Local-first AI coding · Now accepting early access

Your AI. Your machine.
Cloud when you need it.

A desktop AI coding workspace that runs local models by default and routes to cloud only when the task demands it. One model in RAM, zero model swapping.

Cloud AI coding tools keep raising prices and gating usage. Rada gives you local-first AI coding without the cloud lock-in.

The problem

Every AI coding tool is cloud-only. The cost model is breaking.
You're paying cloud prices for refactors, explanations, and quick fixes that could run on your own hardware. And when providers can't sustain it, they raise prices or cut access.

# What cloud-only AI coding looks like
# refactor_function()    → cloud API  → $0.03
# explain_this_code()    → cloud API  → $0.02
# fix_typo()             → cloud API  → $0.01

# What Rada does instead
rada.route("local")  # your machine, your model, $0

What Rada does

Behavioral Routing

One local model, three behaviors. Rada adjusts the system prompt, temperature, and context window based on whether you're refactoring, building, or learning.

Smart cloud routing

When a task exceeds local capability, the Autorouter picks the right cloud endpoint automatically. Routed requests burn at half the normal quota rate.

Persistent memory

Context, decisions, and code patterns survive session restarts. Your AI assistant actually knows your codebase without being reminded every time.
