Moai
alpha
Request access
Private Mac alpha · Apple silicon
One character becomes hundreds of images across Midjourney, ChatGPT, Figma and whatever agent you use next. Moai is the local workspace that remembers which version you approved, what came from where, and what to hand off.
Files stay on your Mac · No Moai credits · Bring your own AI access
01 / The problem
Not another final_final_07.png folder.
Three months on, which file was the approved side view? What did the prompt actually say? Which version is downstream work allowed to use?
02 / The loop
This is the whole product. Everything below is one loop, and every step keeps the original file, the version, and the reason it was approved.
01
Images from any tool, not just the ones Moai generated. Import, paste or drop them in. Moai records where each file came from, so provenance survives even when the original folder does not.
02
Draft notes change freely. Approving a Core version freezes the identity, the rules and the canonical views that downstream work must follow — and keeps every earlier version readable.
03
Search names, approved rules, prompts and history. An optional local semantic index runs on your own machine — keyword results come first, and nothing is sent to a cloud model to find your files.
04
Freeze a context pack from the approved Core — selected images, rules and versions, nothing else. Your agent reads your approved workspace through an explicit, revocable grant, or you take the handoff manually to whichever tool you prefer.
05
Universe maps characters, images and sessions from real provenance — not from guesses. Unrelated characters stay in separate clouds, and nothing is connected because it merely looks similar.
03 / Inside
Character Files
Identity, personality and consistency rules are yours to write and yours to approve. Suggestions from a local model stay candidates until you accept them.
Library
Scoped by character, generation history or reference. Two-stage deletion keeps originals recoverable, and blocked assets are never silently swapped for something else.
Studio
Generic creation canvas for characters, accessories, objects or ideas. Every run records the exact prompt and references it was sent, so a result can always be explained.
Assistant
Separate installed roles for chat, vision and indexing. The footer always shows which model is actually running. No silent fallback to a cloud provider.
Image generation
Run generation through your own connected accounts. Moai does not sell credits and does not sit in the middle of your billing.
Offline & private
Your library, versions and history are local. Network access is only needed for the specific generation or analysis you ask for.
04 / Local first
Characters, images, prompts and history live in your local Moai workspace.
Local library. Files are stored on your Mac, not uploaded to us.
Works offline. Browse and organize your whole workspace without a connection.
Local model roles. Chat, vision and indexing can run on your own machine.
Two different AI directions
Moai starts bounded work using your own connected accounts, and keeps the actual request and response on your Mac.
After one explicit, revocable grant, an external agent can read the Core versions you approved — and nothing else.
Neither direction authorizes the other. Connecting an agent does not let it spend your generation quota, and granting workspace access does not let Moai run arbitrary tools.
05 / Questions
On your Mac, inside your local Moai workspace. Moai does not upload your library to our servers. Network access is used only for a generation or analysis you explicitly start, and you can see what was selected before it is sent.
No. You can bring in images, organize them, approve a Core and export context without connecting anything. Generation and analysis are optional, and you choose which account or local model performs them.
No. Moai uses your own accounts and your own local models. There are no Moai credits, and we do not proxy your provider billing.
Yes, but only after you grant it. One explicit, persistent and revocable grant per agent lets it read the Core versions you approved. Drafts, private notes, unapproved images and generation history stay excluded, and any task still has to pin the exact versions it needs.
Not as a public link yet. Today you can export a self-contained character page locally and hand context to another tool or a collaborator through an explicit grant. Public hosting is not part of this alpha.
Deleting moves an asset to recoverable Trash first. Permanent deletion always asks for confirmation, and is blocked for locked Cores, approved view-set images and anything an active run depends on. Internal lineage records stay non-restorable so history remains honest.
Not yet. This alpha is Apple-silicon Mac only, because the local cutout tool uses Apple Vision.
Private alpha / Mac
We are looking for character designers, illustrators and indie creators who are already using AI tools seriously and losing track of their own work.
Tell us what you are making and we will send you a build when the next group opens.
Making characters with AI tools? Give them a memory that outlives the chat window.
