Building privacy-first AI
for people and teams.

We're AscensaAI—quietly crafting tools that help people focus, reflect, and move work forward. We believe intelligence should feel helpful and human, and your data should stay yours.

About

Calm technology, quietly useful

Privacy, first and last

We design with clear boundaries: on-device by default, explicit consent when sharing, and controls you can understand at a glance.

Signals, not noise

Fewer, better prompts. We surface only what matters—so you spend more time doing, and less time managing your tools.

Built for real life

From personal momentum to team coordination, we sweat the mundane details—so the important work feels lighter.

What we value

  • Trust over thrills
  • Clarity over cleverness
  • Craft over speed (when it counts)

How we build

  • Small, senior-leaning teams
  • On-device first, cloud when it adds value
  • Measure what matters, not everything

Where we’re headed

Helping people understand their time and energy—and helping teams keep promises to each other. Carefully, and a step at a time.

Products

Quietly building, shipping when ready

We’re intentionally light on details while we iterate. If you’re curious about collaborating or piloting, we’d love to talk.

Patent Pending In development

Private Mobile Companion

A mobile-first, privacy-centric companion that notices patterns across your day and reflects them back as gentle, actionable insights. Think timeline, not timeline spam.

  • On-device inference for sensitive signals
  • Meaningful moments, organized into a simple timeline
  • Opt-in sharing across devices — only if you choose
Coming soon

Stealth Project

We’re developing a second product aimed at modern teams — still under wraps, still evolving. If you’re interested in shaping something new from the inside, reach out.
