybody — not just techies. A simple interface keeps things organized while the device handles its own administration silently in the background. Self-regulating and self-cleaning, mait stays out of your way and focuses on making your life easier.
No Cloud Subscriptions
Zero cloud dependency. Traditional AI services charge per token, per month, or per query. Mait eliminates all of that. One device, one purchase, unlimited use. No recurring fees, no usage caps, no surprise charges. The AI runs on your hardware using your electricity — that’s it.
Security
Mait delivers enterprise-grade security in a consumer device.
- Password protection — optional walk-away access protection prevents unauthorized use
- Data encrypted at rest — full-disk encryption protects stored data
- Internal cryptography — secure orchestration between all internal components
- Offline by default — no network exposure means no remote attack surface
- CORS / SOC 2 local compliance — designed with security compliance frameworks in mind
- No data in transit — eliminates the most common attack vector in AI systems

How It Works
Mait contains a complete, self-contained AI server ecosystem on a single USB device. When plugged into a compatible computer, it launches its own runtime environment using the host machine’s CPU. No software installation is needed on the host — mait carries everything it needs.
The device uses BitNet b1.58 2B4T architecture, a highly efficient AI model that represents each parameter in just 1.58 bits instead of the 16–32 bits used by conventional models. This radical efficiency means mait runs on standard CPUs without requiring expensive GPUs or specialized AI hardware, while consuming a fraction of the energy that cloud-based AI systems demand.
All data — your conversations, your files, your preferences, your learned context — lives on the device itself. Nothing is transmitted over a network. Nothing is stored on a remote server. When you unplug mait, your AI goes with you. Plug it into a different machine and pick up exactly where you left off.
Platform & Extensibility
Mait isn’t just a device — it’s a platform.
- Local knowledge ingestion — point mait to local files, folders, or network directories and it will learn from them. Your documents, your notes, your data become part of its knowledge base.
- AI App Store (coming soon) — extend your mait experience with purpose-built tools and services from a curated marketplace.
- Developer SDK & Extensions — for advanced users and developers who want to push their mait further, build custom integrations, or develop applications on top of the mait platform.
- OEM architecture — mait’s deployment model supports quantized AI models packaged for offline operation, enabling specialized configurations for different industries and use cases.
Mait can integrate with your calendar to schedule, organize, and streamline your everyday tasks. It serves as a personal knowledge manager, a writing assistant, a research companion, and a productivity tool — all running locally with no external dependencies.
Eco-Friendly AI
Mait represents the lowest-energy approach to personal AI computing available today.
- Minimal compute footprint — 1.58-bit architecture uses 10–100x less energy than traditional AI models
- No cloud infrastructure — eliminates the data center energy consumption that powers every query to cloud-based AI services
- Commodity hardware — runs on the CPU you already own, no additional power-hungry GPU hardware required
- Small device profile — minimalist physical design, material footprint, and energy consumption

Alpha Launch (Gen 1)
The Mait Gen 1 is the inaugural hardware release from maiOS Inc. This alpha launch device ships with a 500 GB drive and represents the first publicly available portable AI ecosystem for everyday use.
This is an alpha product. It is purpose-built for early adopters who want to be among the first to own and shape the future of personal, private AI. As with any alpha release, the software will evolve — updates, refinements, and new capabilities will follow as the platform matures.
The alpha launch is limited and available exclusively through the early access auction at launch.maios.ai. Device procurement and production depend on the outcome of the auction. The current device renders are conceptual and represent the intended design direction.
Note: This initial launch is available for US delivery only, shipping to all 50 states. International availability may follow in future launches.
Compatibility
- Operating Systems: Windows, macOS, Linux
- Connection: USB Type-A or USB Type-C (dual connector)
- Host Hardware: Any modern computer with a standard CPU — no dedicated GPU, TPU, or specialized AI hardware required
- Software Installation: None required on the host machine
Regulatory & Compliance Notes
Mait’s local-only processing architecture is designed with regulatory compliance in mind. Because no data is transmitted externally, the device is architecturally aligned with the requirements of major data protection frameworks including HIPAA, FERPA, GDPR, and CCPA. Organizations operating in regulated industries should consult their compliance teams regarding specific implementation requirements.
AI technology may be subject to export control regulations. Consult the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) regarding ECCN classifications 3A090, 4A090, and 4E091, as well as EAR §734.7, §744, FDPR, and OFAC requirements before international transfer or sharing.
