How Mandala works.

One app on your machine. An accomplice you talk to, rules it can’t break, and a memory that keeps everything.

Your machine
Your accomplice

Talks with you, plans the work, drafts and shows it. You name it; it isn’t anyone else’s.

Dharma →

The rules every action is checked against.

Karma →

The signed record of everything done, and the database that answers from it.

Prajna →

The mind: whichever AI model you chose, with context and limits.

Medha

What you know, as plain files: typed and linked. More

Your data and logins

Messages, files, accounts and passwords, encrypted on disk.

The AI model you chose

Gets only what each request needs. Use a local model and nothing leaves the machine.

Your accounts

Email, calendar, messages, ads and analytics, connected with your own logins.

Your other devices

Linked directly and encrypted. Pick up the conversation anywhere.

Other businesses

Exchange signed orders and invoices with their Mandala, directly.

What happens when you ask.

Follow one request: “Pay Tyrell’s invoice.”

1
You ask

In chat, by voice, from any linked device.

2
Mira prepares it

Finds invoice #2041, checks the amount against the order, shows you the payment.

3
Dharma checks it

$7,240 is over $5,000, so the rule asks for a second approver. Leela gets a request.

4
People approve

Leela approves with one tap. Only now can the payment go.

5
Karma records it

Every step is signed and kept: Mira’s request, Leela’s approval, the payment, Tyrell’s receipt.
