Most AI tools send your words and your files to someone else's servers. Ragtag does the opposite: it brings a capable AI down onto your own machine, and keeps it there.
The useful thing about an AI is when it knows about your stuff: the folder of contracts, the family history, the research you have gathered, the website you keep returning to. But handing all of that to a cloud service is a lot to ask, and for many people it is simply a non-starter.
So Ragtag turns the question around. It compiles your chosen sources into private Knowledge Pools, runs the model in-process on your device, and answers through personas you have shaped. No account, no telemetry, no background traffic. The only time it reaches the network is to fetch the pages and searches you asked for, and to download a model once on first run.
People who are not developers and should not have to be: researchers, consultants, families, small businesses, anyone with a body of material they want to actually talk to. You never need to know what an embedding is, or what a vector index does. Ragtag abstracts all of that away and gives you a character to ask.
Ragtag is built by Captivated Ltd, a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 15936109), based in Sheffield. We build a small suite of local-first, privacy-respecting software; Ragtag is the AI member of that family.
