About Ramu

Get to Know Ramu

A little AI that knows its home.

Ramu is an AI companion for Android: talk through a local model, understand your device, and stay in control of your data and choices.

Built to make complex technology feel simple and close. If cloud services become an option, the choice to use them stays with you.

01 / Story

It Started with Curiosity

It began with a small question: could an AI model run directly on an Android phone? That experiment turned Gemma into a conversation partner that does not need to send every prompt to a server.

Then came another question. What if AI could also help explain a device’s battery, memory, connection, and usage habits in plain language?

That experiment grew into Ramu. Its foundation remains the same: start with what can run locally, respect privacy, and let people decide what they share.

04 / Technology

Two AI Capabilities, One Experience

Gemma already powers local chat. Claude remains a plan for work that needs more steps and information sources.

RamuOne experience, two distinct roles

Current foundation

Gemma — Local AI Core

An everyday chat companion running on-device. Ramu can include phone status as context, and local chat can work offline once a compatible model is ready.

  • Chat and device context
  • Local processing for privacy

Still planned

Claude — Planned Agentic Intelligence

An exploration for complex workflows: multi-step planning, tool calling, retrieval/RAG, a possible vector database, and external sources and services. Task execution would require user permission.

  • Integration is not available yet
  • Cloud services require a connection

Claude is a technology plan for Ramu, not a beta feature or an official Anthropic partnership.

05 / What’s next

Where Is Ramu Going Next?

The vision is a personal assistant that helps finish work, not just answer questions. The steps are gradual, with local AI remaining the foundation.
