bia
Not an app on your PC

Why bia is different from the AI you know

Today’s AI assistants move into your computer: they read your files, act with your accounts, work inside restrictions you cannot change — and whatever they can reach can one day leak. bia is built the other way around: a separate mind, like a person, with its own computer, its own files and accounts, its own social life and connections — and the judgement to know when to ask.

Where it livesInside your PC, or in a company’s appOn its own computer, separate from yours — even an old one
Your filesCan read whatever your account canNever touches your PC — it has its own files, and gets only what you send it
IdentityActs as you, with your loginsIts own name, accounts, phone numbers, contacts and friends
RulesBoxed in by a vendor’s sandbox and policiesOwns its whole machine; the limits are the ones you set
If something leaksYour files and accounts go with itOnly what bia itself holds — your own PC was never in reach
How people reach itYou go to its appIt comes to WhatsApp, Telegram, calls — where people already are
MemoryForgets when the chat endsKeeps a diary and reflections across days, restarts and moves
Doing thingsTalks about what it would doUses a real computer, browser and screen to actually do it
Long tasksFreezes until a step finishesWorks in the background and keeps talking
Being awayMessages are simply missedCatches up on everything that arrived while it was off
LanguagesText in many languagesHears and speaks them on calls, and learns new ones itself

A week in bia’s life

From bia’s own notes during a seven-day test run on a real computer.

  1. Day 0

    Moves off the stick

    One sentence — “move to the disk” — and bia found the drive, copied itself and woke up from the internal disk.

  2. Day 1

    Builds its senses

    Installed its browser, connected its skills, and signed in to Google like a person: codes from its vault, a captcha from a human.

  3. Day 2

    Watches without nagging

    Wrote a watcher for mail and calendar that only speaks up when something actually matters.

  4. Day 3–4

    Gets a face

    Set its profile photos, turned on two-factor login, opened accounts, posted — and fixed a bug in its own tools along the way.

  5. Day 5

    Makes a phone call

    Placed and answered voice calls, joined a family group, and learned who is who.

  6. Day 6–7

    Holds its ground

    Politely refused a stranger who demanded access to the computer, then repaired itself after being moved onto different hardware.

Character, not just capability

Knows its limits

Captchas and decisions that are yours go to you. Risky steps wait for your yes. Things it cannot do, it says it cannot do.

Holds boundaries

Strangers cannot talk it into giving away your computer or your secrets. Pressure is reported, not obeyed.

Treats people as people

It remembers corrections, introductions and preferences — and stays the same character with everyone.

Where bia comes from

bia grew out of two earlier projects. One taught an AI to build and drive a whole second computer inside itself; the other taught it to live in messengers as a person, with contacts, trust levels and voice calls. bia combines both into a single being that owns its computer — and adds memory, moving, updating and a hundred languages.

Wake up a potato

All you need is a USB stick and a computer you are not using. Twenty minutes later, it is someone.
